If you have a MSX then read on! As I've just found out through Twitter that the previously announced 'Space Bash: Contact!!', a spiritual successor to Jaleco’s legendary RodLand, has come out of development and been released for all to enjoy. Developed for the prestigious MSXdev’25 competition, this title swaps the fairy land of the original for a bizarre alien world, promising an experience that is faster, more challenging, and—as the developers put it—significantly "crazier."
A rather interesting news story for you all, as looking through the EAB forums for some games to talk about, and we've found out through Earok, who created the Scorpion Engine, that he has made available a basket full of unofficial and unfinished demo projects for the Commodore Amiga. Although he does state while they can be downloaded, aren't really intended to be played! Well that hasn't stopped us, as here's the latest videos and further details from Earok below.
Storm Software released this game and very few others, apart from the acclaimed Street Dragon, or should that be Saint Dragon? But this was way too late in the Speccy's heyday for me to have caught it first time round, so it's all new to me now. And it received a colourful update in 2012 from that man again Rafal Miazga. He's not actually sponsoring my website honestly, though maybe he should at this rate.
The game was advertised with the line "So cute, it'll make you puke!" which is quite something, interesting PR approach. I guess they were trying to appeal to the Rainbow Islands/Bubble Bobble kind of audience, but felt slightly ashamed of themselves for doing so.
An early morning news story for all you fine Amstrad owners, as we've recently been trawling the Cpcwiki forums and can now confirm the Arcade classic of Rodland, is getting an Amstrad remake overhaul called 'Rit and Tam'. Although this game was already released for old systems such as the Amstrad, Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Game Boy, NES, and ZX Spectrum this version will be more in line with the Arcade original from 1990.
