Space Quest IV gets an Amiga OCS Enhanced version via DaRaSCo / SCP

Every time I try to find Space Quest IV for the Amiga to add to my ever growing childhood collection, I'm always told not to bother as it's terrible. In fact one person on the Lemon Amiga site said, "they booted it up on their A1200, 'played' it for 10 minutes, vomited at the non-amiga-worthy graphics, swore at the arrogance of sierra for releasing a daft excuse for a port and almost destroyed the hard drive". Well worry not! As I've just found out through the Sierra Gaming World Facebook group, that Darasco has finally released an enhanced version for the Amiga OCS.

King's Quest V - A great adventure game by Sierra gets an Amiga OCS remaster

Many years ago in the early 90's there was a classic Adventure game by Sierra called King's Quest V, which featured the first King's Quest instalment to replace the typing user interface with a point-and-click user interface. It was in my opinion one of the best games in the series, which even today sits proudly on my shelf amongst other greats by Sierra. Well if you too remember this game will be pleased to know that anouk33 has shown a new video of a King's Quest remaster bringing it closer to the graphics of the PC version.

Space Quest II review - A classic Sci-fi adventure reviewed by DarkwyndPT

So, the new MCU movie, Captain Marvel, is on cinemas right now and as far as I remember, Carol Danvers isn’t in any video game whatsoever, so I decided to just review a classic sci-fi game set in space.

Manhunter: New York - A classic Adventure game reviewed by DarkwyndPT

For those who had the privilege to experience videogames during the 80s and 90s (like yours truly), you probably noticed that the period between the late 80s and early 90s was probably the most prolific in terms of novelties. Basically, developers back then (but especially during that specific period) threw every idea they had at the wall to see what stuck and what not. In other words, developers and companies weren’t afraid to experiment with new ideas and concepts, and creativity was the most valuable asset when creating new games. And sometimes, they came up with some interesting games like the one we’re about to review. I’m talking about Manhunter: New York.
