Klass of 99 - A re-release of the original remake from 1999, makes an appearance by BitGlint Games!

Skool Daze was released in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum and C64, and created by David Reidy. It was the only game of it's time, that gave you the experience of being at school, yet it was not an education game, it had a very creative side. You play as a schoolboy named Eric and his task was to steal the report card from the headmaster's safe, because if you didn't, your parents would not be happy. This in part was achieved by obtaining every piece of the pass-code from the teachers, by hitting each of the shields with your catapult.

Skool Daze was released in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum and C64, created by David Reidy and Helen Reidy with the ZX Spectrum version voted the 4th best game of all time in a special issue of Your Sinclair magazine in 2004. It was the only game of its time that gave you the true 8-bit experience of being at school, with all the lines and detention that came with the bad side of being a naughty kid. Now for the first time ever, after already appearing on the ZX, C64, Amstrad(Port), PC(Remake) and Mobile, this classic game is going to appear on the Atari 8-bit with development by Mariusz Wojcieszek and José Pereira!

A fantastic news story has just reached our inbox as Alternative Software's upcoming Skool Daze remake may be released this week on mobile and tablets. It's incredible to think that Skool Daze was first released way back in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum and C64 created by David Reidy. It was the only game of its time, that gave you the experience of being at school, while also being an unruly child trying to steal a report card from the headmaster's safe before your parents end up seeing it.

A fantastic news story has just reached our inbox today and also thanks to a hearty mention by Chris Wilkins (Fusion Retro Books), is Alternative Software's upcoming Skool Daze remake which is coming to mobile and tablets very soon. It's incredible to think that Skool Daze was first released way back in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum and C64 created by David Reidy. It was the only game of its time, that gave you the experience of being at school, while also being an unruly child trying to steal a report card from the headmaster's safe before your parents end up seeing it. So you can see why I'm just that little bit excited to play this remake as the game is a very nostalgic experience for me, even if I was a good boy at school.

Skool Daze - Retro School antics goes final for the Amstrad CPC


Another hit game which I'm sure you remember was the world favourite of 'Skool Daze'; a ZX Spectrum release from 1984 that featured lots of school antics as you play as a naughty schoolboy named Eric with a task to steal the report card from the headmaster's safe! When I originally played it I had so much fun back in the day, there was nothing better than smacking other kids with your trusty catapult or causing havoc for the teachers and getting 1000's of lines. So how would you like to play the Amstrad conversion which in the last month or so was finally released by the developer Joseman? You do, good! Because it is available to download as a disk and works via an Amstrad emulator or real Amstrad CPC hardware!

Havoc Your Way - The Chaos Years - Option 4 Studios announces a new take on the Skool Daze style!


As soon as I saw this on Kickstarter my mind was blown, it looks simply awesome! From the colourful characters, to the retro style backgrounds. But the biggest wow factor was that it looks so much like Little Computer People or Skool Daze, the 80's hit classics and I was right. Havoc Your Way by Option 4 Studios is inspired by the classic 80's games of old, combined with a dash of modern graphical goodness. The aim of this game is to be either be good or bad, it's your choice! Whichever path you take, you have an adversary, Brian, who will take the other path, battling against you for points. Featuring great locations such as the School, Work and others, this is one of those games that screams "TAKE MY MONEY NOW!". Havoc Your Way - The Chaos Years is up for funding through Kickstarter and needs £15,000 for PC and Mac with stretch goals to develop for iOS, Android, Windows 8 Phone and Blackberry.
Release : Dec 2015
