Crazy Cars 3 - Interesting C64 EasyFlash release from Excess... 25 years later.

1992 was a depressing year for C64 owners... Their friends were beating the crap out of each other in arcade perfect ports of Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat on the SNES. Their other friends were playing Co-op multiplayer Alien Breed on the Amiga, and their other friends were zipping through blazing fast platforming nirvana in Sonic on the Megadrive.  But hey it wasn't all bad...  at least we didn't have PCs with CGA purple graphics and bloopy motherboard noises.  Releases were still being produced for the now decade old 8 bit microcomputer, like this one from Titus Software, continuing their original Lamborghini Diablo racing franchise.  But I guess by this point all the best developers had moved onto bigger things, as the C64 port for Crazy Cars 3, was quite frankly as dull as dishwater.  This hilarious Zzap / Commodore Force review from issue #92 sums it up brilliantly.

Dick Tracy - Another The Company.pl retro shooter release!

Ah the good old days, games based on movies pushed onto the Arcades or home systems such as the Amiga and Atari.

It's just a shame that this version was inferior to Disney's "Dick Tracy: Crime Solving Adventure " as one site puts it Titus' Dick Tracy is a wooden, shallow, awkward, tedious, and generally devoid of much of the atmosphere shooter that makes the movie a cult favourite among fans of detective novels.  But at least with that out of the way, you can make your own mind up through this free Amiga - PC portable release, thanks to The Company.PL.
