Dick Tracy: The Crime Solving Adventure - Retro Amiga release for PC

You may remember our most recent article of the The Company.PL Amiga PC port release of "Dick Tracy"; a wooden, shallow, awkward, tedious, and generally devoid of much of the atmosphere shooter. Also it being inferior to Disney's 1991 "Dick Tracy: Crime Solving Adventure"! Thankfully we are past that poor game and going to feature Disney's version today.

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. So here we are with another well known classic, "Dick Tracy" which originally was a 1990 American action film based on the 1930s comic strip character given the game treatment for home systems by Titus. 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.

Rick Dangerous Compilation - An incredible classic ported to Amiga CD32 (+PC Portable)

Today was one of those days but when I saw the latest Amiga CD32 Earok port release of Rick Dangerous and it's sequel, my mood changed to one of joy. It's incredible to think that the same people behind Tomb Raider, Core Design were also behind this amazing series of Indiana Jones style platformers.

Watchtower - Another take on the Commando style genre (PC portable)

Even though Commando and Ikari Warriors were very good games, Watchtower came just at the right moment in time when the Commando style genre was all but lost to history and this was a great Amiga AGA only game released in 1996. Watchtower not only had very polished arcade style mechanics but the graphics were pretty decent as well, especially with such a huge game area to play in. Some would class this as the best Commando clone that was available on the Amiga and after you play it you'll probably see why. Watchtower is full of shooting action and is now available as a free PC portable edition thanks to The Company.PL.

Companions of Xanth, Shannara & Death Gate available for FREE!

Indie Retro News has a big treat for you today as three amazing games have re-appeared for free that are renowned as some of the greatest Adventure games of the 90's, Companions of Xanth, Shannara and Death Gate. All three of these games were developed and published by Legend Entertainment and aimed to give a different approach to the way Adventure titles were done. Instead of the usual point and click and moving a character about, each scene was as if it was in a first person view, and it's how you interacted with that scene, which helped to determine if a puzzle was to be solved or in one situation certain death. The graphics were in SVGA and excelled in detail, it was like a story book come to life. Plus with the very good in depth story relating to the original books and characters to talk to, these are three of the greatest Adventure games that I've ever played.
