Charlie Chaplin - Lost and found C64 game previewed features a historic film comedian


Onslaught are on form this week as after releasing a preview of the shoot em up Red Baron 3000, they've now found and released a preview of Charlie Chaplin on the C64 (coming on one disk instead of two, with bug fixes). This was a very unusual game for its time only appearing on the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum. It featured the historic actor, director, editor, composer, screenwriter and producer Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) in his very own black and white masterpieces, that could be reviewed and retaken just like all those years ago.

Super Monaco GP +6DG - Hokuto Force is aiming for pole position in this C64 release


In the early 90's Sega with publishing rights by US Gold, released the Arcade racing game of ' Super Monaco GP ' on a multitude of systems including the C64. It had a brilliant soundtrack by Jeroen Tel and required you the racer, to both qualify and then win the Grand Prix of Monaco! That same game has once again appeared today, but this time by Hokuto Force as ' Super Monaco GP +6DG ', which was done for a request from an HF fan and features 6 trainers and the speccy original pic + dox in a separate file

The Goonies Remake - A look back at a remade movie game classic


Here's another great classic that wasn't just a movie, it had a game too! And that game, just like the movie was called The Goonies. Originally the game came out for the C64, Atari 8bit and Apple II in 1985 from Datasoft, but was later ported to the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC by US Gold. This game follows very closely to the movie in the fact that many of the screens were largely inspired by actual sets and puzzles seen in the film. Play through the levels while using two members of the Goonies to solve puzzles, and finally reach the exit. This remake overhauls the graphics in a pretty big way, but it really works and it looks so good while remaining true to the original game. Developed by the Sloth Team in 2010, this is a great remake.
