Dr Doom SUBS 30th Nov 2016		Video Game Pssst - Ultimate Play The Game (1983)	Got to agree. This was an amazing game. 16K! 1983!
Dr Doom SUBS 30th Nov 2016		Video Game Molar Maul - Imagine (1983)	Rated 5/10 The wonderful thing about ZXSpectrum games being fairly easy and cheap to programme, manufacture and distribute is that a game based on dental hygiene can make it onto the shelves before being poo-poo'ed by a marketing department asking 'Are you insane?' It may not be the best game ever but it's certainly different. Unlikely to be revamped for PS4 anytime soon.... 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 30th Nov 2016		Video Game SQIJ! - The Power House (1987)	Considered the worst ZXSpectrum game ever, and there was some stiff competition. Here's A NSFW review of this piece of garbage... [YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 30th Nov 2016		Video Game Spiker Super Pro Volleyball - INTV (1989)	Widely considered the rarest Intellivision title of all time. Boxed copies sell for over $1,000
Dr Doom SUBS 30th Nov 2016		Video Game Learning Fun I - INTV (1987)	It's one of the stranger quirks of vintage video game collecting that educational games such as this (and it's follow up Learning Fun II) end of being among the most collectable titles on the system. An original copy of this in it's box would set you back several hundred dollars!
Dr Doom SUBS 29th Nov 2016		Video Game Microsurgeon - Imagic (1982)	Trippy stuff! [YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 29th Nov 2016		Video Game Dracula - Imagic (1983)	Terrifying stuff!!! [YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 15th Nov 2016		Video Game Hard Drivin' - Atari (1989)	They'd never get away with that nowadays. Lawsuit! ; )
Dr Doom SUBS 15th Nov 2016		Video Game Bugaboo (The Flea) - Quicksilva (1983)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 15th Nov 2016		Video Game Deathchase - Micromega (1983)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 15th Nov 2016		Video Game Deathchase - Micromega (1983)	Rated 7/10 I was one of the ignorant fools who mistakenly called this 3D Deathchase - I'm blaming the cassette artwork. It may look primitive nowadays but at the time this game was Hi-Adrenaline stuff. Those trees seemed to positively hurtle towards you. Exciting stuff for it's time, the only problem being that it got a bit samey even with the innovation of day turning into night. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 15th Nov 2016		Video Game Ant Attack - Quicksilva (1983)	I was rubbish at this. Couldn't get my fingers around the keys and the primitive 3D. Still loved it none the less!
Dr Doom SUBS 15th Nov 2016		Video Game Captain America And The Avengers - Data East (1991)	Walkthrough... [YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 9th Nov 2016		Video Game Punch-Out!! - Nintendo (1984)	Rated 7/10 Another game that I loved playing back in the arcade in the mid to late 80s. I'm reviewing this from distant memory but I recall thinking it was really playable and light hearted. 'Fighting' games got serious pretty quick and strayed into territory I'm not too interested in but this was FUN - It must have been as I kept pumping coins in even though I was totally rubbish at playing it! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 29th Sep 2016		Video Game Mouse Trap - Exidy (1981)	I've never seen this before but it looks suspiciously like Pac-Man with badly rendered cats instead of ghosts!
Dr Doom SUBS 24th Sep 2016		Video Game Death Race - Exidy (1976)	Review At the time this game was considered controversial for it's levels of excessive violence. Just look at the screenshot - terrifying!!!! I suspect the lurid cabinet art was twisting peoples minds. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 24th Sep 2016		Video Game Computer Space - Nutting Associates (1972)	Acknowledged as the first ever coin-op video game. Not surprisingly it looks laughably primitive nowadays but must have blown minds back in the early 70s!
Dr Doom SUBS 24th Sep 2016		Video Game Galaga - Midway (1981)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 3rd Sep 2016		Video Game The Empire Strikes Back - Atari (1985)	Rated 7/10 I don't remember this one and after a bit of research I can see why. Two years after the success of the Star Wars arcade game came this follow up which was merely a modification of the original. Arcade owners had the choice to convert their existing Star Wars cabinets to house this new game at considerable cost. The problem being that the new game is inferior to the old one! The At-At level is pretty cool but the real problem is the final level. Dodging asteroids is something of an anti-climax and simply can't compete with the previous finale of destroying the Death Star. With the original Star Wars still doing good business there was little incentive for arcades to convert to this new game (unless they had two machines) making it something of a rarity. Not a bad game but one destined to forever be compared to it's classic predecessor. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 3rd Sep 2016		Video Game Star Wars - Atari (1983)	A lottery win and one of those babies would be mine!
Dr Doom SUBS 2nd Sep 2016		Video Game Star Wars - Atari (1983)	Rated 10/10 Although it may seem primitive nowadays this game rocked my world in 1983 and I can't imagine ever not being under it's spell. It may be simple but it caught the mood of Star Wars perfectly. An emulator can't really do justice to the reverse joystick control and great sound effects and music booming out of the cabinet. Although I loved this game I was also a bit rubbish at it. As soon as more than two tie-fighters appeared I would panic. I would dearly love to play this in an arcade again. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 21st Aug 2016		Video Game Baby Pac-Man - Bally Midway (1982)	Another variation on the original Pac-Man. What makes this one more interesting is that it was done without Namco's consent which led to the breakdown of the partnership between Namco and Bally Midway.
Dr Doom SUBS 18th Aug 2016		Video Game The House Of The Dead - Sega (1996)	Walkthrough... [YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 11th Aug 2016		Video Game Pole Position - Namco (1982)	Yes I think that was the big thing at the time it may seem a bit old fashioned now but in 1982 it qualified as virtual reality! And you are right a current day emulator can't really do the game justice.
Dr Doom SUBS 6th Aug 2016		Video Game Pole Position - Namco (1982)	Widely considered the mother of all driving games. This game was EVERYWHERE in 1983.
Dr Doom SUBS 3rd Aug 2016		Video Game Arabian - Atari (1983)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 2nd Aug 2016		Video Game Domino Man - Bally Midway (1983)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 29th Jul 2016		Video Game Nibbler - Rock-Ola (1982)	A simple but addictive hybrid of Snake vs Pac-Man
Dr Doom SUBS 23rd Jul 2016		Video Game Q*bert’s Qubes - Gottlieb (1983)	[YouTube Video]
Dr Doom SUBS 18th Jul 2016		Video Game Galaxian - Namco (1979)	Yes indeed. I always thought Space Invaders was cool and 'iconic' but Galaxian was really where the action was!
