Hybrid (PSX) - Guest Post

So here we are. The very first PlayStation first person shooter I ever played. The game that put me off playing first person shooters on consoles for almost a decade.

Say 'Hi!' to Hybrid!

Litil Divil (Amiga CD32)

That is actually a reasonably nice looking title screen. The cartoon guy in the background looks really well drawn, and the text obscuring his face is about as classy as you could hope for. I probably shouldn't expect much from it, but maybe it'd be okay to get my hopes up just a little bit, just this once.

This was also released for PC and the Phillips CD-i, but I'll be playing the Amiga CD32 version.

Gordo 106 (Lynx)

Why do video game animal heroes always have to be 'the' something? Sonic the Hedgehog, Ecco the Dolphin, Spyro the Dragon, Aero the Acrobat, Quik the Thunder Rabbit...

Offensive (MS-DOS)

I'm guessing it's got something to do with war.

Zorro: A Cinematic Action Adventure (MS-DOS) - Guest Post

It's Zorro!

From the makers of TekWar and Corridor 7 and... oh God what am I doing?

Blackhawk / Blackthorne (SNES)

Okay, today I'm playing Blackhawk by Blizzard, better known as Blackthorne. I've no idea why they decided to change the name for the European release. The logo even still has the triangle in the middle where the T used to sit. It doesn't look right without it.

Flashback (Amiga)

Today's game is classic multiplatform platformer Flashback. This is one I've definitely played a few times before, but it's been a long while since I last loaded up. Plus I never could get anywhere in the game, so maybe this time I'll see something new.

I'll mostly be looking at the Amiga version as I believe it was the first one released and I'm an obsessed Amiga fan. Plus it's got the best title screen! I don't exactly know what I'm looking at here (an ice sculpture of a concerned owl observing the devastation from an orbital laser strike perhaps), but it certainly looks exciting.
