I was a member too, although I threw out all the old club magazines before a house move. That's a shame, I wonder if anyone out there has these magazines to scan? Would be great to add to one of the many magazine archives out there. Bought something most months, and often took the Editor’s Choice. ...

Does anyone remember the Home Computer Club? It was a mail order club where you had attractive offers such as 'get 3 games for just 49p each' to join! They advertised quite heavily in magazines, usually as a flyer inside. The catch was that once you were a member you had to purchase one item from th...

now this one ... i thought this was pretty good actually, but had to wait for the spectrum version now i said originally it was the commie version, as it has horrible muddy colours but then i said amstrad ... now i'm guessing the DOS version? :wink: it is of course AIRBOURNE RANGER i liked it's iso...

I'd love something like Star Wars, with controls you can't properly emulate elsewhere, and I'd pay the asking price, but until they're on sale in the UK talking about them is just pointless gum-bumping. 👆 Completely agree. If the Star Wars and Out Run cabinets were available in the UK I would buy b...

Time for a clue?

OK, it was first released on the C64 in 1987, then ported across to the Amstrad, Spectrum, DOS, Amiga and Atari ST (1988-89).

Haven't seen too many images of the box/package on the internet before... then this one popped up on eBay:



Beautiful!

I also sort of accidentally bought Chrono Trigger!

Nice! It's a fantastic RPG that will give you hours of enjoyment. Just be sure to play on a 3DS XL or DSi XL to really bring out the amazing art style!

OK, here's the next one... shouldn't be too difficult.

I've cropped the image for obvious reasons!

Name and format please.

That would make it ‘Sauro’ (1987)!

Quite tough this one... I don't know many arcade horizontal submarine shooters!

Can we have a clue please?

Yep! I definitely want that. Let's hope for a European release.

That looks like an Awesome game on the Amiga!

That was quick! Yes, it is 'Awesome'... although this was taken from the Atari ST version (very similar to the Amiga).

Your go!

Game and platform please!

Hopefully this won't be too tricky to work out:

It was tricky!

But after a bit of research (and with the help of your clue) it appears to be 'Chisholm Trail'.

The whole "Limited digital release" seems like a bit of a con. Buy it now or you wont get chance to It does seem a little silly, but just buy the physical version instead! :D No SMG2 because it's the usual half arsed 'that'll do' when it comes to Nintendo putting stuff out.
