Atomic Runner. Actually better than the arcade.

180 arrived to me in Melbourne on the 14/5

bubble bobble.

179 arrived today, 16th April, Melbourne, AU

Three possibilities for the C= 64 then - 2MHz cpu that halts when memory is busy (i.e. done like the A8) (so effectively max 1.54MHz compared to effectively 0.95MHz today) - Modulo functionality to the character map addressing - Full 16 bits address for the screen address A few for the Amiga too: -...

The Ninja Gaiden (NES) games & Atomic Runner (Genny/MD) used to regularly kick my teeth in back in the day. Good times.

Atomic Runner is an underappreciated title. I was quite good at the arcade version and the MD version is an improvement on it.
I almost completed it once

It's also a bit galling to be receiving emails about the wonderful latest issue when the previous still hasn't arrived yet.

For comparison with overseas deliveries, Issue 179 is with UK subscribers today.

*sigh*

Issue #178 arrived today in Melbourne

178 still not arrived for me in Melbourne.

Nothing directly based on Conan the Barbarian. There was going to be a Jaguar game based on Conan The Barbarian, a scrolling beat 'em up no less. You can see it in this video if you skip to 2:52 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgBRt1Or0cY I was gutted when it never got released :( Looks very Gold...

C64: 2mhz CPU.

Cadaver by a long shot. I was obsessed with it enough to map it out and write up a game solution, which is still kicking about the internet 20 years later.
