Community Lens:

The second game in the James Pond series has the humorous subtitle Robocod. A game themed around Christmas and having the power to stretch James upward should never have worked, but surprisingly this was a really good classic platformer
Podcast Ep20! Our chosen nominations for best Game Boy Advance game - including 3 from Benn Banasik! And Ghouls n Ghosts speedruns, Tekken 2, and River Raid TE patches? Patches! iTunes and Stitcher gamethesystem.co/podcast Sponsored by 1989 Arcade Bar bit.ly/2tKkvWo
Test Drive II: The Duel was a fantastic simulation racing game with a race against the CPU, and police to ruin your day! Drive either a Porsche 959 or Ferrari F40 - later expansions would add even more exhilarating cars
The game that started a franchise, James Pond! A great 2D side scrolling platformer that managed to climb it’s way to popularity despite the massive glut in the genre at the time. It would go on to release a number of equally popular sequels
A McDonalds game? Yep, Global Gladiators was the food chain giants attempt at capturing more young minds. It actually wasn’t a terrible little platformer! Questionable motives though...
Ghoul Patrol? The mind boggles as to why they decided to change the name of the series for this sequel to Zombies Ate My Neighbours. I mean, Zombies Ate My Neighbours Too! has a much better ring to it...
Shadow of the Beast was a system seller for the Commodore Amiga due to the incredible visuals, both artistically and technically. The gameplay wasn’t as impressive, however it was popular enough to see many ports to other systems like this Mega Drive version
If you were after a good western RPG on 8 and 16 bit computers, you couldn’t go past The Bard’s Tale series. Absolutely packed with countless hours of adventuring and monster clobbering!
Super Mario All Stars on the SNES was a great compilation of the classic Mario games redone for 16bit. For many in Australia and Europe, it would be their first exposure to these as the NES just wasn’t that popular. And the first time the west experienced the real Super Mario 2!
Podcast Ep19! In depth on the Billy Mitchell / Todd Rogers Twin Galaxies controversy. A 9 hour game of Ghouls n Ghosts, Star Wars Rogue Leader, and “everyone’s favourite segment” River Raid TE Update! iTunes and Stitcher http://gamethesystem.co/podcast Sponsored by http://facebook.com/pg/1989arcadebar
