Community Lens:

There were plenty of ‘pet simulator’ games out there even way back in the 80s. Nintendogs on the DS was one such game that hit the big time with players of all ages and sexes. What was your favourite pocket pet?
Commando wasn’t just a great arcade game by Capcom, but also became a major classic in it’s own right on the Commodore 64. Due in large part to the amazing SID chip tune by composer Rob Hubbard!
The one that started it all - Metroid on the NES! Now one of the most popular game series of all time, and one that is the highlight of major events such as Games Done Quick. A classic that coined its own genre definition: Metroidvania!
Anyone out there play Apple Panic on the Commodore Vic20? We hear it’s a liked game but we don’t have any experience ourselves!
Know anything about Blue Angels from Accolade on the C64? We sure don’t, and you can tell we haven’t played it because this box is still sealed! Was the simulation good? Poor? Were there any better versions on other gaming platforms?
Podcast Ep17! Fantastic T-Shirts to give away to you, the readers! River Raid TE done? Twin Galaxies record get. Soulcalibur II. Alien Trilogy. Starcraft. Critical Hit pinball comp! iTunes and Stitcher gamethesystem.co/podcast Sponsored by 1989 Arcade Bar bit.ly/2tKkvWo
The Game Boy Advance was exactly that, a significantly advanced revision of the original. 32bit, full colour, wide screen, and backlit! The library of games was also impressive and made this handheld the one to own
Chakan the Forever Man on the Mega Drive. An out there game that had you control an undead and cursed warrior with twin blades and magic powers. This action platform slash-em-up was actually pretty good!
A very ambitious project considering how late in the life of the C64 Turbo Charge was released. Developer System 3 threw everything at this game with incredible graphics, racing action in your Lamborghini, and even including crosshairs to fire weaponry while you drive!
It didn’t get much better than this for party games. Only one cartridge required, and 8 friends with their DS, for absolute bedlam and hilarity over the system’s built in wireless. It was a revelation at the time - Mario Kart DS was way too much fun
