So I've heard - I'm currently tracking the series down on eBay 👍

Yikes, I didn't know it wasn't available on physical any more. Glad I've hung on to my copy! I'll bet prices go sky high on ebay for second hand copies now.

Thank you - cheers for watching!

Hehe, I know the feeling. I only had Megatron and Starscream back in 1984 - they took a hell of a lot of punishment and there's little left of them these days!

Yeah, it's definitely one that still holds up to this day in terms of playability - thanks for watching!

@@castries Yeah, worth spending your pocket money on back in the 90s to see this (although the voice acting leaves a lot to be desired!).

It certainly has 'perks' that Bubble Bobble doesn't! 😉

@@JaxDagger It was my first proper console too (only owned a ZX Spectrum before that!). I'm still going Sega will release a 'mini' version of the Master System 🫰

@@retrogamerecluse yeah my brother owned a ZX spectrum, when my step dad wasn't running chess on it and leaving it on for days on end to finish a game we sometimes got to use it haha

@@rickysingh9043 hehe, yeah, I'm already looking for sites with ROMs to add 👍

@@retrogamerecluse There's ample sites with ROMs. I've waited over 34 years to get my hands on one. I had the Amstrad CPC 464 Plus back in 1990 and i couldn't justify getting a ZX Spectrum to my parents

LOL, reminds me of when I got my Dad to buy this for me for Christmas back in 1991. He said the woman in WH Smiths looked at him like he was crazy when he asked for 'Robocod!'

@@DeadOmega I know! My favourite on the system (and one of the reasons Christmas 1989 was so memorable!).

Yeah, normally these old NES games cripple me with their difficulty, but this one was very playable once you got the hang of the controls and the way it played. Kind of like a fairer version of 'Ninja Gaiden!'

@@manslikeaqeelsonicadvances8566 one day I'll find a way of defeating Barron Von Blubber!

@@retrogamerecluse Absolutely!

Yeah, not many endings on the system really blow me away, but the games are just too much fun to not go back to!

Yeah, they didn't really take making computer games that seriously in those days. The game has a real 'Monty Python' feel to it!

Yeah, it does look similar (I used to love 'Wacky Races' on the Dreamcast, but I haven't played it in ages - thanks for reminding me - I'll have to track it down!). But 'Duck Dodgers' was one of those rare 3D platform games that was actually quite playable during that generation of consoles.

@@MrMartinJBoogie hehe, beats the meger sound effects from the old Tomytronic! 😉

@@retrogamerecluse 😉

@@prpenot1 lol, that would explain why every game I've owned since my ZX Spectrum days has stopped working! 😭😭😭

No, sadly not - that whole text dump could be literary gold and I'd never know!

Yeah, it's a pretty good little ditty - proving the PC Engine didn't always need its CD 'big brother' to produce banging tracks 👍

I think the reason it looks a bit like a PS2 game was because they were trying to capture the look of the 'Monkey Island' sequels which were released around the time the PS2 came out.

@@virtualspooks4778 Yeah, it took me a while to get into. I tend to play anything vaguely 'Doom-like' by just running in and shooting, but this one needed a little more thinking before I shoot everything that moves! 👽

I'm quietly optimistic about it as I bought both Retro Games Ltd's Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 mini and they are both excellent pieces of kit - definitely a must buy for collections and fans of the original systems. Bring on the ZX and its 'dead flesh' keyboard!

Yeah, I only really recently heard about the series. Apparently, it was held it high regard during its time, but it must have passed me by back then. Was good though! Thanks for watching!

@@Metal_Maxine Nothing more scary than a metal murder carrot flying towards you from the deepest, darkest depths of space 😉

It was absolutely huge here in Britain throughout the 80s. Before the 'console war' of the 90s between Sega and Nintendo, we had our own three-way 'Computer War' between the Spectrum, the Commodore 64 and the Amstrad 64.' No prizes for guessing I was on 'Team Speccy!' I know these games aren't much by today's standards and it's mainly nostalgia driving the love for the system, but if you ever get the chance to play a ZX Spectrum game, I recommend 'Target Renegade' or 'Dan Dare' - both are amazing games for their limitations. Thanks for watching! ☺👍

Takes a while to complete these old NES games - they make 'Dark Souls' look like a walk in the park!

Hehe, I have to confess...A500 mini actually!

No, don't think the PS5 plays regular disc-based PS3 games on it. Only way would be if the Playstation store allows players to stream selected PS3 games I think.

@@dronos11 I think it was probably just released in Japan or something. I stumbled across it on Mame. It's a good little shoot 'em up. But I have no idea what the ending is all about! 😳

Cheers! I never thought they'd make a game of this film until I found it on emulation!

I know. It's really playable too. I can't believe how few people remember it!

Did you also 'learn to fly' playing this? 😉

@@ryans5615 hehe, absolutely. I think I lost a lot of friends back in the late eighties due to this in-game element! 😁

@@Cyberrat629 lol, I never noticed that, but now you say it, the similarities are definitely there 👍

Oh, don't worry - both my Amiga and the disks I still own often don't load on the first take - it takes a long time to finally get a shot of them working (which is why I sometimes have to use footage from the same game on my Raspberry Pi!).

Yeah, those early Playstation games weren't known for their Oscar-worthy cut-scenes! 😆

I know - I just loved that gun which morphed into upgraded versions of itself 👍
