This and Bad Street Brawler were 2 of my favotite non-NES games. Back in the 80s Nintendo was life. It didn't amtter what game you played on what sytem(or arcade for that matter), you were "playing Nintendo". Thanks for the flashback! :)Jasonhttp://www.jasonvorhees.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512577482601859882.post-19597020067155649952007-09-24T01:42:00.000-07:002007-09-24T01:42:00.000-07:00Yeah, it was great that the two major mags had goo...Yeah, it was great that the two major mags had good covertapes back then. It was getting well-nigh impossible obtaining C64 games in the shops (hell, it was getting difficult even getting pirated games). So for CF and Zzap to feature games like Lords of Midnight and Uridium in the covertapes was just great.<BR/><BR/>I think that with Trenton Webb as editor Commodore Format took a turn for the worse though. It was at it's best with Steve Jarrat, while Colin Campbell gave it more pages and stuff.<BR/><BR/>James Leach was a particularly crap reviewer.Jim Sliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325962115410722474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512577482601859882.post-74071231489020992722007-09-23T15:30:00.000-07:002007-09-23T15:30:00.000-07:00An interesting covertape.

Sphinx Jinx was also known as Total Eclipse 2, and had previously only been available to members of The Home Computer Club (a mail-order company that worked in the same way as a book club). And Fast was a reader/homebrew game which was good fun in two player mode.Mermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426376060858050063noreply@blogger.com
