Planet Bob - Legendary Graftgold

[RSS Bot]

Hi there!

 

Spending dozens of hours playing Uridium on my C64 DTV lately (Made it to level 12 in my best game so far ) and being a lifelong worshipper of Paradroid / Paradroid 90, I thought I should try and see most other Graftgold games as well.

I know I played some, but missed a lot of others, so it's time to revisit old classics and maybe even find a new love or two

 

First, I did some research. Graftgolds carreer was spawning some 15 years, from 1983-1998, so there's lots of games they made. After some consideration, I decided to ignore the early Spectrum stuff, as well as their late Playstation efforts. I also decided it doesn't make sense to consider ports. Graftgold did a *perfect* job on converting Rainbow Islands to C64/Amiga and other systems for example, but no matter how you put it, it's a Taito game. So what remains is mostly C64 and Amiga games, plus two (oddball? We'll see...) SMS games.

 

Here's the list of titles I plan to check out / revisit the next months (in good old Chronogaming Fashion ):
