Planet Bob - Graftgold C64 Summary

[RSS Bot]

Hi there!

 

So, now that I'm done with the C64 titles from Graftgold, I thought I should summarize my journey a bit.

 

First I should mention that I reviewed only ~ half of the C64 titles Graftgold made. The ones skipped and skipping reasons follow now:

 

Morpheus / Bushido

- You can tell after 10 seconds that they suck. No need to waste time.

Super Off Road / Rainbow Islands

- "Just" Arcade ports, no Graftgold originals

Head the Ball

- "Just" a port of a Spectrum title, no Graftgold original

3D Luna Attack

- Yet another Spectrum port. Didn't look interesting at all.

Orion

- A budget release.

 

Ok, and here's some ratings for the one's I reviewed, using my patented "Binary Rating System" BRS :

 

Gribbly's Day Out

Paradroid

Uridium

Alleykat

Ranarama

Magnetron

Intensity

Soldier of Fortune

 

Now, after some more research, I decided to leave the strict chronogaming path, but rather do all Sega Master System games from Graftgold in the next part of the series.

I'll also break with the no-ports rule here.

 

Why?

 

Well, for one am I the one to set up rules I'm following here, so I can break them whenever I want and then, I recently started seriously collecting SMS games, so the more titles I check out on emulation first, the less stinkers I'm wasting money on later

 

So this series will continue with those SMS titles:

 

- Global Gladiators

- Super Off Road

- Superman

- Ottifants

- Fire and Ice

 

(While I'm at it, I'll also have a look at the Genesis version of Ottifants)

 

After this short console intermezzo, the chronoprocess will continue as we close this series with the Amiga titles.

 

Greetings,

Manuel
