Henry's House for the Atari 8-bit family

Order: Reorder
Duration: 3:44
Updated: 15 Aug 2013

Came also out for: Commodore 64 Game description: In this platformer, the player has to guide Henry through the numerous rooms of his house. Each room is a screen-sized level filled with deadly household-items such as toothbrushes, teapots, flying toast or coffee machines. Touching one of these objects or falling from too high kills Henry. The goal of each room is to reach the exit, however, before the exit opens up, Henry has to collect a key and all items that are spread throughout the level. In order for a key to appear, Henry usually has to collect a special item that sometimes adds more obstacles to a room. What I think: Amazing game...it is quite challenging and also quite satisfying if you win a level. While I am speaking of levels, I also should mention the levels offer quite a lot of variety and look also quite good, too. With all that being said, I think "Henry's House" is easily one of the best Atari 8-bit games out there.

Updated: 02 Sep 2013

Came also out for: Amstrad CPC Atari 8-bit Atari ST Commodore 64 DOS MSX PC Booter Wii VC ZX Spectrum Game description: The objective of World Karate Championship is to get the highest possible dan (karate grade, determined by belt colour) and become the world champion - and of course, to get the highest score. Karate fighters compete against each other on side-view screens, the scenery representing real world locations (New York, Egypt, Japan, etc.). In between the fighting stages, there are short action sequences, during which the player can gather bonus points. These include deflecting bouncing balls, breaking wooden planks, and others. What I think: Really fun fighting game and slightly better than the Apple II version, but still not as good as the C64 version.

Koronis Rift for the Atari 8-bit family

Order: Reorder
Duration: 9:01
Updated: 13 Oct 2013

Came also out for: Amstrad CPC Apple II Commodore 64 MSX TRS-80 CoCo ZX Spectrum Game description: You play as a techno scavenger in the year 2049, exploring the Koronis Rift, in one of Lucasfilms earliest games. The Ancients abandoned the planet, leaving behind many different artifacts and ships, which you can loot. Send your droid to retrieve modules and try to figure out what the ancient technology is for. It could be batteries, shields or even weapons, to help you fight the trigger-happy saucers that want you dead. The game uses fractal graphics, the terrain is vast and detailed, and the story behind it is quite complex, considering the type of game. What I think: Unique game and really smooth framerate for such a rather early 3D game (although 1985 might be not that early anymore for 3D games...). The gameplay itself isn't bad either, but it is certainly not for everyone.

What I think: Nice game and easier than Oil's Well, but rolling the tongue back isn't easy, as you have to rill it pixel for pixel.

Green Beret for the Atari 8-bit family

Order: Reorder
Duration: 1:46
Updated: 05 Aug 2013

Came also out for: Amstrad CPC BBC Micro Commodore 16, Plus/4 Commodore 64 DOS MSX NES Thomson TO Xbox 360 ZX Spectrum Game description: The player takes on the role of a United States special operations soldier infiltrating an enemy military base in order to save several POW's from being executed by firing squad. There are four stages: a Marshalling Area, a Harbor, an Air Base and a Siberian Camp. The omnipresent knife can be supplemented with captured arms. By killing certain enemy soldiers, the player can obtain a three-shot flamethrower, a four-shot RPG, or a three-pack of hand grenades. At the end of each stage, the player will face a unique group of enemies specific to that stage: Stage 1 ends with a truckload of running and jump kicking soldiers, Stage 2 with a pack of fierce dogs, Stage 3 with three shooting autogyros and Stage 4 with a skillful multi-shot flamethrower operator. When the mission is accomplished the four rescued POWs salute and the player restarts the game from the first stage on the next difficulty level. While the player can remain still in one area and rack up points, if he takes too long to proceed, the game will start sending out tougher enemies and eventually a stealth-like bomber will appear to take out the player. There's also an invisible time limit that will kill off the player if he takes too long to complete the stage. What I think: While not completely horrible, it is ... a REALLY lousy game nonetheless. Yes, it is playable...well, somewhat...to a certain degree, but I it feels sooooooo unfinished. Not only the textures, but also you can't climb up ladders and where is the truck that drops off the hostile soldiers at the end? Oh and you have to be really close to hit the enemies, unless you lie on the ground (which looks REALLY hilarious) and sometimes the knife won't hit. At least on one enemy the knife will miss. PLEASE go play the C64 version instead...

Hot Blocks for the Atari 8-bit family

Order: Reorder
Duration: 3:21
Updated: 21 Aug 2013

Came also out for: --- Game description: Hot Blocks is a clone of Tetris. However, unlike in Tetris you don't automatically from one level to the next after you have reached a certain amount of points, instead you choose a level in the menu and you are going to play this level only. What I think: I have played many Tetris clones for the Atari 8-bit family and none were as bad as this one...or at least not that I remember. Anyways, Hot Blocks suffers from framerate drops, delayed controls\rotating and you can not see which block comes next.
