task of the player is to free them. Furthermore the building needs to be

activating a detonator on each floor. Here it is advisable to bring the
comrades to safety beforehand. For this you need to escort them to the
exit on the first floor. The elevators between the floors can only be
used with the help of a keycard that you find on each of the single
floors.

Ricki Sickenger from Badger Punch Games
recently announced on Twitter that their latest Amiga game is very
close to being released. If you’re not familiar with Badger Punch Games,
they are responsible for the excellent Rogue64 on the Commodore 64, and the new enhanced Amiga version is looking absolutely gorgeous!
Roguecraft
is a modern turn-based rogue-like focused on simplicity and fun. It is a
dungeon crawler where each play-through is a unique experience. As you

challenges. You only have one life, so you have to be careful, but if
you reach the end there are wonderful rewards to be gathered! Roguecraft
is currently under development for the Commodore Amiga, with other
platforms to follow.
C64 group Onslaught have released an English translation of the 1992 Commodore 64 game Soul Crystal. As well as the English translation, they’ve also released an EasyFlash version and also the German version. Check out the links below to grab the download.
Your
name is Dave, and these are your first holidays you’re spending alone,
without your parents. You’re resting in a hotel near a mysterious loch
in Scotland. You go swimming in the lake and dive through a waterfall –
on the other side of it, you’re finding yourself in a strange
fantasy-like world.
The game is a mixture of a graphical and
text-adventure. All actions can be performed by typing or by clicking on
the icons. The story takes some wild and unexpected turns and
encourages you to keep playing. A relatively hassle-free user interface
makes it easy to get started. The graphics are quite good for the 64 and
the background music is also quite audible. And the text, which comes
in large quantities and is not always completely logical, is easier to
read than the Amiga version. Friends of (now rare) text adventures will
still enjoy Soul Crystal.

News Jotd was working on Super Bagman, an Arcade to Amiga conversion.
We have some great News for you today, the game has been released and
you can download it here: SuperBagman_ADF.zip.
Super
Bagman, a Labyrinth/Maze Arcade game from 1984 by Stern Electronics.
Your character is a robber. Run around a mine collecting moneybags and
depositing them in a wheelbarrow at the top of the screen. Climb ladders
and ride elevators to avoid two angry miners. Grab pickaxes and other
objects to temporarily stun your pursuers.
Here’s what Jotd had to say. Game
is pretty complete by now with music by no9 (great conversions as
always!) and a “very easy” mode which is default and allows the game to
be playable. Arcade mode is also available, along with a lot of trainer
options. Source: eab.abime.net
Frankly, dear friends, I am unsure as to why the only discernible audio in the Commodore
64 version of Ocean’s “Hunchback” is the traditional 100+ year old ditty “The
Teddy Bear’s Picnic”. Answers on a pike to: ouch, that’s my arse.
Hunchback then, at first glance, could almost (colour clash n00bs) be mistaken for a
Spectrum game, however, the game itself is a joy to play and as simple as a flat
cheese sandwich. You play Hunchback or Quasimodo from the literary pen of
Victor Hugo, looking to emancipate your love, Esmerelda from the top of Notre
Dame. Simple.
Well – not so, as you have to scale the merlons and run a gauntlet of agility, timing and
youthfulness, all of which I fail in. Reminiscent of our friend from Pitfall,
the game mechanics are straightforward, easy to pick up and a pleasure to
enact. However – a walk in the park, it is not.
One of the most fun aspects of the game, as a whole, is that despite the clear and present
simplicity of the entire premise, you remain steadfastly rubbish at it. Rather
than frustrate you, this elicits continual glee from your stupid little
headbox. It is genuinely fun to play, even, on the screens that have barely any
adversaries, or obstacles at all. A feat of hook-ability, if I ever saw one.
For me personally, the nostalgia factor with Hunchback is so strong, I may well be verging on the Mega
Bias, however, I will stick to my came to conclusion wot I did come to which is
that Hunchback (with the benefit of Instaload) is a cracking game to fire up
and have a 20 minutes blast at.
If you can get much further than level 8 – you’re doing very, very well.
It is clearly nothing complicated, but its worth its weight in bells.
