Dizzy: The Other Side

SUMMARY
This is a lovely game that all Dizzy fans (and arcade fans) will love. The story is well written, and you can play the game 3 different ways. It is fun to play, and simple to control. All the characters you know and love are here, as well as some new ones. The graphics are classic 'Dizzy' style, and are lovely to see. I enjoyed solving all the puzzles, as they were quite challenging at times. The 'Save' feature is very handy for saving your progress. It means you do not have to start back at the beginning each time.

Push-Push penguin remake

Push-Push Penguin is a remake of Sega's original 1982 arcade game Pengo, at Black Cat we decided to remake Pengo as our entry into the Retro Remakes competition. We chose Pengo because we felt it was the perfect game to update and expand, adding power-ups, a combo system and a more expansive menagerie of bad guys has brought Sega's original concept alive again. We hope youenjoy playing Push-Push Penguin as much as we enjoyed making it.

Ghostbusters ( final version )

While the game is interesting in this concept, it does get repetitive after awhile. Just the amount of driving and capturing ghosts and having to go back to your HQ to empty your traps of the ghost, is tedious. Keep in mind this game is a remake and much of these elements were present in the first game, so in that case it at least kept the spirit of the original still alive with this creation.

Joust 3 - Revenge of the Lava Troll


joust 3 - Revenge of the Lava Troll is another brilliant remake by Jph, featuring seven stages worth of action as you battle in the air against enemy knights, bats and even pterodactyls. Hold the K or up arrow key to take flight, and press the J key to fire a stunner arrow. Replenish your supply of arrows by collecting golden eggs.

Touch the Tikki statue once the area is clear in order to advance. A handy save feature can be activated by pressing the F5 key, while quick load is possible using the F8 key.

{WIP} Rick dangerous 2

Rox271 said:
Changes
1. Added a version # on front screen
2. Moved to FMOD 3.7.5.0 which is the last of the 3.xxxx serie
3. Fixed a potential issue with a FMOD null pointer to prevent a crash if FMOD doesn't init properly (but there would be no sound anyway)
4. Added a cool sparkle effect on laser shots
5. 7-Zip now used to pack releases till end of project (popular demand...)

Status
Score not recorded in the Hall Of Fame.
The program doesn't seem to run on all PCs.
May crash at startup (strange FMOD issue related to OGG. Just re-run the game).

Release notes
I wish I could fix crash issues more efficiently but unfortunately I can only guess since I do not experience any crash on my side. Change #3 is a try, hope it will help.

{WIP} Ruff 'n Tumble Remake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxGsy0mI9q8&

Back in 1994, there had been a great deal of classic Amiga games which successfully combined the casual platformer with the action of a shoot 'em up. So when Ruff 'n Tumble came out in this year, its no suprise that it did'nt turn a huge amount of heads. Although for the people that it did decide to buy this game, they were to be rewarded with one of the finest games released for the Amiga.
