Inspired by Mentski - My retro Shooter

This week I have mainly playing Warblade, from here... http://www.warblade.as/index.asp for those of you who didn't have an Amiga, its a remake of Deluxe Galaga, by the guy who made Deluxe Galaga on the Amiga.





This game is mindless shooty fun, the only thing that marrs the whole thing is the bonus Asteroid levels, which boost your score monumentally so you can easily beat a previous high score and only do half the bloody levels! wheres the sense in that? I don't remember if this happened in the original, but as its by the same person I assume it does. He also made Deluxe pacman, which may or may not be great, I have no idea., At £10 this game is definitely worth buying! even if its 2 or 3 years old, or more! i think its still being bug fixed. Other good features are the high score merge facility, so i can add the high scores from work, to the ones at home, and presumably you can swap high scores with your mates, but as you read this, you probably don't have any.



I really enjoyed the original, i played it to death, I really miss my Competition pro Joystick i played it with tho! if you have one that plugs into the PC remember, no cheating! no Autofire! that's just WRONG!

It has great features like a memory mini game, and shop where you buy your addons, but remember not to die! because... you may as well just start again! There are some ropey graphics sure, and the robot "pick up" voice gets on your tits (You can change it to a nasally Australian sounding woman if you like) but its available for the mac too! so there you go, even Mac users actually have a game worth playing, the demo is available for free on the website, or you could look for the full game for free elsewhere on the internets, i would not condone that.

Addendum here: Okay, i have been moaned at for being TOO positive, this game doesn't work in Vista, so thats fucking annying, i went to play it at home, and its not worked!! so i give it 8/10 which is considerably less than Mentski gave that stupid Spore game!

Followup comment: I have got it to work in Vista now, under "compatability mode" make sure you have "Disable visual themes" and it will work! hurrah!

FINAL SCORE: 12/10 Sack me if you want, i like it.
