Stuff about Games I've Completed

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

I finished Klonoa today, I played it on the Switch as a part of the Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series collection.

Wonderful Dizzy

Wonderful Dizzy was released in 2020 for the ZX Spectrum. It is the eighth game in the Dizzy series, the first original one since Crystal Kingdom Dizzy in 1992. It’s based on the Wizard of Oz, and was made by The Oliver Twins.

TJ's Cavern Capers

TJ’s Cavern Capers is a ZX Spectrum game from the end of last year by Gaz Marshall, you can download it here. It’s dedicated to some YouTuber that I hadn’t heard of, I’ll go check some of his videos. It’s a simple single screen collection platformer like Manic Miner. There are 20 levels where you need to collect all of the flashing items and avoid the monsters. The controls are really responsive and you have a very high jump, it reminds me a little of Batman on the GameBoy. I thought it was really fun.

The Goblin

The Goblin is a new ZX Spectrum game by hicks, you can download it here. You play a little goblin jailer trying to return escaped demons to their cells. You don’t have any weapons though, and have to use the power of your belches after you’ve drunk some beer.

Dan Dare III: The Escape

Dan Dare III: The Escape is a 1990 ZX Spectrum game by Probe Software. It was programmed by Dave Perry, with art by Nick Bruty. They went on to make Cool Spot, Aladdin, and Earthworm Jim among other games at Virgin Games and Shiny Entertainment.

Megaman

I just beat the first Mega Man for the NES.

Phantasy Star

I just completed Phantasy Star, an RPG by Sega for the Master System released in 1988. It has a bright and colourful sci-fi setting, blue skies, space ports, and laser swords.

Axiom Verge

I don’t know what’s going on in Axiom Verge yet, but there’s some fantastic horror sci-fi pixel art.
