Star Trek (Dragon 32 Cassette 50 Game 6 - 1983 & 1984 versions) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2018-02-27 | Here's some more Star Trek for your eyes, courtesy of the Dragon 32 version of Cassette 50. There's 2 different versions and, true to form, I have absolutely no idea what is going on in either of them.See the Amstrad version here: youtube.com/watch?v=5dyW46tEiP0See the Commodore 64 version here: youtube.com/watch?v=t_GGQPthclMSee the ZX Spectrum version here: youtube.com/watch?v=zuZ55hjfH0cSee the Atrai 8-bit version: youtube.com/watch?v=i9akWl03WMQSee the Vic-20 version: youtube.com/watch?v=L1lBIQCf4kMSee the ZX81 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=pcNbgVJfBc8Music by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Plasma Bolt (Dragon 32 Cassette 50 Game 5 - 1983 and 1984 versions) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-11-19 | This game is so good* it will make you shoot your (plasma) bolt.Bucking the trend we've had thus far with the Dragon 32 Cassette 50 (though, to be fair, we are only on Game 5) the 1983 version is better than the 'enhanced' 1984 version.*It's not good. It's shit.See the Commodore 64 version: youtube.com/watch?v=ELthmX6Rj7ISee the Atari 8-bit version: youtube.com/watch?v=2CFzO_CietoSee the Vic-20 version: youtube.com/watch?v=tFyHpJ51rhoSee the ZX81 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=_4GMp-S9uTwMusic by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Lunar Lander (Dragon 32 Cassette 50 Game 4) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-11-18 | Here's my hot-take for you - if you're not an amazing space ship pilot, don't try and land on a dangerous planet, especially when flying something that takes "a little time to react to the engines" (i.e. a really fucking long time to react to the engines, so much so that you're dead before you know it).See the Commodore 64 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=5-QoiPGpQnISee the Amstrad version: youtube.com/watch?v=I-kMkWl6D_ISee the Atari 8-bit version: youtube.com/watch?v=aQq1MVc1KXcSee the Acorn Electron Version: youtube.com/watch?v=Ig6UxNg0WOkSee the ZX Spectrum version: youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8jaZzj2CwSee the Vic-20 version: youtube.com/watch?v=2U3CDJtt9NgSee the ZX81 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=jlS3fr3t4FgMusic by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Space Mission (Dragon 32 Cassette 50 Game 3 - 1983 & 1984 versions) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-06-07 | There's a 1983 an a 1984 version of this game, and they're a vastly different. The 1983 version - well, it's just shit. Plus ça change.But the 1984 version - well, I can't think of many multi-screen Cassette 50 games on any of the formats. So it gets bonus points or that, and for its big colourful graphics. It's still shit, mind you.See the Amstrad version of Space Mission: youtube.com/watch?v=aP2Iq8zRfMMSee the Atari 8-bit version: youtube.com/watch?v=oU1owWNwlzUSee the Commodore 64 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=7jtXQMN_bkESee the ZX81 version here: youtube.com/watch?v=eODGGwkFDasSee the ZX Spectrum version here: youtu.be/On5fffR5gRsSee the Acorn Electron version here: youtube.com/watch?v=j-drTQvR0p8Music by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Galactic Attack (Dragon 32 Cassette 50 Game 2 - 1983 & 1984 versions) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-05-17 | Galactic Attack (in the 1984 version at least) gives us the answer to the question "How Many Martians landing on earth would it take for the planet to be colonised?". The answer is 10. Ten. Just Ten.See the C64 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=JXsE-eKrUDASee the Atari 8-bit version: youtube.com/watch?v=fuRV7R3y4DsSee the Acorn Electron Version: youtube.com/watch?v=EgUUBe_7i4MMusic by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Maze Eater (Dragon 32 Cassette 50 Game 1) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-05-15 | The first game on a Cassette 50 - unless you're the Hipster that is the ZX Spectrum - is always Maze Eater...See the Amstrad version here: youtube.com/watch?v=XwusFyx8UjsSee the Atari 8-bit version here: youtube.com/watch?v=MYP7eQWp8YMSee the Acorn Electron Version here: youtube.com/watch?v=iMcqO8VjY_0See the C64 version here: youtube.com/watch?v=sDr9hxeE21gSee the ZX Spectrum version here: youtube.com/watch?v=aoFEZOyDas8See the Vic-20 version here: youtube.com/watch?v=piLRKgxrwjwSee the ZX81 Version here: youtube.com/watch?v=LmnsYEaNTUIAlso similar to Ghosts on the Commodore 64 Cassette 50: youtube.com/watch?v=2aGlAL-p0VoAnd this is a particularly shit version of it.Music by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com

The Force (Atari 8-bit Cassette 50 Game 49) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-04-25 | So there's this Force Field, right, and it's coming right towards you, and if you don't step to the left or the right at the correct moment, then you'll be a dead. A Dead. Why this has to be, I can't tell you.

High Rise (Atari 8-bit Cassette 50 Game 48) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-04-20 | When someone is throwing themselves I'm pretty sure that it's standard practice to just send one person with a flimsy blanket to catch them.See the Commodore 64 version of High Rise: youtube.com/watch?v=O0Zymisi76ESee the Amstrad version of High Rise: youtube.com/watch?v=lraLdkvBD9sSee the Acorn Electron version of High Rise: youtube.com/watch?v=OXLu3xW9ot0See the ZX81 version of High Rise: youtube.com/watch?v=TyqlhCHpEjMMusic by Flange Circus: hrttps://flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Jetmobile (Atari 8-bit Cassette 50 Game 47) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-04-18 | Two things:1. It says "Don't crash into the white barrier", then promptly serves up a purple barrier instead. Oh Cassette 50, you big Joker you.2. Jet Mobile? Looks more like some sort of Alien. Or one of those crappy three wheeled cars. Do they still make three wheeled cars? I hope so.See the ZX Spectrum version of Jetmobile: youtube.com/watch?v=3PQ5TauYTK8See the Vic-20 version of Jet Mobile: youtube.com/watch?v=In-EDrjfTOASee the Commodore 64 version of Jetmobile: youtube.com/watch?v=0OdV1EdcBNsSee the ZX81 version of Jetmobile: youtube.com/watch?v=jTv4eUyq08sAlso very similar to Intruder on the Vic-20 Cassette 50: youtube.com/watch?v=cq-8WgVcdfgMusic by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Parachute (Atari 8-bit Cassette 50 Game 46) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-04-12 | This is classic Cassette 50:- The Psychedelic rotation of colours that they describe as "Fog"- The breaking of my legs should I fail to land on a very, very, VERY small part of the screen- The ERROR 3 AT LINE 2600 message is the best part of the game.See the Commodore 64 version: youtube.com/watch?v=WqdFiiyONysSee the Acorn Electron version of Parachute: youtube.com/watch?v=Zjdnxa0vojgMusic by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
Tanker (Atari 8-bit Cassette 50 Game 45) I only did it for the Calculator Watch 2017-04-11 | Wind is not your friend. Wind is your enemy. Especially when you're trying to navigate a Tanker down a canal, and said Tanker seems to be made of paper. What cargo are you supposed to be transporting? Your boat hardly seems practical.See the Commodore 64 version of Tanker (Known as Tanker Rescue): youtube.com/watch?v=RPtDQ38nLKgSee the Acorn Electron version of Tanker: youtube.com/watch?v=IBnZBlNwAqQSee the ZX81 version of Tanker: youtube.com/watch?v=8g1plw8CAOkMusic by Flange Circus: flangecircus.bandcamp.com
