Na then! You all know this game from the Inept Review, but for added psychedelia, I recommend Stick-of-Rock-tivisions TV Boy version replete with exotically-coloured sky. Ahm geddin the munchies just watchin! Hee hee...
Side note: recording to VHS then DVD is a pain in the backside. Only do it if you are a hopelessly hardcore retroist like me.
Oh, go on then:

Three years ago, when Harry Yack completed a 3-hour marathon playthrough of the Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets, he promised to upload a highlights version just in case you had a train to catch in precisely 50 minutes. So finally, here it is, in glorious 360p! Yeah, my previous computer was incapable of handling large files and I didnt want to be splitting the thing into 5,000 parts.
Anyway, highlights.

AKA Butchering the Classics #427.
High Rise picks up from where Harrier Attack leaves off as yet more innocent civilians are subject to horrific peacetime treatment. Good job its only a game, eh?
Surely everyone knows this? Its the one where you circle a cluster of skyscrapers in a helicopter, destroying sections of them one bomb at a time. Its actually quite enjoyable, but as usual, Harry Yack suffers from a bout of performance anxiety and fails to portray the game to its fullest extent. Ah well, I never said this is a walkthrough. ;)
Predates the infamous bootlegged City Bomber by 2 years. :P

Ready for some traditional Yack hot air and hyperbole? Good, because Bog Standard Reviews is back. Thank goodness for the Easter Weekend, eh?
Music is from the arcade version, because the tone deaf fools forgot to put background tunes in the CPC version!")

Sorry about all the tuts - it is the product of a perpetually dry mouth and an insistence on shunning the word err.
Warning: Spoilers abound, since this *is* a playthrough... :P
It seems these Selfie streams are becoming slightly more well-known in the general indiesphere - certainly, at least one message references a previous livestream. Good for Harry.

If Centipods was the budget brand version of Centipede, then this is surely the free sample edition of Pac-Man. Roland Waddilove actually coded a few half-decent BASIC games in the mid-80s, but I really dont think this is one of them.
The main problem here is that it is not entirely clear how, or if you even can, defeat the enemy faces (henceforth referred to as ghosts for obvious reasons). Without a method to effectively extinguish them, it is rather hard to evade the clutches (mouth?) of three frowny faces with simple yet deadly BASIC AI.
Weirdly, in a test recording for this, I did actually manage to defeat two of the three ghosts so either it *is* possible or I glitched out the game. I have not invested a seconds worth of play in the game since I made this video so I am unable to confirm or deny this with any certainty.
Want a good Pac-Man game for the Amstrad? Well, you cant get much better than Pac-Man itself, I guess:
