A well recieved platformer by Core Design. Visually pleasing it's kind of a puzzle platformer where our hero Bubba solves situations and battles aliens with his trusty stick "Stix".
I find this game overall ok. But the thing that really shines is the music, in my humble opinion. A funky, groovy tune by Martin Iveson. He has created a lot of great music on the Amiga through the years and Bubba 'n' Stix is no exception. Just listen to that drum fill around the 0:52 mark. Beautiful!

#shorts #commodorememorylane #zakmckracken #lucasfilmgames #pointandclickgames #papercraftRestoring shoddy game box (or at least trying!)BlueYakk2024-11-15 | Zak McKracken was the first point and click game I ever played. As a child I spent A LOT of time trying to complete it while, more or less, simultaneously learning English.
I played a cracked copy back then... The game is now waaaay out of my budget and I had come to terms with never owning an original copy. But I got lucky, I found a *really* cheap offer online with an obvious drawback: The box was in really bad shape.
Following some tips and tricks from @TheRetroCollective about restoring shoddy game boxes, I gave it a shot. Watch that video here: youtube.com/watch?v=DcU_Ug2j34w&t=122s
I'm not into paper craft, like at all. The conclusion here is that if I can get an acceptable result - anyone can! =)
What do you think? Is the result acceptable?

Some backstory: You might already know I'm a massive Rob Hubbard fan. Lovely tunes, filled to the brim with nostalgia and childhood gaming memories... The Grand Wizard of SID music.
So, when this book was announced, I knew I had to get it. But... Realising the cost, including shipping and import charges, I made the hard decision to let it go. Not an easy one but hey, that's life sometimes.
But I got a friend - a dear friend who shares my interest in 8-bit shenanigans. He presented a gift to me yesterday. Not only he sneakily bought the book upon hearing me stating it's too expensive, he also started another mission: Pulling strings, spamming e-mails to convince Chris Abbott or Chris Wilkins to get it signed with a personal touch at Zzap Live 😃 And oh my lord, they all pulled through! This shows how much friends matter. And it shows how friendly our retro gaming community is, when a stranger from Sweden can reach out and ask "Hey, my friend is a huge fan, could you please...?"
Today I'm filled with gratitude. And full of "do not disturb" - I got a book to read!

Being a fan of the old 8-bit Bruce Lee game (major childhood memory!) I really enjoyed this one. I searched Youtube for the location of the hidden scroll but couldn't find any videos of it. So when I stumbled across the location last time I played, I figured I could share it.
TIGER CLAW was initially released as an entry in the 2014 RGCD 16K C64 Game Development Competition (where it placed 2nd out of 17 entries). Taking player feedback into consideration, the game was both further expanded and refined for the 64KB final, including the addition of extra rooms, foes and features, an arcade-style training mode and a 2-4 player deathmatch arena!
In December 2018, a new version of TIGER CLAW was made available for Windows, MacOS, Linux and the Commodore Amiga (1MB RAM), both in digital format and as a physical release.

Original tunes written by Tatsuya Uemura and I urge you to listen to them all if you are into this kind of music. The arcade utilises the YM3812 OPL2 audio chip and Tatsuya Uemura sure knew how to use it! It does sound quite nice on the SID chip as well, in my humble opinion.
