Game Covers - Super Cycle (Commodore 64)

Super Cycle.  Hang on.  If you can.

You're sitting on 750 cc's of screaming machine, chrome and pistons ready for the course.  It's you and your cycle against the road, the curves, the other motorcycles and the clock.  Hot rubber on hot streets as you scream to victory.

Racing was never so fast and furious.

It takes split second timing.  You must know when to cut, when to speed up, when to brake.  Hesitate, and there's no way you'll win.  Act rashly, and you crash.

You race through progressively harder courses.  Finish successfully, and you get to try the next one.  But don't push your machine too far.  Keep your eye on the instruments.  Push it to the limit, and you win.  Push it over, and you crash.

• Race against Other Motorcycles, through Countryside that Changes from Course to Course.
• Watch Realistic Instruments - Tachometer, Speedometer.
• Lean into the Turns, Scream Out into the Lead.
• One Player.

Next Gen Starts Here

Next Gen starts here.  It's a shame I've got to wait a week until I can play the bloody thing!  Where's the logic in releasing a game the week before the actual console to play it on. 

Oh well, only another week until I get my PS5!! Woohoo

Gaming Memories - December 1989

Looking back at what I was reading and playing exactly 30 years ago this month, December 1989 was a good year for racing games on the Commodore 64. My Amiga owning friends might have had the eagerly awaited home version of Hard Drivin', but I had the Commodore 64 versions of Turbo Outrun and Stunt Car Racer, both of which scored higher than their Amiga counterparts between both Zzap and Commodore User reviews.

It was however around this time when I decided to ditch Commodore User in favour of the more C64 friendly Zzap 64/Amiga as my primary source of C64 news and goodness since Commodore User was aiming more for the Amiga market. Shame on them, as the C64 still had plenty of life left in it to last a few more years.

Game Covers - Crazy Comets (Commodore 64)

The Universe is out of control, contracting into chaos.  Matter becomes energy in a cataclysmic chain reaction of the disorder.  Comets of fire cascade through the heavens - messengers of imminent doom.

Your mission: to restore order to the Universe by destroying chaos wherever it appears.

Your chances of survival: NIL.

...  and you thought the Apocalypse was gonna be bad!!!!
