Game Covers - Kikstart 2 (Commodore 64)
Now this was a blinder of a game, and a real bargain for £2.99. I would've been happy to pay full price for this. 24 courses of motorcross/trials fun, based on the BBC television series Kick Start, but what made this stand out from the previous Kikstart game (besides the better graphics) was the inclusion of a powerful, and very easy to use course editor. I spent countless hours designing my own fiendish tracks and saving them to tape.
An amazing game, made by the same team that would like go on to make the Lotus series on the Commodore Amiga.
Ride your bike over the 24 all action courses in this new improved version of Kikstart. Devise your own mindbendingly tortuous test with the course designer or make things really easy - the choice is yours!

Game Covers - Space Hunter (Commodore 64)
A fun romp in space, featuring two styles of game play (3D space flight simulator, and 2D maze/map exploration). Well worth the £1.99 which I paid for this back in the day.
"The world is starving and the only food available is in space. You must search through 15 star systems to feed the world. This complex 3-D simulation takes you from rookie pilot to the hero of the world... If you're good enough!"

Game Covers - Strike (Commodore 64)
"Superbly playable, addictive and challenging. This game will have you hooked in minutes and playing for hours trying to achieve that elusive STRIKE".
More like...
"Completely unplayable, dull and impossible. This will have you bored in minutes and throwing your controller at the screen within hours before switching off the computer because you cant be arsed to achieve the elusive and near impossible STRIKE"
Oh well, what did I expect for £2.99

Game Covers - Zzzz (Commodore 64)
Not one of my favourite Mastertronic cheapos. Zzzz was released way back in 1985 and was a text based adventure game but had a unique icon system included.
You are trapped in your dream and to escape from this graphic, text and icon driven adventure you must find and cross the border or wander lost in the land of 'Zzzz' forever.
Yes... being lost in the land of 'Zzzz The Computer Game' is indeed a fate worse than death!

Mastertronic - What if? : Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
Mastertronic brings you "Call of Duty Advanced Warfare" on cassette for £1.99, only for Commodore, Amstrad, Spectrum and Atari - Available from all good newsagents, chemists and game shops!
If only..... :o)
Because I have WAY too much time on my hands, I thought I'd mess around with putting together some fake Mastertronic covers for modern computer games in an attempt to give them the retro 1980's 8-bit cassette look.
Remember... These are just for fun, and are obviously NOT available.
In case you are not aware (or can not remember), Mastertronic were big in the mid to late 1980s and were a major budget software label in the United Kingdom and produced a large number of cheapo games and re-releases for the Commodore/Spectrum/Amstrad/
Anyway, remember this is just a bit of fun, but what would modern games look like if Mastertronic still released games like the good ol' days? Well, here you can find out!
As always, click the images to enlarge.
