"Out with the old and in with the new..." Happy New Year
Well, it's that time of year again when we kiss goodbye to one year, and move on to a new one. 2017 has been a pretty good year to be honest, so I hope we get a repeat with 2018.
So, here I am now in my 41st year on the planet Earth, wishing you all a very happy New Year

Mastertronic - What if? : Call of Duty WW2
Mastertronic brings you "Call of Duty WW2" 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 real and NOT available, (although I'd love to see an 8-bit version with blocky graphics and cool chip-music).
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/Atari 8-bit computers (and some 16-bit too) - most at a pocket-money-friendly £1.99!
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.
