 By Pakete Soft     Remake en modo 0 del mítico juego creado por Dinamic Phantomas es uno de los videojuegos más icónicos de Dinamic y desarrollado por el castellonense Enric Cervera.  El juego podía presumir de una ingente cantidad de plataformas y de ser publicado en Inglaterra por Codemasters, con el título de Vampire , cambiando la temática original pero conservando su esencia.  La dificultad de la que hacia gala era muy a lta , y es que para completar las 67 estancias solo disponíamos de una "escasa" barra de energia y nuestra, más que deseada, habilidad. No obstante, no llegaba al nivel de Game Over o el mítico Abu Simbel. Vídeo:   En este remake para Amstrad CPC, la jugabilidad se ha reajustado, con control de salto, gráficos rediseñados a todo color, nuevas músicas y una lucha final contra Drácula .  Versión en cinta disponible en la web de Matra: Phantomas 2.0 en cinta Código fuente en GitHub: https://github.com/santiontanon/phantomas20c...

 By ARC8     Title: PAC-01 Genre: Arcade Author: ARC8 ROM size: 32KB Registered: 20210828 A certain round yellow guy, who’s probably the most iconic video game character ever, makes his entrance in ARC8’s recent MSX game called “ PAC-01 ”. That’s right, it is Pac-Man himself that makes waves in the world’s fastest dot eating game.     Combine Pac-Man with relentless vertical scrolling, and you get an interesting game concept. In PAC-01, your playfield scrolls from bottom to top, as pills are scattered around to be eaten. However, pills aren’t the sole item on the menu. The point of PAC-01 is that you advance a level when you had all six of the the spooky baddies for lunch – or dinner, whatever you prefer. Also, as is only befitting in a Pac-Man themed game, pieces of fruit will appear occasionally to serve as a refreshing snack which will increase your score.     PAC-01 features a one and two player mode, as well as a “Fast Game” mode. Wher...
