Never heard of this one, that music is pretty grating that’s for sure.. maybe it’s because I have a headache today.

That said, the gameplay looks fun, would be an interesting one to play for a high score battle.

Yeah, I think this is a good candidate for high score battle. The bonus screen for sure as shooting a he UFOs at different altitudes provides different rewards.

This week on Battle of he Ports, a game hat was completely facelifted for the japanese market. This is Magical Hoppers, better known as Pandemonium!

A game that started life on computers but then came to consoles a year later. Vastly superior but still a very average game.

Do you like Zombies ate my Neighbour? Or overhead shooters in general?

If so, this new game from Mega Cats Studios could be for you.

I get that this game certainly didn’t age well, but I really did enjoy it a lot back in the amiga days. The console ports look a lot better for sure.

I think the game has potential but it’s certainly not something I can get in to.

I’ve seen mention on the net that this is the best game on the Amiga. That it most definitely isn’t, but is it actually any good?
