Submitted by Gaming Briefs and Nostalgia Bits
And now, here’s the sequel to Aliens of Gold, with Blake going on another mission to defeat Dr. Goldfire, who’s reamassed his forces of evil, and is continuing with his plot for global/galactic conquest. I’m not sure if this is formatted the same way as the first game, so [...]

Let’s travel into The Next Space!
Submitted by Gaming Briefs and Nostalgia Bits
In six recordings:
A decent shoot-em-up in outer space that features ideas reminiscent of same company’s Alpha Mission games. When you bust open the special icon containers, you can then fire on the icons to switch them to a different letter reading. Pretty inventive and entertaining.
By the way, I wouldn’t [...]

Danger Freak filming
Submitted by Gaming Briefs and Nostalgia Bits
I just wish the intro weren’t left to run as long as 3 minutes, but after that, we get to the main point:
It’s a stunt-racing game with motorcycles and speed boats. It’s really funny how the Yellow Submarine from the Beatles song turns up!
