610th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Atari Games Publisher: Atari Games While earlier we played Portal 2 for its appearance in Lego Dimensions, Super Sprint instead appears in the game as a not-really-cameo. Nevertheless, I’ve probably played the game more that way than I ever would have otherwise. […]

592nd played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Sega AM 2 Publisher: Sega Next, we have an older driving game. Out Run sets you off on a trip around a summery city area. You go on a drive and go fast. Why does that sound familiar? Maybe thanks to OutRun […]
499th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Taito Publisher: Taito Arkanoid! A game I’ve been looking forward to, as I remember playing it when I was younger (using cheats to advance a bit further than I could reach on my own – I was an impatient kid). Breakout inspired, […]

462nd played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami With some games, it feels like there is not much we can add as an introduction. Salamander looks like one of those shoot ’em ups we’ve seen plenty of – horizontal scrolling, you control a ship that […]

374th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Wow, it’s been a while since we last played a Legend of Zelda game – nearly 300 games ago, in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords of Adventure. This is some combination of wanting to keep the number okay […]
337th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Taito Publisher: Taito A while ago we covered Puzzle Bobble after a trip to Brighton in order to find the elusive game Final Furlong. The fact that we found it in some rather beaten up arcade on the seafront is pretty miraculous. […]

306th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Geoff Crammond Publisher: Firebird The book describes this game as “chess with added paranoia”. To be honest, I’ve never heard of this game before the blog and keep forgetting about it afterwards. It’s vague enough that today, we have no clue what […]

302nd played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo It seems ages since we last played a Mario game, with our limitations on the previous hundred, and our reluctance to do so after having played a lot of them in a short go while borrowing games. It has […]
275th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Atari Games Publisher: Atari Games Right, let’s get this straight. Yeah, the game is officially called 720ยฐ. We believe 720 or 720 Degrees are also acceptable. We’ll call it that. Laziness! We recently got a copy of Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play, […]
