8Bit Killer (Locomalito) Imagine a parallel universe where Konami and Capcom joined forces to create a FPS heavily influenced by Contra and Megaman, shoehorning the engine and technology from Wolfenstein 3D into the NES. That pretty much sums up in one sentence what 8Bit Killer is all about... |

Animal Party (Caillahuz) Somehow I don't think that the titular animals are having much party-fun in this Whac-a-Mole variant for the Atari 8-Bit. And to be honest, neither are we. |

Bob Fossil's Sudokuniverse (Reservoir Gods) An Atari ST Sudoku game featuring the surreal cast from The Mighty Boosh? It can mean only one thing - the Gods are back! Despite being coded in STOS, Reservoir Gods' pixel artist SH3's debut game is more that worthy of using the old group handle. |

Crocodingus In Cube Island (MadPxl) It's not often that we review NDS homebrew games, mainly because the majority of them are a bit rubbish. However, one look at the yummy screenshots for Crocodingus was enough to get our retro-senses excited - but underneath the highly polished and professional presentation, is the game any good? |

Destructivator (Pug Fugly Games) Day-glo jumpsuits, 80's sci-fi, cyborgs with huge whammo-guns and frantic-paced platform jumping action are some of our favourite things here at RGCD HQ - and Pug Fugly games deliver a healthy serving of each in their latest run 'n' gun release. |

Droid Assault (PuppyGames) With its winning combination of glowy neon graphics, classic game-play lifted straight from Andrew Braybrook's Paradoid and a healthy dose of new-school frenetic arena combat, Droid Assault has proven itself to be one of the best commercial indie titles of 2008. |

Lead 8K (Simone Serra) It received a glowing preview in issue #03, but has the final version of Lead 8K met our high expectations? Ruari gives the low-down. |

Loops Of Zen (XXL) Okay, yeah, it might look like a casual puzzle game, but Loops Of Zen is actually quite exceptional and well worth a play. Now who's up for coding us a C64 cartridge version? |

Rallybug (Cronosoft) Frantic platform jumping, VW Beetles and Hangman? A game like Rallybug could only come from the mind of Spectrum guru Jonathan Cauldwell. But is RallyBug genius, or just plain confusing? |

Rock Boshers (TIGSource) Arguably another game that should have received Featured status, Rock Boshers is Red Faction demade in the style of a ZX Spectrum game with a Victorian steampunk setting. Genius. |
