3D Starstrike (Urban Interactive) Remember back in the days when you could rip-off a massive movie franchise and popular arcade game and sell a home computer version by the shedload without fear of a lawsuit? Well, before Star Wars was eventually ported by Domark, Spectrum owners had 3D Starstrike. And it was good. And so is this. |

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... |

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. |
