It starts to get fun on an accelerated 16-bit machine but the poor old 8-bits never had much chance with 3D like this. That’s a very unforgiving score 😅

Looks Hard Driving! 😂

It was a tad underwhelming Clint 😅

Love this video. Can't beat the Hit Squad either. Hard Drivin' - not a fun game exactly, but rewarding once you get the hang of it. Glad you are giving the CPC some love. I have to rotate my 'eras' - it's been Mega Drive for most of this week, PS2 today....but I play the CPC pretty much every week. Interesting you picked Hard Drivin' - a simulator, today. I played Gran Tourismo 4 on PS2 today, and I have the same view of both....not always fun, but very rewarding. Happy CPC' ing!

I agree with you on that,even arcade version as i kid i didn’t like,i knew it was 💩but had to see until the end

HARD DRIVIN' is a legendary Arcade conversion on the Amiga 😺👍🕹️. But when i bought the Commodore 64 version of this game in a compilation called TNT back in October 2022, i was like: "OH... MY... MEOWING... GOD 😹!!!" The Commodore 64 version has the main intro music 🎵🎶, and it is brilliant 😺👍. But the gameplay 🕹️... AAAAAAAARGH 😹!!! I can also see, that you are suffering from the hard drivin' problems 😹. Well, at least, you did your best 😸😺👍🕹️.

This one of those games that are ok for a few hours but then the novelty wares off

Ah mate, we haven't all abandoned you, i'm still fronting up every week. Your channel is awesome! On the game, agreed! It's a dust collector mate sitting on the shelf. I too own a copy of this one but never play it, have no interest in playing pass time games in a video game. Interesting thing I noticed is that they spelt the title the proper English way rather than the American way ''Parlour Games'' instead of ''Parlor Games''. ☺

Awesome vid Clint. Not much experience with this one, I do own a copy but have never played it. I think the SNES port might actually be the best one, that one has music that sounds like Seinfeld.

Yes get in thats another quid you owe me bud..... its getting up there now 😂 ive never played this one but for some reason I've been kind of wanting to lately 😂 but not sure after seeing you play it now Clint buddy 😂

And 180 on the ZX Spectrum is still the best darts video game 😂

I bet once you get the hang of the pool it would be a good game. If it was 1987 you would think they would have made it more authentic by showing a player swigging back a pint of beer on the darts😂

Never played this that darts looks well strange,pool 9 ball billiards looked alright,Bingo should have featured Brenda that would have made you return 😜it was always cheap as chips and no one really purchased when i worked at the shop,didn’t look too bad and the middle diddle ain’t too bad 👍🏻

If the score is a 6, that is because it got averaged with your shirt score: (9+3)/2=6. What is that, a plastic rain coat disguised as kids shirt? Golden Axe warrior is great though, it is what Zelda should have been on the NES, but wasn't because back then they did not understand shit yet on how to program the NES, and ROM chips were way too expensive. A bit like what Hudson soft did on the PC Engine: do Zelda right. I think both Neutopia and this are better examples of Zelda done right than Nintendo's own attempt with Link to the Past. That game is killed by 1) a too big world, 2) stupid glitches that makes strange loopholes to do 3 min speedruns, 3) horrible music. It sounds so bad compared to Neutopia II, I understand they turned it into classic orchestra renditions. It is unbearable on your Stereo Trinitron.

Love this game! A bit of an acquired taste but a classic. Can get addictive

Its defo back on the shelf for me Clint buddy 😊 there was a handlebar cab, I used to love that cab. I got loads of great memories getting this for Christmas back in the day.... even if I have always been rubbish at it 😂

I love paper boy And this pult looks like a decent one, Nice one Clint, Get a bit of practising and you're gonna love this game

Back in the day i have seen it in the store but it was not cool enough for me. I have to play it now to see what i missed or did not miss😅

Thanks for sharing this game. Yes - there is an arcade cab with handle bars, hence says turn handle bars to choose route 😂. BTW- playing- try and shoot papers on door steps. Black houses are the unsubscribed ones and you try and smash their windows!

I bought this on the cpc6128 on budget for 3 quid. The game looked really good but what I remember the music was really bad or there wasn't any. Yes the arcade version did have handlebars which where designed a few times until they where strong and durable enough. A classic game. Slopes games review dose a brilliant full history of the game on utube.

I like both them covers 👌Still love this game and looks and plays really well on the sms imo Loved that you liked it and wanted to go back,That score is fair 👊🏻

love this game as a kid not played it for years but is a great game maybe one of my top 10

PAPERBOY happens to be my first game (tape) on my Commodore 64, when i was a little boy back in the late mid 1980's 😺👍. I remember, when my mom left to work, me and my dad switched on our first Commodore 64 and played so many great games 😺👍🕹️. I still have PAPERBOY for my Commodore 64 on the tape (Encore, CiB) and disk (Elite, loose) 😺👍🕹️. The Sega Master System version of this game looks graphically cool 😺👍🕹️. Even the music 🎵🎶 sounds retrospectively brilliant 😺👍. A big retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

It’s a cool port, probably the best on the home microcomputers. The 16-bit versions were too ambitious and ended up a right mess. This is as good as you could ask for (apart from no music as you say).

This is a great looking game but I must admit I feel the same such a shame it has no in game music Great video mate 👍

I remember hearing the title but this is the first time I saw it, it seems quite good but the track looks narrow.

That looks pretty awesome, wasn’t expecting much from this one tbh! Pity about no music but still looks very playable!

Even though this has always frustrated me I still like it Clint buddy 😃🕹👊

Only played this a few times and it's decent and on my MD want list Great video mate 👍

I’ll have to persevere with this one. Think I last played it for the master system challenge and i struggled with timing the turns within the maze. You definitely got far further in this vid than I did! Have a top weekend mate.

Terrific game! I own a copy of this on the Master System and Mega Drive, both ports are great but the Mega Drive one is the superior one in my view and it's probably my favourite Pacman game out of them all. This game has that Mortal Kombat AI counter bullshit in it. In the later stages the ghosts jump at the exact time YOU jump so jumping over them is near impossible just like in Mortal Kombat when you jump at the opponent, the opponent throws an air projectile at you. Great video Clint. 💥😀

I had this on the mega drive as a kid, It's a great game, Love those Isometric 3D type graphics And the music sounds great, Looks like a pretty good port to me, I agree miss pacman is better But you really can't compare this to the best pac man game 😂 It's still fantastic, Nice one Clint have a wonderful weekend

With you id rather play Ms Pacman but i love most Pacman games,Hello Pacman not so much on sfc,respect you respect Pacman 👊🏻

The visual effect is well done but just like Ms. Pac-man this game is too difficult, at one point the ghosts are too fast.

Hey I respect the hell out of you Clint but this is one of those rare occasions where I completely disagree with you, bad call mate, you badly misjudged this one in my opinion. I got this game when I was 14 and have loved it ever since. Outrun Europa is a great racer for the Master System that also has a great soundtrack, it doesn't need FM synthesis as Matt Furniss gives it a solid PSG groove and look how far you got on your second try, you made it to the jetski level, so with a little more patience and practise you'll get even farther next time. By the way you were supposed to ram into the other jetski guy to get rid of him otherwise he'll keep draining your shield til you die. The game has 5 levels 1. Motorbike 2. Jetski 3. Black Porsche 4. Speed boat 5. Red Ferrari It's a solid game and definitely on the shelf for another day. 8/10 🥰

You can't get it out the window.... you put a box there 😂 ive got this but can't remember if I've played it.... I defo wont be in a rush to play it though, how many cops where there 😮

Loved this video so much Nostalgia for this game

If you have to think about it its out the window😂

I love OG Out run And coast to coast But I've never played Europa, 2:29 Music is alright but not as good as the original, Graphics look pretty decent, I think I agree with you didn't look that good, They should have stuck to cars not too sure about The jet ski in this one

Looks ok this like a cross between outrun and road rash and tbh not seen it before so was cool to see you play it Great video fella 👍

Both renditions of Zombie games are wicked, they both fluctuate in price but decent to have the MD version. My heart lies with the MD but I have the SNES version

Nice one, buddy. That one looks a ton of fun. How tight are the controls.?

Classic 🙌

doesnt to bad game wheres the hang tag on box lol

This was part of the experience back then, there were a couple of games that just stopped working and could never be played again, can still feel the pain now 35 years later. I was glad to hear you keep trying for another hour. At least this week it wasn’t your fault, unlike that loose cable last week. Graphics on this look a lot better than I was expecting, and the music, but when you see the effect on the gameplay….maybe it was too ambitious for the system.

Last time I bought a c64 back I kept running into similar issues, gave up in the end and stuck to cartridge games only 😂! I just don’t have the spare time or the patience for loading tapes anymore! Looked like it was gonna be a half decent game to be fair!

You've got a love tape cassettes 😂.

Looked half decent to what you got but get it binned and weeee on it immediately or sooner 👊🏻

I empathise with you its frustrating when things like that happen. I remember chase hq would never load on my 6128 on cassette and i borrowed it of a few people and it would just click at the same point during the loading and crash, wierd. Iv only ever seen altered beast on the amiga version. To be honest in my oppinion the best graphics i saw back in the day on amstrad was teenage mutant turtles, i dont know if you ever saw that but i thought the graphics on that for an 8 bit where as good as 16 bit.
