It was somewhat of the same idea, but not at all the same game.

Okay okay...stop ye'r whining


This one's another from the 8-bit era. Mid 80's and appeared on the C64, Spectrum and even the Amstrad CPC.


This one stars one of the classic Scifi heroes, that's for sure.
I've never met an officer who's so noble and pure...
The villan he faces is not without grace.
As are the surroundings, which takes place in space...

First thought is of cource Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday, but that wasn't a game of the mid 80s...

Very good DrSpike. It is indeed Dan Dare.

The first game was released on C64 as an action adventure. You had to find your way into a hidden base on an asteroid that was hurtling towards earth. Trying to defeat the Mekon and his army of loyal treens.

The spectrum and CPC apparently were more platform orientated but the graphics were quite good on all platforms.

Ah memories...where goes the time...?

No it's not a clanger. Actually it might predate the clangers by a decade or so. The original comic was from the 50/60's and the clangers arrived in the 70's.

It's stripey, a pet which is sort of a cross between a cat and an elephant. Dan and his crew picked up on one of their travels.

Ah so its actualy from the comic stories? Yes maybe the clangers were based on it then?

Oh well done - erm a prize............

My guess : Cobra - i think sly was meant to be a cop gone bad or something, but he couldn't stop behaving like a criminal?

Damn it, didn't see the second clue the first time around. Sequel eh? Maybe Spy vs Spy 2, that was a sequel, but it doesn't really fit that well with the first clue.

Correct DrSpike...................Hey!! Hold on, what's this? An attempt to boost your score by guessing your own games?

Hehe no. The point goes to Buck, who will post the next game as soon as he is released from his 24 hour ban.
