The Retro Asylum Episode 82 — Ocean Software 1984-1998
Welcome to episode 82 of The Retro Asylum, the UK’s No1 Retro Gaming Podcast.
In this episode your hosts are MrSid aka Sam and PressPlayOnTape aka Steve. The guys take a look at one of the most popular game developers/publishers ever; Ocean Software. Starting in 1984 where it all began, and then working their way through the years right up until 1998.
The Spectrum Show 16K — Invaders
The Spectrum Show 16K Edition. Invaders by Artic Computing 1982. Is this a poor character based jerk-fest or one of the best Space Invaders games for the Spectrum?
The Spectrum Show 16K — Ghost Hunt
The Spectrum Show 16K Edition. Ghost Hunt by PSS 1983. Could this be some spooky game of terror or just a below average pacman game?
