Bat n Ball – A Breakout / Arkanoid style game with something new to mix it all! (PC)

Sunday, 28 February 2021 by HAS Admin

If you remember Arkanoid; an arcade game first developed by Taito in 1986, with the bat like device scrolling from side to side at the bottom of the screen, bouncing an orb back and forth and smashing blocks for a high score. Then you might be interested to know Langford Productions has released Bat ‘n’ Ball; an Indie game which is inspired by that classic game but instead mixes it up with some rather cool features.

As noted by the description : BAT ‘N’ BALL is not only a Breakout / Arkanoid style game, but it brings new additions to the table such as 50 level brick-busting bonanzas with 100 screens, bonus levels, big scary bosses, angry aliens behind bricks that launch at you in frustration, extra balls, explosive bombs, bonus bubbles and much much more to make this a worthy download for PC(Windows).

Parachute – Game and Watch title unofficially released for MS-DOS

Saturday, 20 February 2021 by HAS Admin

Another day and another Game and Watch mention, as the previous one was called ‘Donkey Kong Jr’ which was ported over to multiple commodore systems, and this latest release called ‘Parachute’ has been developed for MS-DOS. Now unlike the other game port developed by alargames and starring Mario, Parachute was a game released in 1981 and has been ported/remade to the MS-DOS by friedpixels.

According to the Wikipedia write up for the game ” Parachute is a Game & Watch game released as a part of the Wide Screen series on June 19, 1981. The player controls a character in a boat and has to prevent parachutists from landing in shark-infested waters. A life is lost every time the player fails to do this. In Game B, the parachutes can get stuck in trees. Parachute was recreated in Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy, Game & Watch Gallery 2 for Game Boy Color, Game & Watch Gallery 4 for Game Boy Advance and Game & Watch Collection 2 for the Nintendo DS (a Club Nintendo-exclusive)”.

Bagman Comes Back – A homage to Bagman, an arcade game released by Valadon Automation in 1982

Saturday, 20 February 2021 by HAS Admin

We’ve certainly had our fair share of Arcade games mentioned on Indie Retro News this year so far, from Tapper, to Puzzle Bobble, and yes even Space Invaders. But another game has just caught our attention, and that’s LC-Games latest homage to the 1980’s ‘Bagman’ called ‘Bagman Comes Back’; a game that’s available to download through the itch.io website as a version that is made up of 8 completely new stages.

According to the wiki for Bagman, The objective of the game is to maneuver the bagman through various mine shafts, picking up money bags and placing them in a wheelbarrow at the surface of the mine. The player must avoid pursuing guards, moving ore carts, and descending elevators. The player may temporarily stun the guards by striking them with a pickaxe or by dropping money bags on them when they are below the player on the same ladder. The player may move between the three screens which make up the level via shafts and on the surface.

Annalynn – A 2D platformer made in the style of arcade games from the early ’80s!

Tuesday, 02 February 2021 by HAS Admin

We’ve certainly had our fair share of Arcade games mentioned on Indie Retro News from Donkey Kong, to Kung Fu Master, and even Rygar. But another game has just caught our attention with a nostalgic nod to the past, and that’s Cruise Elroy’s Arcade game of ‘ Annalynn ‘; a highly recommended 2D platformer for PC(Windows) which has been made in the style of arcade games from the early ’80s. 

Play as Annalynn, the eponymous heroine who has to run, jump, and climb to outwit the four snakes: Randy, Handy, Candy, and Mike. Collect the coins, grab the bonus foods, and turn the tables with blinding rubies! The game features addictive gameplay, 16 rounds over 5 unique areas, graphics and sound faithful to early 80’s arcade games, 22 unlockable characters, local high score tables, and all of this with great feedback such as “I love this game and have played it a bunch” and “This game looks great”.

Free Mars – Turn based free strategy PC game about colonizing Mars

Saturday, 16 January 2021 by HAS Admin

For those of you who love playing the 1991 hit strategy game of Civilization will be interested in this piece of news, as Daniel Blake has let us know through Facebook, that you can download the latest version of Free Mars by arikande; a turn based strategy game about colonizing Mars, which is also heavily inspired by that classic game Civilization intermixed with the Mars scenario which can be found via Civilization 2.

According Daniel Blake, who sent us this news story. He has said that Free Mars is not only a fan game project, but as a big fan himself of FreeCiv and FreeCol he was surprised to see as growing up playing Sid Meier’s Colonization and the Mars scenario in Civilization 2, that Free Mars combines the best parts of these two games into a standalone game as a brilliant idea. He also goes on to say, Free Mars has some slight Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri influences there as well I think, but it mostly feels like Sid Meier’s Colonization but on Mars.. So what’s not to like?
