40 years ago I reviewed Bounty Bob Strikes Back, a single-screen platformer sequel to the classic Miner 2049'er. We cheekily reviewed the Atari version (which was basically the same as the C64 version), but either way, we thought it was really addictive and fun.

While moving, my parents found a big stack of ZZAP!s in a box. They're absolutely mint - unread, and because they've literally not seen the light of day for almost four decades, their pages are brilliant shiny white and sharp-edged, not dogeared and brown. Pretty cool!

A lot have been asking about impossible mission 3 and dragon punch. We needed a break from im3 as spending so much time on memory saving become a real slog. So once we finish Tyrian's Towers ( which shouldn't be too long now ) we will be back on im3 and then dragon punch. #c64

This'll be an interesting interview. Despite being based on a kid's toy line, the Zoids game was very complex and quite esoteric in some ways. Us older gamers loved it, but retrospectively I think it was probably too complicated and weird for the younger players of the era.
