Diary: Making of Mr. Do! for the ZX Spectrum

July 5, 2021 By ausretrogamer


If you follow Mark R. Jones on Twitter, you may have come across his post about the Diary on the making of MrDo! for the 48k/128k ZX Spectrum.

Mark’s 50 page PDF is a fascinating read for any gamers that want to learn how Mark and co. converted the 1982 Universal arcade game and why it took nearly 2 years (Feb 2017 to June 2019) to complete! Oh yeah, did we mention it is free?!

Your Top 10 Favourite Classic Video Games

September 9, 2020 By ausretrogamer

The folks at Replay Magazine have been quite busy of late conducting classic gaming surveys, like Your Top 4 Favourite Classic Video Game Characters of All-Time, and their latest one, Your Top 10 Favourite Classic Video Games.

We were quite surprised to see Ms. Pac-Man at number 1, but then again, it is the best arcade Pac-Man game, so it deserves to be on any favourite classic video games lists. Galaga (woohoo!) was up there in second spot and of course, Donkey Kong! Oh yeah, great to see our fave arcade game of all time, Double Dragon, make the list too. But what happened to Street Fighter II?

Your Top 10 Favourite Classic Video Games by Replay Magazine:

  1. Ms. Pac-Man
  2. Galaga
  3. Donkey Kong
  4. Pac-Man
  5. Asteroids
  6. Daytona USA
  7. Double Dragon
  8. Galaxian
  9. Mortal Kombat
  10. Mr DO!
