Uridium 2, one of the Amiga’s finest and hardcorest shoot ‘em ups, never quite made it to the CD32 console. A real shame since it was set to feature improved graphics and an all-new CD soundtrack. Now, thanks to some prodding from Heavy Stylus and clever hackery-pokery by musashi5150, a CD32 version is at last available.

Hot on the heels of the impressive Batman Forever demo on the Amstrad CPC, comes this state of the art effort on – wait for it – the venerable old Commodore VIC-20.

And it really is State of the Art. It’s a remake of Spaceball’s famous Amiga demo “State of the Art”. On a VIC-20. Unbelievable!

A new, and rather impressive, Amstrad CPC demo has just been released by The Batman Group team: Batman Forever.

You can’t have escaped hearing the recent news from Japan, and perhaps like me you’re wondering how much of what you hear is true and what is media hype. Wonder no more, we have a man on the ground in Tokyo.

It was with disappointment that I read that the BBC had cancelled their much hyped new sci-fi series Outcasts. It had a big-name cast, decent budget and talented writers, and was aimed at a larger “mainstream” audience, but none of these managed to save it from being another one-series-wonder.
