Millennium 2.2 - Another great Amiga space strategy with two great remakes!

In the game, humanity has colonized the Moon and Mars. However a 20 trillion ton asteroid has collided with Earth, making it uninhabitable. All that is left of humanity is a small, self-sufficient colony on the surface of the Moon, and a race of mutant humans on Mars. As the commander of Moonbase, it is your job to ensure the survival of humankind by exploring the Solar System for other habitable planets and moons, and ultimately re-establish life on Earth. However, the Martian mutants consider themselves the superior race and want Earth for themselves. A war is inevitable. The core of the game is spent in resource management and researching new technologies for space ships and base improvements. A typical game involves manufacturing probes, managing each colony's solar power energy generation, and mining for resources on various planets and their moons.

Amiga Version

The player needs to balance manufacturing output with the available solar power, and many minerals are only available from certain planets or asteroids. Depending on planetary orbits, colony ships and probes can take longer to reach their destinations. As time progresses, colonists will adapt to different atmospheres, and after Earth is terraformed, secede from the player's control, stranding any ships that may be docked. Each game begins with the planets in the same orbital positions, and the types of resource were always the same for each planet. A certain hard to find mineral is always on the same planet, and that planet only. The only break from the resource management simulation comes when the player is under attack by Martians

Millennium 2.2 is the prequel to the also amazing Deuteros, both generally feel the same but of cause differ graphically. Whereas in Deuteros you have drones, in Millennium 2.2 when defending it turns into a Space Simulator which involves what look to be triangles shooting at you in space, think of it as an elite control scheme. In regards to the remake of Millennium 2.2 the Space Action Simulator is replaced by enemy dots i mean err space ships attacking from all sides, which is so much easier than the original.

We have two versions for you to enjoy, the original Amiga version which had been remade using an inbuilt emulator and extra graphical filters. Download, Run Game, Press F12 in game for extra settings.  The other version is a full remake it doesn't have any inbuilt emulators and most of the screens look completely different however not distracting from that Millennium 2.2 feel which made it so amazing.

Myself, I've played the original when it was first released in 1989 and spent many weeks trying to finish it... The Amiga playable pc version which again I completed and the remake again, completed.  I'll say this you will love both the original amiga-pc remake and the full remake.

Aliens vs Marine - AvP marine part ( REMAKE ) FPS

This is really looking rather interesting not just for fans of the aliens versus predator games but First Person Shooter players as well. Not much to go on at the moment though it does look damn fine, but any more information will be posted on Indie Retro News as soon we get it !

Here's a snippet from the developer

AVM is not a MOD anymore. Now I'm using freeSDK and I started textures-replacement process (all Doom3 and AvP2010 textures will be replaced with my own textures, which are very close to the original txs. This process is very time consuming.. In these days I'm finishing Derelict level and I started to work on AI (facehuggers will be first), rigging and animating. I'm planning to post a new video with a FIGHT on january or february 2013. Please be patient.

Video games unknown facts! part 1

GTA

(Grand Theft Auto)

Grand theft auto has a few hidden gems and odd secrets, even it's creation is rather unique. can you believe it started out as a GLITCH!?. Well it's true! GTA was spawned from a different game called "Race and Chase" which was very similar to GTA in many ways, you were essentially a getaway driver, stealing from banks and then trying to lose the cops.  Very similar to a much later game called "Driver" but that was more story driver than this game. but what was this glitch you may ask? well instead of trying to pull over the criminal (you) the police cars would actually ram you off the road and damage your car. the game had no missions that involved walking but you could still leave your car and go for a strole through the park... but considering it was an arcade game it was a waste of time and money to do that, you could steal other cars though.


Back then Rockstar North was known as DMA Design, that strange multicoloured man made out of lettersso that's how it was created but what about what was WITHIN the games that followed? well it seems that in every GTA game released the developers loved leaving little Tid-Bits for an adventurous player to find, including a few obscure refferences to movies and other games related to the GTA franchise. From the Blood covered bathroom in vice city, which was a nod to the film "Scarface" where a character is killed in a bathtub by a chainsaw, i wont spoil any names of the characters so go watch the movie to find out what i mean. All the way to a random wall in an area your not supposed to get to that litterelly states "your not supposed to get here" which in later "remakes" was replaced with "hello again" and "you really like this alleyway".

There are far too many glitches and easter eggs to name them all, heck one of them is an actual EASTER EGG! a chocolate one found in vice city, only accessable by jumping through a window from a roof... go look it up people it's real and not as hard as it sounds.

If there's anything you think i should add to this please let me know! i love to find out more things about old favorites. This is only the first issue, i shall be doing this on any game that you think has an interesting history, please add a comment or Message me with the title and an example as to why you think it's history or glitches/secrets are worth sharing.

Tower Toppler/Nebulus - Platformer Retro Remake

 One of our readers requested a remake of Nebulus and through some searching we found exactly that, aren't we nice. This old skool platformer is a reimplementation of the old game known as Tower Toppler or Nebulus. It was available for PC, Atari, C64. The author was J.M.Phillips and was published by Hewson software. The player character, a small green creature called Pogo, is on a mission to destroy eight towers that have been built onto the sea, by planting bombs at the towers' peaks. Pogo's progress is hindered by enemies and obstacles, which he has to avoid in order to reach the top of the tower. As you walk and hop around the tower, the entire tower rotates as you move giving the impression of a 3d environment with a sense of depth. Not the easiest of games and has caused a certain amount of fustration. But still worth a look as it was still fun to play.

Spuds Quest - Platformer Adventure Puzzler ( REVIEW )

Spuds Quest.

A developer by the name of ChrisD has been creating a game known as "Spuds Quest" it has been in development since 2002 and is around 70% completed, or so the developer states.

In the words of the developer the game "is a platform adventure puzzler inspired by the classic Dizzy games, with some Zelda thrown in" so all those hardcore retro fans are going to love this... hopefully.

As stated the game is a Nod to the classic dizzy and zelda games "back in the day" and will most likely play out in a similar fashion, from the screenshots it appears to be located in a bright tropical environment, as well as an underwater level and even one situated inside a temple. whether there will be other environments when released is uncertain as of this point in time.

In many of the screenshots there is a frog who appears to be following you, this is spuds friend "prince charming". similar to the old fairy tale where the prince is turned into a frog by an evil witch and must be kissed by a princess... this one changes the fairy tale slightly.

No kissing is necessary... if only things could be so simple.

No instead you must find "find four magical artifacts, all said to be buried deep within ancient temples around the world."

About the gameplay:

There is a transition from night to day and various whether effects are in place but all seem to only change the background, no tiles appear to be changed whether that be by colour or by whether effects. when it rains or becomes night the background changes hue, but from what i can see that is the only change.

Spud does have a weapon, a projectile one at that. "he throws apples. This is used to kill enemies, knock switches, destroy certain blocks, etc. Gives me a little more variety in the puzzle department too."

So there will probably be a few levels dedicated to using projectiles to press on with the game.

The game is on kickstarter and is hoping to raise a pledge of £5,000, if you wish to donate you also gain a few "perks" from doing so:

Pledging £1+ will get you a place on their website.

Pledging £5+ will get you a digital copy of the game and a spot in the credits.

Pledging £10+ will get you a digital copy of the game and the OST as well as a place in the credits.

Pledging £25+ along with the above you also get a hard copy of the game.

Pledging £35+ along with the above will get you a hard copy of the OST

Pledging £150+ will get you your own spot inside the game, an NPC dedicated to you and your "likeness" with your name. plus all of the above.

If you feel any of that is worth donating for then go right ahead.

Otherwise the game is expected to be released march 2013.

Elite : Dangerous - An epic return for an old fav but there are concerns!

“Elite: Dangerous is the game I have wanted Frontier to make for a very long time. The next game in the Elite series – an amazing space epic with stunning visuals, incredible gameplay and breath-taking scope, but this time you can play with your friends too. I want a game that feels more like the original Elite to fly, and with more rapid travel (to allow for the multi-player nature of the game) – so you travel quickly using local ‘hyperspace’ travel rather than by fast-forwarding time – but with the rich galaxy of Frontier – and more, so much more.”
“Up to now “Elite” has been worked upon by a small team as a ‘skunk-works’ activity in the background as availability permits. Nevertheless, we have been preparing; laying the technology and design foundations for when the time is right. And that time is now.”

As some of you well know Elite:Dangerous was announced via kickstarter the other day with a renowned sense of joy however there are some concerns amongst the gaming community. One such follower melnificent from rockpapershotgun  has said.

I love elite, but I want to raise some concerns about this kickstarter and the company behind it. It’s been in development for over 10 years (14 years at present), like duke nukem forever. It is being made by a proper commercial entity, like duke nukem forever.
The company has produced a couple of good hits (lost winds) amongst a sea of mediocrity (generic kinect stuff), like duke nukem forevers parent company.
There are no screenshots, concept art or any assets at all. Unlike Duke nukem Forever, which did have concept art and a trailer video.
As it stands at the moment it’s on course to be even more vapour like than DNF. It’s already past the same timescale.
Ask yourself, why would a company that has been around for years suddenly need money upfront without proof of anything. Especially, after promising the game from as far back as 1998.
http://uk.gamespot.com/news/qanda-david-braben-from-elite-to-today-6162140
This is a cash grab to keep the studio going for a few more months. Traded on the back of a promise, looking at nostalgia.
The company accounts show that from 2009 they have blown through almost £5m in 2 years (down to £1m) and at that rate will be bankrupt by next year.
The shares have dropped £4m in a year. And the liabilities have more than doubled.
This £1.2m kickstarter is to make sure they can get through to the next financial year. Nothing more. The expected delivery date is AFTER they have run out of cash even with kickstarter backing.
http://companycheck.co.uk/company/02892559
Most damning of all their last game (announced 2008) has yet to materialise. Beyond a trailer from a few years back.
I really do want to be proven wrong as I’d love another elite, but I’m afraid the writing is on the wall. This will most likely be a high profile kickstarter failure. And the collapse of a company to boot.

Will you risk pledging to get this possibly amazing game off the ground or will it all end in a failure of lies?

With an incredibly wide field of view, high resolution display, and ultra-low latency head tracking, the Rift provides a truly immersive experience that allows you to step inside your favorite game and explore new worlds like never before.” Oculus was also made possible thanks to Kickstarter.

strike-suit-zero Oculus Rift

If you have not heard about Strike Suit Zero here's a little snippet about the game and a kickstarter to help out!, which has already achieved it's goal.

Strap yourself into the titular Strike Suit – a mecha form capable of more than jet-like jousting – and dive into the civil war foiling humanity’s expansion efforts; Smith wouldn’t tell us all the details, but we did hear something about a mysterious third faction. But never mind that: you job is to shoot things and not drop your choice of joystick, controller or mouse and keyboard while gaping at the loveliness of thoughtful space combat.
Strike Suit Zero is due on PC via Steam, origin and other digital distributors in northern autumn, and is expected on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2013.

Good news, everyone!

Our new and improved anti-cheat system is finally live. Over the past few weeks we've been collecting data on the ways folks are hacking (ESP hack, adjusting weapon settings, no clipping) and have updated our code.

This means that using any cheats or hacks, or even ATTEMPTING to use them, will result in a ban.

First offense will result in a 24-72 hour ban.

Second offense... permaban.

SO, this is a formal warning to the 0.8% of you using cheats - stop what you are doing or face the consequences.
