Game of the Month for June 2025: Time Soldier

Picked from a random selection from the fantastic Amiga Game Selector!

The Story So Far.....

Gylend, conqueror of the galaxies, has turned his might towards Earth, determined to enslave its people.

Yohan and Ben, two of the Seven Earth Commandos penetrate Gylend's stronghold to discover his source of power and destroy him.
Gylend detects their presence, enslaves them and turns five of the commandos instantly into gleaming red balls which are flung into the
endless void of time, scattering them forever.

Turning to Yohan and Ben, the only two Earth Commandos left, they hear Gylend's mocking voice, offering one slim chance of salvation and possible victory:

"You have done well to come so far, but can you survive my challenge of time! Find your friends and earn the right to face ME......
(for the planet) . NOW GO !!!"


Gylend banished the two Commando's to the wastes of time to battle his monsters and search for their comrades.

You must guide Yohan or Ben through the past and future. Survive and you will face the final battle with the evil Gylend. Win and free the world.

Had a last go tonight, but I also added it to my favourites for later!  I love this one.  I only managed 27,900 but thought that was worth another post.  Looking forward to playing this one again one day!

Score: 27,900 on my Amiga 1200, no cheats or passwords.

From 1989 to 1996, Amiga Joker was Germany's largest Amiga games magazine.  After a 21-year hiatus, they came back and published a special issue in 2017, and then another special issue in 2019.  For the Amiga's upcoming 40th anniversary this year (2025), they're ready to do it again.  But this time, they'd like to publish an English version of the magazine alongside the German.


If you're very fluent in both German and English, your help is needed to translate the German manuscript to English!


To volunteer, please email editor-in-chief Richard Lowenstein at:

joker@spieleschreiber.de


Thank you.

Last month (April 2025), the developer posted exciting news about the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive version of this highly anticipated Shinobi-style ninja game:

- Development of the game engine has been completed, including support for music and sound effects.

- Game is now running at a full 60 frames per second.

- Bankswitching is implemented, allowing the use of 16 MB (128 megabits) of cartridge space.  So all the high-quality art and animation frames will be fully supported.

- The Genesis / Mega Drive version is being built using SGDK.


The latest news for this month (May 2025) is that the game's core artwork is now almost fully complete, with just special effects and background animations left to add - these will bring extra life and energy to the levels.

Been meaning to participate in this for a while now, and I've always liked the idea of this game - at least the arcade version - so here's 37,550 on my second attempt, played on my tricked out Amiga 500, no cheats, passwords or continues.

Gotta say, it's an infuriating bloody game to play though.  Not sure I'll necessarily have the spoons to try to improve on that relatively lacklustre score, but here we are.   :)

Game of the Month for May 2025: Crack Down

Picked from a random selection from the fantastic Amiga Game Selector!

After breaking through the main gate Ben and Andy now encounter the Replicants barracks. The keen eyed guards are on constant watch. The Orange guards are masters of Kung-Fu, the Green guards are expert shots.
As Ben and Andy pass the trucks the Kung-Fu masters leap out ready for attack.
After making sure they have planted all the bombs they have but seconds to make their way to the next level before the barracks are totally destroyed.
Now Ben and Andy make their way through the underground caverns which lead to the rest of Dr K's fortress. The Green and Orange guards are still hot on your trail but now machine gun carrying bullet proof guards join in the fun. Watch out for the trap doors.
The next level is the refinery, athletic guards with top-of-the-range pistols are out for blood. Things could hot up as some carry flame throwers. Be careful in the water as you could drown.
The fourth level … you now enter Dr K's transporter room. Be quick through the electric doors. On the far right the guards are transported across the fortress on the huge transportation grid.
Four levels down, twelve more to go ....
