The original defender of the Crown is a masterpiece. That much is obvious or I would not be here. The sword play, breaking down castle walls with a catapult, the sub plots behind the main story. It was also so incredibly original and so impressive. But most importantly, a game that gave me immense pleasure! When I heard that there was a remastered edition, I was taken by surprise because I had searched for a newer Cinemaware games, but when I searched, the remastered edition never came up. I just found out recently. The graphics in the 1980s were truly incredible for their time. I can only imagine the remastered version. Even though it is 20 years old it must be sensational! There was a remake called “Robin Hood: defender of the crown”. It’s a great game but slightly different than the original. I kept my eye on Cinemaware to see what new games they might make. Again, somehow the remaster escaped me. I very much hope it won’t happen again.

Bomberman: Party Edition
Bomberman: Party EditionBomberman Party Edition, known in Japan and Europe as Bomberman, is a PlayStation version of the 1983 game Bomberman. In addition to vintage graphics for single player mode, an option for enhanced graphics is added. Battle mode is added to this release, which features 8 courses with 3 levels per course. The single player mode is very similar to the 1983 release of Bomberman. The player controls the titular Bomberman in a wide area, full of destructible and non-destructible blocks. The blocks can be destroyed with bombs, and may contain a power up that increases Bomberman's walking speed, the size of Bomb explosions, the number of bombs able to be placed, or the ability to explode your bombs with the push of a button or to walk through walls or bombs. Some power ups are temporary, allowing Bomberman to be immune to bombs or monsters. The point of each level is to destroy each monster, and then locate the door, which is located underneath a random block. After every few levels, the player can play a bonus level. The player is invincible, and an endless stream of monsters is to be destroyed by the player. The point is to try to build up score until a bonus life is awarded. Similar in design to Super Bomberman, there are a number of level themes in the single player mode.
