Retro Rant - Gaming Review Youtube Channel
Hello fine people,
I though I would create a thread on my YT channel, for updates and discussion. This is a channel that deals with retro games on several platforms but mainly focusing on Amiga and Amstrad CPC, covering modern retro games, obscure games that deserve more love, the occasional stinker (gotta love these) as well as my own (usually negative) opinions on games considered to be classics. I have 18 episodes already, with the most recent one being a review and playguide for the Amiga port of Elite! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/APhcktkQ3JQ |
For the latest episode we have Orion Prime. A spoiler-free review of this impressive 2009 point'n'click adventure game for the good, old Amstrad CPC. A masterpiece or a missed opportunity? Check out this episode and find out!

In this episode we shall be taking a look at Apprentice, a rather obscure platformer, released by Rainbow Arts in 1990 for the Commodore Amiga. A hidden gem or a game better left untouched?

For the latest episode we have an Amstrad CPC game from 1985, Airwolf, famous for its ridiculous difficulty level. Does it deserve its notoriety?

New Retro Rant episode dealing with the Atari ST version of Addams' Family. Was it truly better than the Amiga version?

Spent many tries dying just to deal with the stuff with the two pillars on the left. I think I never managed to go further than the part at the bottom. I gave up. I might have some back a few times to give a try again but quickly gave up each time. I have not even bothered since then to try and find a trained version to check further and see the ending. |

:) Genius stuff. I guess playtesters/quality assurance (if there were any) never managed to reach that point and therefore it was never reported.

After the June Leaderboard challenge, it should come as no surprise that I chose Paperboy on the Amiga for the next review. A decent coin-op conversion for the miggy or the usual lazy money-grabbing affair?

For this episode we take a look at Shadows of Sergoth, a 2018 dungeon crawler for the Amstrad CPC. Do we finally get a decent RPG for the 8-bits?

This time we will be reviewing Simon the Sorcerer, which is considered one of the best point'n'click adventure games on the Amiga. Is it truly?
