 Plus Code Masters today are shit!.. They were the best when they were making 8 bit and some okish 16 bit games, but now they are like Atari, just a name label to the same old shitty non-original PC games. Quote:
long time no hear !!.. Actually that reminds me that i need to get onto brad about the next retro gaming convention... You going to be there if it comes about? Back to the news thing. Yep, its the same level of reporting that we get from most Western media, mediocre and full of bullshit!. |

Overlord: Raising Hell looks like a cool remake of Dungeon Keeper by Blizzard which cant be bad cos I loved that game and still play DK2 from time to time. |

Overlord whilst looking similar to Dungeon Keeper is nothing like it as such. The basic gameplay is the same but it just doesn't capture the spirit of being evil.

If only Graftgold had produced lots of crappy budget games instead of quality full price titles then they might be honoured too - and still around.

The Darling Brothers have been knighted
Who'd have thunk it... Publishing the "Dizzy" games and hacking the NES's lock-out chip is enough to get you a CBE these days...

 How many of the original codemasters games were actually good? I can't remember anything sticking out to be honest. Can't beat "pump out crap, sell, repeat" as a business strategy Maybe it's one I can adopt

are these earlier games or later?
there's only one solution, go through the whole back catalogue edit: and by "original" I mean, from the 80's Last edited by discomeats; 16 June 2008 at 11:03. Reason: to clarify |

Well, Micro Machines was released in '93 and first Race Driver in 2003. But why are only games from the 80s original Codemasters games?
