My Favourite ‘B’ Games - No.41
Bombo
Coded by Mark Greenshields (Split Personalities) this Bomb Jack clone has brilliant music & colourful graphics, and while it was overpriced on release (it feels more like a budget game than a full-price release), it’s rather enjoyable for a while.

Blagger
This Manic Miner clone, coded by a 17-year-old Tony Crowther, is a pretty solid derivative of Matthew Smith’s Spectrum classic. Graphics and sound are basic but the pixel-perfect platforming action is immediately addictive.

Bazooka Bill
The big, bold, colourful yet rudimentary graphics have a certain charm, and the sound isn’t too bad either, but Bazooka Bill's basic, repetitive gameplay lets it down. A kind of pound-shop Green Beret for very young gamers.

Booty
🏴☠️ Jim the cabin boy must collect treasure across 20 holds of a pirate ship while dodging rats, parrots and pirates. A simple budget platformer with basic graphics and sound and just about enough playability for the £1.99 asking price.

Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom
One of the C64’s earliest arcade conversions (1983), BRPOZ is a bog-standard version of the Sega original. The 3D effect is pretty good for ’83, but the graphics are blocky, the sound is weak and the gameplay is very repetitive.

Half have gone already, so if you fancy one, don't hang about too long!

Alter Ego
Years ahead of its time, Alter Ego isn’t just a game—it’s a life simulator. You make choices from birth to death, shaping personality, relationships & fate through hundreds of scenarios. Thoughtful, funny, unique & uttery engrossing, it’s magnificent.

Armalyte
A blistering shoot-em-up that pushed the C64 to its limits, Armalyte's stunning backgrounds, detailed sprites, cool co-op gameplay & relentless alien waves make it feel like an arcade game on a humble C64. Tough, technical & gorgeous, it's a masterpiece.

Arkanoid
Arkanoid reinvented Breakout for a new generation — slick controls, smooth graphics and addictive power-ups turned simple block-busting into gaming perfection. The C64 version is fast, polished and endlessly replayable. Simple idea, timeless fun.

Alien Syndrome
Race through maze-like ships rescuing hostages, blasting grotesque aliens and battling monstrous bosses, Alien Syndrome's fast, atmospheric co-op gameplay - packed with tension - is fantastic. An excellent conversion of Sega's superb original.

Archon/Archon 2
Part chess, part arcade combat - 100% genius. In Archon, Light battles Dark across a shifting board where strategy meets real-time duels, while Adept expands the idea with elemental magic and smarter AI. Innovative and utterly brilliant titles.

A.P.B.
A.P.B. puts you in the driving seat of rookie cop Officer Bob, racing through a chaotic city to ticket speeders and bust bad guys. This excellent conversion has neat graphics, good tunes and plenty of tongue-in-cheek action that keeps you playing.
