Today's retro pickup.
I subscribed to Eagle (the relaunch) from issue 1, as it was plugged in other comics I was reading.
Sadly, my stack of issues was thrown away in the mid 90s.
It's packed with 80s A list celebs!

Returned to this classic Konami game, Juno First from 1983 and just had my best run ever, and high score, on my first go of the day.

I have played the arcade version of Volfied before, and very good it is too.
Wasn't aware of a C64 version but it's pretty decent.
Addictive high score chasing Qix variant.

Insector Hector in the Interchange, aka Interchange.
Odd name, but fifty levels of tile puzzle action, somewhat reminiscent of Bombuzal or Chip's Challenge.
Nice password system makes it simple to complete.
