Who doesn’t love some cheap games? They’re a nice way to pad out your library, sure, but a gamble they can definitely be – a cheap RRP isn’t usually synonymous with quality. Well, don’t fret, because I’m here to help! These 5 games I’m about to show you challenge that theory.
Here are 5 Games for the Retro Gamer you can find on Steam that are totally mint, as well as cheap!
I’ll be taking a look at each of the brand-new Psytronik Software Commodore 64 games in time, but I’m starting here, with what is quite possibly my favourite game of 2018 so far – Steel Ranger.
Developed entirely by Lasse Öörni and published by Psytronik Software.
The Commodore 64 is one of those systems that I have always coveted from afar. Well, kinda. As a kid, a neighbour of mine had one, and I relished every chance I got to play it. I did have a VIC-20, and I loved that thing, but it mysteriously disappeared a few weeks before I got my first Mega Drive for Christmas…
As you lot know, I am very much looking forward to Bitmap Bureau’s new Mega Drive/Dreamcast game Xeno Crisis.
And judging by the success of the Kickstarter campaign, it’s abundantly clear that I’m not the only one.
As a kid, I loved nothing more than convincing my neighbour to let me play their Amiga 500.
Ok, I’m sure there were things I loved more than that, but you see what I’m getting at.
The small amount of time I spent with the classic PC left me wanting more, and luckily, I didn’t have to look too far to get my fix. The Amiga was, obviously, quite the success in Europe, and although I’m not too sure how it fared here in Australia, I’d be willing to bet it was popular enough.
At least using the old “I knew tonnes of people with one” litmus test.
