ROBOCOP for arcade (Data East/1988), classic run-and-gun platformer based on the 1987 movie. It was very popular, leading to various home versions loosely based on it, for computers such as the ZX Spectrum and C64. Made by Ocean Software, the computer versions were major hits, specially in the UK.

Did you know that many C64 and ZX Spectrum games were developed on a Tatung Einstein computer? The Tatung was used to edit/assemble and deploy the code to the target machine via a serial/parallel link. Here's the editor in action loading Bubble Bobble source code for the Spectrum

COMBAT SCHOOL (Konami 1987) Also known as BOOT CAMP, it plays like earlier Decathlon or Hyper Sports games but it's about doing basic training for the USMC. Great and varied, it was ported to C64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MS-DOS PC. #コンバットスクール #arcade #2D #pixelart

The Amiga port of Pang (aka Buster Bros.), published by Ocean Software in 1990, is considered a spot-on arcade conversion and one of the finest arcade ports on the platform, receiving critical scores of 90% and higher. With its simple mechanics and relatively reduced scope, it was possible to adequately fit in the extremely tight deadlines of the computer niche, and coupled with the technical skill of the Ocean France development team, delivering a compelling result. Not only on the Amiga, but also on other classic computers of the era.

Robocop the movie was made into an equally impressive Commodore 64 game...with an issue! Released in 1988 by Ocean Software, it was infamous for being rushed out incomplete. On Level 4 (the warehouse/factory stage), the game hits a massive bug where the graphics become completely corrupted and the level is nearly impossible to finish. Developers reportedly lowered the time limit on purpose so most players would never reach the broken part. That aside it was an awesome game, Zzap!64 magazine rated it a solid 89% and described it as "Good blasting fun from the outset. It's tough but it'll keep you hooked" Despite the bugs, the game has excellent visuals for the C64, Robocop himself has great sprite work and the music by Jonathan Dunn, top notch. Are you a fan of this game, did it give the movie the props it deserved? Finally, did you somehow manage to complete it?

5 facts you didn't know about Kung-Fu Master, the classic 1985 Commodore 64 game from Data East (Developed by Berkeley Softworks): 1) On level 1, you could hold down the Shift Key and G for a gun, as seen in the video. This only worked on level 1. 2) An add-on to the gun cheat: press Shift and G and stand still for 1 second to show "By Chris Hawley" and then reset to the start. 3) Chris Hawley never made another game. 4) The USA Floppy disk was a Flippy Disk. On one side was the Commodore 64 version and on the other (flip it over) had the Apple II version. 5) The game is loosely inspired by the Jackie Chan movie Wheels on Meals. Have you watched it, and do you see the similarity? Bonus fact: You may recognize the developer, Berkeley Softworks, from GEOS. This game and Karate Champ were the only two games they made before creating the very successful GEOS for the C64.

This is the dance scene from "Fighter", India's version of "Top Gun", made in 2024 and based (very loosely) on a real battle between India and Pakistan in 2019. I just feel like India is going to make it.

Jensen Huang at GTC: "I expect data center build out to reach a trillion dollars, and I am fairly certain we're going to reach that very soon." "General purpose computing has run its course, and that we need a new computing approach." "In the past we wrote the software and we ran it on computers. In the future, the computer is going to generate the tokens for the software." "The computer has become a generator of tokens, not a retrieval of files."

The Bendix Central Air Data Computer is a gear-based analog computer used in 1950s fighter planes. It computed "air data" such as airspeed, Mach number, and temperature. We finally got it operational, hooked it up to some instruments, and got turning gears and spinning dials.

The X68000 was one of the best home computers for enjoying classic Konami and Capcom arcade games. Its hardware was so powerful that, aside from the Neo Geo, it was virtually the only system capable of delivering near-perfect arcade conversions at the time. Unfortunately, it was extremely expensive and sold exclusively in Japan, so very few people ever had the chance to experience it. Even today, decades after its release, the quality of its games is still incredibly impressive. Ghouls ’n Ghosts is a perfect example. Compared to the Mega Drive and PC Engine versions, the X68000 port is on an entirely different level in terms of accuracy and overall quality. It’s still amazing to think that a game this good could fit on just two floppy disks.

One of Sega’s greatest strengths in the 1990s was its ability to create arcade games using 3D hardware that completely outclassed the competition. Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter were developed on the Model 1 arcade system, which was based on advanced 3D technology originally developed for military applications. At the time, their performance was so impressive that other 3D games simply couldn’t compare. Because of that, it was extremely difficult to accurately reproduce these games on home consoles. In the early 1990s, the Model 1 arcade hardware cost close to $7,000, and even Sega’s own systems—the Mega Drive, 32X, and later the Sega Saturn—struggled to deliver arcade-perfect versions. Back then, I was disappointed by the gap in quality between the arcade and home versions. Looking back now, though, it’s amazing that Sega managed to port them as well as they did. It almost feels like a miracle. After eventually buying an arcade cabinet and a Model 1 board, I learned something I hadn’t realized before: Model 1 supported high-resolution monitors, unlike the standard displays used by most home systems. In those days, the average gamer didn’t even think about screen resolution, so seeing Virtua Fighter on a high-resolution arcade monitor created a fundamentally different experience from the home versions. When I first played Virtua Fighter on the Sega Saturn, I remember feeling that something was missing. At the time, I assumed it was simply the lower polygon count, but after seeing the original hardware in action, I realized that the difference in resolution also played a huge role. Sega’s arcade games—especially those built on the Model 1, Model 2, and Model 3 platforms—represent the peak of the company’s technological achievements. That’s one of the reasons I enjoy collecting them so much. Since home console conversions could never fully capture the original experience, the authentic arcade versions have a unique charm that’s hard to replicate. Even today, playing them on the original hardware is a great reminder of why Sega was considered the king of arcade gaming during the 1990s.
