Classics rock

As an avid reader and a 45-year-old gamer, I would like to say great work on your recent retro gaming retrospect­ives over the past 12 months or so. With so many remakes and remasters currently available for the PS4, it’s great that so many younger gamers can participat­e in some of yesteryear’s best games. In regard to this, we have numerous Atari 2600 and Sega Mega Drive remasters in circulatio­n from the past few generation­s, yet there has never been an Amiga collection available for any of the consoles. I understand that licensing issues or missing/lost game code could be a factor in this. To be able to relive classics such as Sensible World Of Soccer (best football game ever), Cannon Fodder, Elite, Elite 2: Frontier, Turrican 1-4, Uridium 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, Flashback, Alien Breed 1 and 2, Syndicate, and possibly the hardest game game ever made (dream on, Dark Souls trilogy) Impossible Mission, would be a great nostalgic trip for gamers of my ilk but also show younger gamers that the Amiga was one of the best gaming platforms in the late ’80s/early ’90s. Wayne Dannatt via email Some games do head to the PS Store, like Another World, but you’re right, in a world obsessed with pixel art Metroidvan­ias, where’s Turrican? For more retro, flip back to page 14 to fnd out about the PlayStatio­n Classic and all its fab games.

WE NEED A WAY TO GIFT/ TRANSFER PURCHASES ON PSN AS I COULD PASS MY GAMES ON TO OTHER PEOPLE.
