ROUNDUP

It’s labelled as version 0.9 right now, but Omega Blast is a new scrolling shoot-’em-up for the Mega Drive and the preview release looks spectacular! It’s a time-limited score attack game so the player is given two minutes to rack up as many points as possible. Kikstart.me.uk/omega-blast-prv-md goes to the developer’s website, and the download is near the bottom of the page.

Over on the Amiga there’s a far simpler but still enjoyable game. Dino Run is based on the hidden error screen game from Google’s Chrome browser where the player controls a dinosaur as it runs along through a monochromatic scrolling landscape, making it jump and duck around the various hazards. Kikstart.me.uk/dino-run-amiga has download links for a floppy image or files for your hard disk.
