The page mentions Phil King as if that is a name I should be familiar with. This game was just before my time, is this some industry big-shot I should know about but missed?
- SyneRyder 11y agoPhil King was one of the longest serving reviewers of Zzap!64 magazine (mid 1989 through to January 1993), so his opinion would be particularly valued / experienced. Zzap! let their reviewers have their own personality/character, so you got to know your favorite reviewers over time if you were a regular reader. For anyone who wants to read the original Zzap!64 review of Daffy Duck, it was in Issue 87 on pages 12 & 13 - but sadly the scans are currently offline: http://www.zzap64.co.uk/cgi-bin/displayissue.pl?issue=087&magazine=zzap http://www.zzap64.co.uk/cgi-bin/displayissue.pl?issue=087&ma...
- CapTVK 11y agoThe scans are also available on archive.org https://archive.org/details/zzap64-magazine-087 https://archive.org/details/zzap64-magazine-087 Glad to see Mort's (zzap64.co.uk) scanning efforts were not for nought. He has scanned a lot of British comp magazines not just Zzap64. And Zzap64 was pure gold in it's heyday (mid-80's). Do check out the earlier issues. Especially things like the developer diaries (Andrew Braybrook's "Birth of a Paradroid") or the special columns like Mel Croucher's "classic computer cock ups".
