Boppie's Great Word Chase

Boppie's Great Word Chase is a classic Commodore 64 game that was released in 1985. Developed by Mindcraft Software, this game was aimed at children and focused on teaching them the importance of spelling and vocabulary in a fun and engaging manner. The game follows the journey of Boppie, a lovable character who is on a quest to collect letters and spell out words. The graphics may seem simple by today's standards, but at the time of its release, they were considered top-notch, with vibrant colors and detailed backgrounds that brought the game to life. The main objective of the game is for players to guide Boppie through a series of levels, each one presenting a different challenge. The levels range from simple spelling exercises to more complex word puzzles, requiring players to strategize and think creatively. It's not just about spelling correctly, but also about finding the most efficient and effective way to reach the end goal. Boppie's Great Word Chase also features a variety of power-ups and obstacles, adding an element of excitement and unpredictability to the gameplay. Players can collect items such as extra lives, speed boosts, and even helpful companions that can aid them in their quest. On the other hand, they must be cautious of hazards like falling letters and enemy characters that can impede their progress. One of the most innovative aspects of this game is the ability for players to customize their own levels. This feature was revolutionary at the time, allowing children to create their own word puzzles and share them with their friends. It not only added to the game's replay value but also encouraged creativity and learning outside of the game itself. Boppie's Great Word Chase was not just a game but also an educational tool for children. With its entertaining gameplay and challenging yet rewarding levels, it made learning vocabulary and spelling enjoyable for kids. Many parents and teachers praised the game for its effectiveness in engaging children in learning, making it a popular choice in schools and homes.

Fleet Sweep

DOS 1983
Freddy Fish, Fleet Sweep, and Spyder are three arcade classics from Mirror Images Software, arguably one of the most obscure game developers in history. Like Windmill Software, Mirror Images produced games 'inspired' (to put it mildly) by well-known arcade classics, most often ATARI games. All of them play quite well, but don't really offer any innovation that differentiates them from the original classics. Of this trio, Spyder is probably the best game of the lot: you shoot spiders falling from the ceiling, and there are a few surprises in the later levels to keep things interesting. Fleet Sweep is a lot of fun, but it gets tedious after a while when a bunch of fish fill the screen. All three games, except Spyder, suffer from rapid repetition, but they will hold your interest for at least a few minutes. If you want to pick the best game of the lot, try Spyder, check out Freddy Fish and leave Fleet Sweep alone.

Hide & Sink

DOS 1983
The paper-and-pencil game Battleship gets another digital translation, pitting man against machine in a grid-based round of sea warfare. Both sides receive five ships each - of varying sizes - and hide them on their respective game boards, invisible to the opponent. Each side then proceeds to take turns firing, selecting a target grid position. When all the squares occupied by a ship are hit, it is sunk; the first player to destroy the entire enemy fleet dominates the waves. The player has 3 game variants to choose from: Hide & Sink - the basic game, with one shot per turn.Super-Hide & Sink - the number of shots is limited, but an optional missile launch is added each turn (either from the submarine or the patrol boat).Super-Salvo Hide & Sink - as above, plus multiple shots per turn (depending on the number of ships the attacker has left).Each of these can optionally be played in 'night' mode, which hides the type/size of the target until totaled.
