Stew's Retro Reviews
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2014
Started my channel in September 2021.
I'm a bloke who has in the last 3 years, gradually became a massive Retro gamer, as I was starting to get a little bored with the PC gaming scene, and being stuck in the house due to restrictions at the time etc.
I gutted my old garden shed and turned it into a gaming shed with 8bit computers and 16bit consoles.
So this is a completely new thing for me on TH-cam, and I must admit, something I am not used to! 😆
Anyway, I hope you all like and enjoy my journey for you in showing my game reviews from my childhood computer, Zx
Spectrum especially, as well as the PC Commodore 64 and Amiga 500, Mega Drive, PSP, Wii, SMS, and a few Gamecube games as.well
This is just for you Retro gamers...enjoy!👍🏻
All gameplay, reviews and a laugh, mainly from the gaming shed.. 🕹 😊✌️ 🏴
New channel link for you PC gamers, please check it out.

Classic shoot em up here on the Amiga 500 here. Bit gutted my disk version doesn't work any more mind, but emulation does help with problems like this. A brilliant Astroids clone with modern elements in it, and those some funky 90s tunes thrown in too. Please out my PC gaming channel as I would like the subs to grow eventually.

Zx Spectrum cover tape game, any good?
Pretty colorful graphics! Looks fun!
@AngryDadGaming Hey dude, it's a pretty good Star Wars arcade clone here 😆 👌 Great gameplay for a 48k Zx Spectrum man, and this game really takes me back when I was a kid and loved Star Wars films at the time. It's definitely worth a blast I'd say bud 👍 Thanks for the visit ✌️ 😊
Very nice mate, there's a few like this on the 64 but they don't seem to move as well as that.
@retrotap Ok bud, I've never played any of these kind of games on the C64, but would be interesting to have a go mate, but a great version here of a copy Star Wars arcade 😆 and yes, it's really enjoyable, and moves well on the speccy too 👍 Thanks for the visit pal ✌️ 😊
I never played this one Paul but do remember the box, such a blatant copy but it looks real good, I will have to buy a copy of this👍
@retroimportgamer513 Morning James, oh god mate, remember a mate saying this looked just like Star Wars arcade, jesus, it's virtually an exact copy mate, even has the death Star in it man 😆 🤣 But yeah, James, it's certainly a Star Wars classic copy alright lol, with great gameplay too though 👌 Worth getting bud 😊 Thanks for watching pal 👍
I always found these type of games looked great and this does look great for its time 😊😊
@raza_is_retro Hi Raza, oh yes, for the time when I was a kid, a Star Wars arcade in my house, the closest thing anyway 😆 Happy memories dude 👍 Thanks for watching pal, enjoy ya week ✌️ 😊
Great review ☘️
The graphics looked really cool! Really feel like you’re in an x-wing 😊
@bundjohn Hey John, yeah, it's a great game coming out in 84, and It was my Star Wars Arcade in my house back I'm the day, got to love those vector graphics still 😀 👍 Thanks for watching bud ✌️ 😊
Very impressive looking game for the speccy this one paul mate but looks a hard one especially the tower tops part. Got my vote in dude 🙂👍
@gallowaygaming75 Hey Glen, got no chance on the very hard level, but can't have it easy all the time mate 😆 It's a good game, and my Star Wars arcade buddy but I think I lost the force big time mind 😆 And cheers for voting Glen, it's just a bit of fun but who knows 😊 Thanks for watching dude ✌️ 😊
Looks very good
@gullpayne Hey mate, yeah it's a good un, love the vector graphics 👌 Thanks for stopping by pal 👍 😊
Looks quite fun 😊
@@paultheretrogamer Hey Paul, a decent Star Wars arcade on the Spectrum I'd say mate 👍 Thanks for stopping by 😊 ✌️
That looks really good, considering
@@RetroClaire Hi Claire, I played this a lot as was a massive fan of the Star Wars arcade with those vector graphics, and felt I had my own version on my TV 😃 Nice graphics and it moves quite fast too, speccy classic Claire. Thanks for watching 😊 ✌️
Good luck with yotm 🙂
@@RetroClaire Thanks Claire 👍
"Woss keys?" was a familiar refrain back in the day. Impressive wire-frame graphics for 1984. Can't remember this one, though. 😁👍
Ok Marco, it's a good game to go back too mate, one of my favourite arcade games was Star Wars arcade, so this was the perfect alternative on my Zx Spectrum, and it played better than the original SW game I thought. Sure the ship looks more like a snow speeder mind 😂 Thanks for watching pal ✌️ 😊
"2 meters, that's impossible!?!" "It's not impossible. I used to bullseye whomp-rats back home, in my T-16. They can't be much bigger than 2 meters!"
Hey Jon, Never tell me the odds lol, I need some glasses mate, I would be no good defeating the Empire me 😂 Love a bit of Star Wars chat, It's a Trap!!! Haha Cheers for watching pal ✌️ 😊
The best like Nice BRO ❤❤
Thanks for the visit buddy, a classic old style shoot em up 👌

Hey dude, I'm impatient and haven't got all day, hate long intros 😂 Great game, though buddy, and a classic Astroids clone, gotta love those 90s tunes bud 👌 Just did a half marathon today in 1.28, tough slog and chilling now after a few beers, cheers for watching pal ✌️ 😊

Very good job, I enjoy watching your interesting video.

A great looking game on the amiga, as you mentioned though, not easy 😂 Good luck.
@@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 Hey David, I forgot how much I liked this game back in the day mate, really well made Astroids clone here, loved the 90s techno music too. Wish I'd got the Hyperspace bit after the big boss there, I used to think that part was so cool back in the 90s, next time maybe 🤣 Cheers for watching dude, GNR tommorrow, and then a few deserved beers I think 🏃♂️ 🍻 😊 Cheers for watching pal, have a good weekend ✌️ 😊
@@stewsretroreviews I covered it years back, I didn't get to the tunnel level either 🤣
Never played this one Paul buddy but looks great. Think I might have played the sequel.
@@Tetlee Morning Lee, a game I played a lot in the 90s mate, gutted my disk doesn't work anymore, but god for emulation mate, it comes in handy now and again 🤣 The sequel was good, but I liked this one more, it's a shame I next got passed that big boss, as you go in thr hyperspace part which I thought was amazing at the time. Cheers for watching buddy, and have a great weekend, GNR for me, and of course beers afterwards ✌️😊 🍻
SWOS is one of the best games ever made in my opinion. Its perfect. My most played Amiga game of all time to this day.
A very original intro to the game isn't it Paul🤣 I've never played it on the actual Amiga but I had this on the CD32, remember it being a cracking game Still looks and sounds good and it's pink & blue....winner👍
@@retroimportgamer513 Hi James, yeah I couldn't wait for that intro to finish, man 😆 🤣 This is still a cracking game, and I forgot how much I used to enjoy it, and those 90 tunes are still mint too 👌 I thought it was out for the CD32 mate, you should definitely give it a go James, sure you'd get right back into it again. Cheers for watching pal, and have a cracking weekend pal ✌️ 😊
Stardust is a classic I tried this on a mates Amiga many years ago and it still looks good on the eye and that music is excellent Paul mate. Hope your enjoying the beer dude 🙂👍
Ok Glen, this is a great shoot em up still after all these years, and the gamplay is still mint mate, glad you had a go back in the day too, a classic Astroids clone. And I've just done the Great North 5k tonight and had a pint afterwards with my bro and his girlfriend as they ran too. Back home now, but not drinking till after the GNR finish line 😂 🍻 Cheers for watching pal, enjoy your beer bud 🍺
@@stewsretroreviews don't you worry Paul I will double my intake of alcohol when I'm at the matches for dunston so you don't miss out 🤣👍
@@gallowaygaming75 I certainly won't after my GNR mate, beers all round lol, enjoy the match dude 👍
Dear me, Alan Hansen would have had something to say about the defending for Germany's third goal! Where were your centre-backs? :) What a tense finish to the Northern Ireland game :) The menu music is great, even better than the music in SWOS, which was also good. I loved Sensi but after playing Pro Evo on my PS2 for a few years I tried going back (via a modern PC version re-release in about 2005) and I couldn't get used to the speed (not to mention not having a proper joystick to use! Needs an old school Amiga joystick to play Sensi properly, in my opinion). I used to have good skills as a kid on Sensi, my brain must have been running at double its current clock speed :) I played against my mates occasionally, my brother too, though I usually beat him handily and it wasn't long before he quit in frustration (him being AC Milan or Man United and me still beating him with Maccabi Haifa didn't go down well) :). I got so much out of Sensi in single player, it was my go-to game for years.
@danyoutube7491 Hey Dan, I used to be good at this as well mate, but I'm not so good now as you can see 😆 🤣 I played this a lot when I was young with my brother and mates. It was amazing 👍 I'll always love this footy game though mate, its a classic and still my favourite Amiga game 😃 Cheers for watching pal ✌️ 😊

Discovered this game some years ago, fantastic. Always enjoy a round of Asteroids, but adding great graphics and other elements just makes it even more fantastic. Great video 😊
Hello mate, I have to agree this is a fantastic Astroids clone, I was never a big Astroids fan in the arcades really, but this version is brilliant, excellent gameplay, fantastic graphics and all the little extras too. Glad you enjoyed it buddy, have a great weekend pal ✌️ 😊
Loved this game back in the 90s, a brilliant Astroids clone as its best here 👌

Thanks Ari mate, it's certainly challenging my friend, I can't believe so didn't get to my favourite bit in going into hyper space, god I loved that bit after the big boss screen, it looked amazing the time. An Amiga classic this one bud 👍 Cheers for watching from the Uk 🇬🇧

Nice List ! my top 10 is different id have Dungeon Master - that game was genre defining Xenon 2 megablast - that had a pumping theme and is arguably the best blaster The Settlers Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2 Dyna Blaster - was a blast with mates, (ha see what I did there :) ) Carrier Command Defender of the Crown Hired Guns Dune SpeedBall 2 and Sensi Soccer but im already over 10 ! a few other notable mentions like StarGlider, Mercenary, Rocket Ranger, Battle Chess, Star Wars, Pang plus to many others to mention. [EDIT] for deleting a typo :)

Jimmy White's and Lotus 2, super games - if you could only pick two games to play on the Amiga, they wouldn't be bad choices. I would never have thought I could enjoy a snooker game before I played that, really impressed me (watching the real thing on TV was guaranteed to put me to sleep! Does anyone else remember those long weekend afternoons when there was nowt on TV for a kid to watch except things like snooker, horse racing and the football scores being read out, lol. "West Bromwich Albion....1, Preston North End...1").
@@danyoutube7491 Hello Dan, a brilliant snooker game I thought, and I did like snooker back then too 😆 And Lotus 2 is mint too, lots of memories of that one 2 player with my bro and mates. Could have been worse, Ski Sunday mate 😆 🤣 The Amiga was so cool back in the day. Thanks for watching pal ✌️
Those Amiga and Spectrum game boxes are in nice condition (especially the cardboard Amiga ones, they are prone to getting scuffed and torn). Me and my brother (and dad) loved the Amiga, then went over to PCs at the turn of the millenium. My brother had Unreal Tournament 99 I think, and even though we didn't have the internet at that time and therefore couldn't play online, it was really impressive, great graphics (same story with Battlefield 1942, we never played it online! Got the internet just in time for Battlefield 2). Half Life was absolutely mind blowing, a massive step forward in gaming as far as I'm concerned, I don't think there was anything that could compare to it in the late 90s. It was the first 3D shooter where I thought 'yes, this merits all the hype and more'. I was never too fussed about Doom). I bought a PS2 in the early 2000s too, that was a great console, had some fun with it, but the ever increasing loading times as games got more advanced, relatively low resolution graphics and limited save game space meant that I mostly stopped using it by the late 2000s in favour of my PC.
Some good games here. Played Sensible Soccer to death, me and a mate used to set up leagues with 20 teams in it and play a whole season. In single player I took Mansfield Town from League 2 to the Prem and then won every competition thereafter including Champions League (the quadruple). I think it ended after 20 seasons. Other notable games for me included Alien Breed, Apidya, Pinball Dreams / Pinball Fantasies, Walker and loads I forgot now.
@SAFeCRACKeR09 Hello there, that's an astonishing achievement with good old Mansfield Town 👍 Sensible Soccer was and still is one of the best football games ever. Me and brother played it to death back in the day, but nothing like yourself lol. And Pinball Fantasies is one of my faves too. Thanks for watching my friend, appreciated ✌️ 😊 ⚽️

@@stewsretroreviews congrats, buddy. I missed out, but I'm sure they'll add more dates. I'll even try for tickets in northern/western Europe if possible. I don't mind travelling into mainland Europe, as long as it's not too far inland.😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Hopefully they will add dates for ya bud 👍
I can just imagine what the crowd is going to be like at the oasis concerts. 40 and 50 year old coke heads still thinking they're teenagers, lol. Im going for tickets, but im not standing. I want seats.😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage Yeah me too, don't want to be in the mosh pits mate 😆 🤣 Fingers crossed foe Oasis Randy ✌️ Cheers for watching pal, have a good weekend 🍻 👍
@@stewsretroreviews You too.🍻
Nice video man, thanks for sharing some pixilated history with us.🕹🌠🎵🍀
@Pjvenom1985 No problem mate, we've all had our journey in gaming, and nice to share it with you all 👍 Cheers for watching pal, appreciated ✌️ 😊
I have 4d terrordaktil, it's terrible as I recall 😂. Project-X is a classic, as you mentioned absolutely banging tune. Nice to see a couple of your original collection, shame more didn't survive.
@@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 Hey David, from what I remember, Terror-Daktil was a ok game, probably shit now if I played it 😆 Project X, hard shoot em up, but I loved it mate, think I'll have to review it at some point 👍 Got plenty of disks, but only half them work I'd say now, but Project X coming soon bud, cheers for watching, and have a good weekend 🍻 😊 ✌️
We found at gigs in past some of the crowd can get a bit obnoxious especially if your down on the pitch or in the mosh pit😂, it's memorable nonetheless, just baffles me why they get paroletic before watching these things ✌️😅 We saw U2 in Dublin in the mid 2000's and the atmosphere was amazing and the crowd were mostly great, just the odd knob luckily lol. Think most of us older gamers started with either an Atari era console, 8bit Home computer, or both 😊. Loved the cassette artworks, them tape loading times were not great though were they 😂. Nice one 😎👍
@TheKayliedGamerChannel-TH-cam We were just in front of the most pit lol, old gadgies thinking there still in the 90s man 😆 🤣 Still enjoyed the gig though 👍 And those dam multi-loads, worse when they finished and said R- tape loading error 🤣 Cheers for watching Daz ✌️ 😊
Loving the tunes at the end Paul buddy 😊 shame about Saturday night bud, only need 1 prick to spoil the occasion 😢 I never had a home computer back in the day, I used to bother with a boy for a bit who had a speccy though, I used to love those loading screens 😂
@steve36207 Hey Steve, not really having a proper console back in the day would have been difficult to answer those questions mate lol. So I hope this was ok for everyone, me rambling on about what I had in the 80s and 90s haha. The gig was still great Steve, just the odd weirdos about 🙄 🤣 and would still recommend them both. I'm hoping to get some tickets for Oasis tommorrow, think I'll be lucky mind as it is going to sell out fast, fingers crossed haha. Cheers for watching pal, and have a great weekend dude ✌️ 😊
