Zapped to the Past

In the month of January 1991 many games were released for the Commodore 64. In episode one-hundred-and-sixty-nine of Zapped to the Past, we continue our look at some of those games, including the not quite Spy Who Loved Me, the rogue Robocop 2 and the cheery Chip’s Challenge and wonder just how many James Bond puns a podcast can fit into less than two minutes!?

Games covered in this episode:

• Robocop 2

In episode six of Battle of the Pilots, Adrian and Graham from the Zapped to the Past podcast have chosen the pilot episodes for two somewhat obscure action hero based shows from the dark depths of 90s TV land for a head to head battle. This time the undoubtedly roid rage infused sword wielding bodybuilding muscles of Conan the Adventurer go loincloth to bycocket hat with the cross, longbow and arrow crammed Quivers of The Legend of William Tell. Let battle commence!

As we gather ourselves together after the rollercoaster ride that was 1990, we once again take on all of the burning questions from our amazing Patrons in our Discord channel in an Ask the Podcast special. Hope you enjoy!

1990 is now but a memory of an eggy old time - but in keeping with Zapped to the Past tradition we now take a look back and cast a weepy and often twitchy eye over the all the games we have played from the issues of Zzap magazine from January to December 1990. The purpose of this crazy scheme - to award those games that have somehow managed to impress or entertain us with our annual Golden Breadbin Awards. Did something have the best visuals? Was there a best game? How many worst games can there be? There is only one way to know for sure…

The running order of the awards:
