Whenever I see the iconic logo from this incredible game I get a boost of energy. Deuteros is incredible, as was its predecessor Millennium.

Indeed, old chum. 'tis a shame they had such strict time limits. Many a mediocre game could have been elevated into classics given enough time.

Looks like an average shooter with above average graphics to me. The horizontal space is a tad cramped. Might be fun played with two players as I imagine that would get chaotic in a fun way indeed. Can't rate the game since I've never played it, but for the video it's a solid 4/5. Tally ho!

Some great games in this video, old chum! My favorites are Simulcra, which is absolutely fantastic, and Bolo which has a nice aesthetic especially for an early game. šŸ‘

Not bowled over by this, but I'm glad they tried something different!

Another decent shoot 'em up, nothing special. I did enjoy this as a kid and would run this in an emulator gladly for 5 to 10 minutes any day. The graphics are rather nice! 3/5 from yours truly šŸ›©ļø šŸ‘

Mr LGR dude, sir, you do indeed have a good taste in aesthetics!

Which is best and why?
- Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge
- Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 2

The objective truth is: Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge šŸš—

This title holds a special place in my heart. I absolutely loved this as a kid. Not a particularily great or epic game but great fun nonetheless. There's a superb sountrack and the game somehow managed to discover a non-grating take on flip screen scrolling 3/5 šŸ‘

As far as I know, they were under tight time constraints back then. Devs had to develop their games under very demanding schedules often to the detriment of the products.

A game indeed hampered by its horizontal scrolling. However, the nifty vertical scrolling combined with the wonderful title theme almost makes up for it. 3/5 from yours truly. šŸ‘

There don't seem to be many bad conversions of this one. 🌈

A fine game, this, if a bit prone to slow-down. 3/5 from me. However I grant 4.9/5 for this video including 0.9 points for the golden haircut!

I didn't know you were fluent in Spanish. You do indeed wear a number of hats, squire. Muy bien!

The teleportation bonus in Gauntlet II, of course and it's right there in the video! My second favorite bonus in a video game would be probably the plain health crystal in Wacky Chums in Orange Juice šŸ˜‰
