I remember playing new zealand story on the amiga and spectrum zx
(got the spctrum game for 3 quid)
take too long and that devil like thing comes to get you
never played it for long enough to ever get very far, saved a few kiwi birds though, and fired a fair few arrows.
would deserve remake if other titles are getting remade from the "retro" days.

I remember New Zealand Story.

I was stuck on this big whale boss until one day I let it eat me. I then proceeded to kill it from the inside! :-D

Chuckie Egg? very vague memories...

Rainbow Islands? I loved that game!
Doesn't it star the same characters as Bust a Move?

New Zealand Story ROCKED! It was SUCH a good game! I used to have it on my old Amiga 500 (which I actually still have along with my 500+ and 600) but I seem to have lost it. Hmmm (starts rummaging through old disk cases in hope of success)...

Chuckie Egg was a great game, simple idea but extremely addictive. It was the most played game on my old Amstrad.

Chuckie Egg 2 was rubbish, just another platformer but Chuckie Egg is a classic. Some company's bound to put it on a compilation retro cart for GBA.

Chuckie Egg was amazing in it's time, but I played a PC conversion of it recently and I got bored really quickly. If you want to download it just try a yahoo search.

New Zealand Story! I had it on the Amstrad! The little bird with the bow and arrow? I loved that game!

It's a little know fact that Chuckie Egg was impossible to complete!

You know you had to make the choco eggs with the little gifts inside, well because of a programming oversight, they didn't put a specific number of eggs you had to make and therefore it went on forever! hahaha, nice one. Still a damn good game tho!

The New Zeland Story was another classic. i rememebr playing that in a arcade in Newquay for the first time and being blow away - plus the Amiga conversion was excellent. Do you remember the warp fans that would let you skip levels? You could find them by shooting a certain bit of the level five times - cool or what!

If anyone can tell me what the infinite lives cheat code was for the Amiga verison of New Zeland Story i'll be very impressed. It was quite (in)famous at the time, with every computer mag falling over themselves to print it - albeit in a slightly altered form ;-) I think this is why it's stuck in my head ofr all these years!

So does anyone know?
