Hello there everybody! Hope you’re all feeling hale and hearty after your holiday festivities. And look outside, it’s a brand new year! You could do anything you want to. Like, for instance, you could idle away your morning playing a bunch of retro games released about a hundred years ago.
Bundle Stars’ Pioneer Bundle packs up eight classic titles, from pirate simulators and spy games to fantasy quests and World War Two tank combat.
For the very reasonable price of £2.79 you’ll net yourself; Sid Meier’s Colonization, Sid Meier’s Covert Action, Sid Meier’s Pirates! Gold Plus, B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th, Silent Service, Dragonsphere, Command H.Q., and Across The Rhine. You can find out more about each title on the bundle’s webpage, but rest assured - that’s a roll call of some impressive pedigree.
Covert Action, in which you play as super-spy Max Remington (great name), in particular has always intrigued me. The sheer ambition of early game developers always astounds me; in this one you do everything from wire-tapping to robbing mansions to choosing which sports car to drive. All equally important.
Intriguing, even if gaming legend Sid Meier isn’t that fond of it.
