Overkoban
(Futility Games, 2013)
Reviewed by Missas
Overkoban was an entrant in CPCWiki's 16KB ROM game development
competition held in 2013. The game begins with an amazing tune. Personally
speaking, this is one of the best CPC tunes ever. The game has 50 levels and it
is a brilliant puzzle game. The player needs to move the boxes to the correct
positions to progress to the next level. The graphics are good and colourful but
there is almost no in-game sound. Nevertheless, the music is simply amazing. The
gameplay is great; the levels are very well designed and the difficulty level
rises progressively. The grab factor is stronger than the grab of a wrestler!
Overall, any CPC gamer needs to have at least one look at this terrific game.
These are the fullest 16 kilobytes of mind-bending action you will ever
experience!

The world has been devastated, the ozone layer disappeared long ago and so
people have to live in isolated underground cities. Only the overlanders dare to
face the perils of the outside world, delivering cargo between cities in their
heavily armed cars. That is, for a price. Needless to say that the money earned
for each delivery will allow you to buy better weapons and improvements for your
car. Regarding graphics and sound, Overlander is quite an average game,
almost a Spectrum conversion. Nevertheless, the gameplay makes it an interesting
game, with a Mad Max touch that the player will enjoy, at least for a
while.

Oxphar
(ERE Informatique, 1987)
You have been transported from Earth to the land of Do. Your name is now Oxphar
and your quest is to find the blue stone of Savanah. Do is a surreal land of
fantasy in which you will meet many different kinds of characters, both human
and non-human. At the start of the game, you are carrying nothing, but picking
up a bank card will allow you to access the armoury. Objects can be taken from
it and used appropriately, but this is where this French adventure game
disappoints. It's not at all obvious what the objects are; you can't examine
them, or your surroundings, and you can't talk to any of the characters. Most
players will have considerable difficulty in working out the use of the large
majority of the objects. The pictures accompanying each location are
astoundingly beautiful and well drawn, but they're wasted on a mediocre game
such as this one.
