Pushover (game)
''Push-Over'' is a puzzle-platform game developed by Red Rat Software and published by Ocean Software in 1992 for the Amiga, Atari ST, MS-DOS, and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was sponsored by Smiths' British snack Quavers (now owned by Walkers), and the plot revolves around the then Quavers mascot Colin Curly losing his Quavers packets down a giant ant hill. The player is tasked with controlling G.I. Ant, a large soldier ant, to recover the Quavers by solving a series of puzzles. The Super NES version lacks the Quavers branding, and instead the aim is to recover bundles of cash dropped down the ant hill by Captain Rat. Gameplay The game consists of 100 levels of increasing complexity over nine different themed worlds. Each level features several interconnected platforms holding a number of "dominoes". The aim is to rearrange the dominoes, such that with a single push, all of the dominoes are toppled, thus opening the exit to the next level. There are 11 di ...

Atari ST Games
Atari () is a brand name that has been owned by several entities since its inception in 1972. It is currently owned by French holding company Atari SA (formerly Infogrames) and its focus is on "video games, consumer hardware, licensing and blockchain". The original Atari, Inc., founded in Sunnyvale, California, United States in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney, was a pioneer in arcade games, home video game consoles, and home computers. The company's products, such as ''Pong'' and the Atari 2600, helped define the electronic entertainment industry from the 1970s to the mid-1980s. In 1984, as a result of the video game crash of 1983, the assets of the home console and computer divisions of the original Atari Inc. were sold off to Jack Tramiel's Tramel Technology Ltd., which then renamed itself to Atari Corporation, while the remaining part of Atari, Inc. was renamed Atari Games Inc. In early 1985, Warner established a new corporation jointly with Namco subsequently named Ata ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Advergames
An advergame (portmanteau of "advertisement" and "video game") is a form of advertising in video games, in which the video game is developed by or in close collaboration with a corporate entity for purposes of advertising a brand-name product. While other video games may use in-game advertising (such as an advertisement on a virtual billboard or branding on an in-game object), an advergame is differentiated by the Interactive Advertising Bureau as a "game specifically designed around heproduct or service being advertised". An advergame is considered a type of advertainment. Advergames are utilized to capture the consumer's attention more effectively than regular advertisements because of the medium and its interactivity. If the player is positive towards the game, they will likely have positive feelings for the product advertised as well. Advergames are commonly targeted to minors, who tend to be more responsive to persuasive messages that can be embedded in such games. Concerns ha ...

Amiga Power
''Amiga Power'' (''AP'') was a monthly magazine about Amiga video games. It was published in the United Kingdom by Future Publishing and ran for 65 issues, from May 1991 to September 1996. History The first issue of ''Amiga Power'' was published in May 1991 after Future Publishing decided, in response to feedback from readers of its magazine '' Amiga Format'', to launch two further magazines with narrowed interests, the other being '' Amiga Shopper''. Whereas the latter would focus on the "serious" side of Amiga computers involving programming and productivity, ''Amiga Power'' would be wholly tailored to the gaming audience. Joining the magazine were Matt Bielby and Gary Penn, previously editors of '' Your Sinclair'' and '' The One'', respectively, with Bielby being its first editor and Penn as a consultant. Early in the magazine's history, from its inception, ''Amiga Power'' supplied copies of each issue with a coverdisk containing a full game, distributed to the reader f ...

Zero (video Game Magazine)
''Zero'' was a video game magazine in the UK, published monthly by Dennis Publishing Ltd. between November 1989 and October 1992. (Actual publication dates were in the preceding month, as usual for UK magazines.) It won the InDin Magazine of the Year award in both 1990 and 1991, and was also briefly the best-selling multi-format 16-bit computer magazine in the UK.

The One Amiga
''The One'' is a discontinued video game magazine in the United Kingdom which covers 16-bit home gaming during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was first published by EMAP in October 1988 and started with computer games for the Atari ST, Amiga, and IBM PC compatible markets. Like many similar magazines, it contains sections of news, game reviews, previews, tips, help guides, columnist writings, readers' letters, and cover-mounted disks of game demos. The magazine was sometimes criticised for including "filler" content such as articles on Arnold Schwarzenegger with the justification that an upcoming film had a computer game tie-in. History In 1988 the 16-bit computer scene was beginning to emerge. With Commodore's Amiga and Atari's ST starting to gain more and more coverage in the multi format titles, EMAP decided it was time for a dedicated magazine aimed at the user of these 16-bit computers. ''The One for 16-Bit Games'' was launched and covered the Atari ST, Amiga, and P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amiga Format
''Amiga Format'' was a British monthly computer magazine for Amiga computers, published by Future Publishing. The magazine lasted 136 issues from 1989 to 2000. The magazine was formed when Future split '' ST/Amiga Format'' into two separate publications (the other being '' ST Format''). The magazine's coverage extended to hardware, software, as well as video games. It is known to have provided each issue with a cover disk containing an assortment of demos and usually free-of-charge software and games, popularising the concept among its rival magazines. At its peak, in the first half of 1992, the magazine's circulation averaged 161,256 copies per issue. The magazine would encourage the user to back up, in other words, duplicate the magazine cover disks in case there was a problem with the master disk later on, for example, disk errors. The magazine cover disk is bootable and loaded exactly like commercial software on the Amiga, although there were some disks that required the u ...

ST Action
This is a list of video game magazines. The primary focus of the magazines in this list is or was video game journalism for at least part of their run. For general computing magazines that may also cover games, consult the list of computer magazines. Overview Journalist reporting and evaluation of video games in periodicals began from the late 1970s to 1980 in general coin-operated industry magazines like ''Play Meter'' and ''RePlay'', home entertainment magazines like ''Video'', as well as magazines focused on computing and new information technologies like ''InfoWorld'' or ''Popular Electronics''. However, dedicated magazines focusing primarily on video game journalism wouldn't appear until late in 1981, when several magazines were launched independently of each other at about the same time. ''Computer and Video Games'' premiered in the U.K. in November 1981. It was soon followed by ''Electronic Games'' in the US, founded by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz and Joyce Worley, who had pr ...
