Favourite Online Game

Birdz is a novel cascading reels game with a 6-step bonus trail, designed to keep the cascades flowing. Each winning cascade increases the trail position by one. Then, on a losing cascade, the bonus on the current trail position is activated. If the bonus results in a win, the game continues. The game ends only when a spin or a cascade results in no winning lines with the trail position at zero.

Reviews

Buggy Boy - ST Action - June 1988
All of the basic addictiveness of its arcade parent is here, along with its large, bold and colourful graphics. The buggy is superbly animated and its trundles, leans and bounces are a joy to watch.
Buggy Boy - ZZap64 - October 1988
A very addictive conversion with highly addictive qualities. A must have for fans of the racing genre.
Buggy Boy - Retro Gamer - February 2024
The closest to the coin-op in overall look and feel was the Atari ST version.
Live and Let Die - ST Amiga Format - January 1989
This is an impressive action game. With lightning speeds and realistic rocks, mines and other obstacles the game soon becomes an addiction you'll not want to give up.
Paperboy - The One - September 1989
This is an almost flawless conversion in virtually every aspect.
Pheenix - Home Computer Weekly - 11 October 1983
Superb presentation, graphics and sound. Highly recommended.
Pheenix - Crash magazine - April 1984
One of the classics.
