One of my favorite pastimes is playing the battle that @wargamingscribe.bsky.social has played, more or less following his steps.
What always ends up being a great victory for him...
For me, it's an absolute disaster.

Y cuando uno cree que ya hay suficientes clones de "The Valley"...

The Valley fue un juego muy copiado y versionado en su día (para ser un type-in, era muy elaborado), aunque no esperaba verlo publicado en Estados Unidos como The Amulet para IBM PC prácticamente sin cambios tan tarde como en 1987.

The Amulet
The Amulet fue creado por P. K. Winter para el IBM PC (DOS) en 1983. Aparentemente fue distribuido poco después por Numenor Microsystems (que sería la compañía del propio autor) en Canadá (puede qu…

I had #C64 Vendetta on a System 3 compilation that bizarrely I am no longer in possession of, but no matter. In fact, I think I also had it on those small boxed cassette games that Turrican and Creatures originally came in. This game is good. But it makes it >>>

Both survived because they were so heavily armoured their opponent’s guns couldn’t penetrate.

Gryzor
Contra was never my bag BITD, but I know a lot of people liked it. This #C64 conversion of the European "Gryzor" is pretty ropey. Play Midnight Resistence - it is much better. No 2-PLY, awful graphics, a repetitive SID and a difficulty level so ridiculous it is laughable. Nope.

F-15 Strike Eagle II, released by MicroProse in 1989. Multiple theatres of war, radar, missiles and dogfights, all on a humble DOS PC. Not quite a flight simulator, not quite an arcade game. Just the perfect balance of both.
