ChinnyVision - Ep 429 - BBC Micro, Electron, C64, Spectrum, MSX, CPC, Amiga, Atari ST
In an era before everything had to be in 3D, Nick Pelling gave the world this groundbreaking game. Released pretty much every system avaliable, 3D Pool is..... well Pool in 3D.
ChinnyVision looks at the game on the BBC Micro, Electron, C64, Spectrum, MSX, Atari ST and Amiga. It's a pretty late commercial game for the Beeb so how will it stack up against the other 8 bits and newer 16 bits?
Amsoft were one of the most prolific software houses for the Amstrad CPC. Over 160 titles, of which about 100 were games and were nearly all published in a 3 year period starting from 1984. But what kind of output were they producing for the Amstrad CPC beyond the free pack in games? ChinnyVision finds out!

In the days of budget games, often the magazine reviews were several weeks behind. So you had no reliable guide as to what was good and what was not. So you had to study the covers to decide what game to buy. ChinnyVision takes a look at budget game covers versus pesky reality with some of our favourite Mastertronic (and others) games.
