It's not a hard task to conjure up a list of great Commodore 64 games when you're faced with a software library that's reportedly around the 10,000 mark. Between late 1982 and 1993, an almost constant stream of software highlights kept interest in the machine alive long after its logical sell-by date, so it's hardly surprising that the nostalgia value surrounding its finest games still runs high.

Honestly, these Dynasty Warriors reviews almost write themselves: Dynasty Warriors is, once again, the game that launched a load of consoles. In the week that Dynasty Warriors 6 (or Shin Sangokumusou 5 as it's known over there) came out in Japan, sales of the PS3 eclipsed the Wii. That's the same sort of sales spike that was triggered by Gundam Musou when it came out, and Dynasty Warriors 2 when it was released back in the early days of the PlayStation 2. And yet - as I point out at the start of every one of these reviews - here in the west, gamers remain resolutely impervious to the unique charms of Koei's battlefield blend of strategy, action, terrible voice-acting, and mental haircuts. And so I ask the same question that I do at the start of every one of these reviews: is this the one that'll fare any differently?

Despite its self-congratulatory (and not very amusing) title, Boulder Dash: Rocks! is based on one of those crusty old relics that we genuinely don't mind coming back to once in a while.

It was, in fact, the first ever home computer game to be turned into an arcade game - something unheard of at the time.

Do you remember the friendly old self-assessment tax return adverts? The ones with that man who says "tax doesn't have to be taxing"? He would be walking along the top of a hill in Newcastle on a cold day, but wrapped up warm, making you think that even though you have no idea how much money you owe the government for not voting for them everything is going to be okay. Anyway, that's over now. The new one is that bloke trapped in an hourglass as the sand slips away beneath his feet and he threatens you with a whopping fine and interest fees if you don't sodding well do your tax pronto chop chop get it in keep up keep up tax doesn't have to be taxing - although you will be crushed or suffocated if you don't do it.
