“Smash TV crashed into the arcades, Kick Off 2 kicked the other soccer games in to touch, Midnight Resistance impressed all and Italy 1990 topped the All Formats Top 20 Chart…” That was August 1990 and this is ‘Back in Time’, Out-of-Print Archive’s monthly lookback at the classic video gaming magazines twenty years ago, which is written by this author. To accompany the biggest edition of ‘Back in Time’ yet, with 20 magazine titles covered, a handful of online articles were selected from the magazines: Amiga Action’s review of Kick Off II, The Games Machine’s review of Venus The Flytrap (Amiga), Computer & Video Game’s review of Smash TV (Arcade) and YC’s review of Murder (C64).
