  1. Black Tiger was always one of my favourite action-platformers. I used to play this at the bowling alley in town and, along with Rygar and Rolling Thunder, is part of my action-platformer trifecta. I’ve played a lot of all of them over the years but only finished Rygar.

    Classic, late 80s graphics with a great use of colour palette throw around some inventive and challenging creatures requiring different combat strategies to defeat. Hidden items are everywhere!

    Playing this game for the challenge has been a real treat as I’ve got further than ever, defeating the Knight boss and getting a big score. And, as I stare at the high-score table, I see a friend’s initials LNZ at the top, 100K above my best. Though it was set ten years ago, thanks to MAME hiscore.dat, it still taunts me.

  2. In MAME, I noticed that you can only move in “Treasure Island” when hitting the diagonals. You mentioned that this would have been installed in a cocktail cabinet in the early 80s with a 4-way joystick rotated 45-degrees. But I think it was probably an 8-way that made you hit diagonals. According to the klov, it is an 8-way game with a jump button. The latter is incorrect as you cannot jump, but only throw. This also might be the first isometric game (before Zaxxon).
