    OSTRICH WARRIORS

    Hi Retro Gamer,

    Am I going mad or did an arcade game once come out that let you ride an ostrich? I can’t remember if it’s a fever dream or not, but I definitely recall an arcade game that let you ride around on the flightless bird and kill things. Great mag, by the way.

    Don’t worry James, you’re not mad. We’re confident you’re remembering Battle Circuit. It’s easy to play, too, as the scrolling fighter features on the Capcom Beat-’em-up Bundle with six other games.

    ARCADES FOREVER

    Hey Retro Gamer!

    First of all, great magazine. It brings back lots of great memories being a kid growing up in the, (my dad’s favourite!) and many more. I would love to see an issue or book devoted solely to the Eighties and Nineties arcade experience. Great memories!
