👾 Retro Gaming Weekly News #0055
Welcome to issue #55 – a bit of a quiet news week this week – however this week we cover a Sonic mystery, Vimms lair, the best double dragon games and much more.
Can you guess the game that was released in time this week from the below riddle (answer at the end)?
In the week of July 31, 1992, a game took flight,
On a console where dreams reached new heights.
With a blue blur that zips through the zone,
Embark on a quest, you’re never alone.
Collect golden rings, speed through the land,
In this platforming adventure, it’s all grand.
Foiling the plans of a villainous foe,
With every leap, watch the hero go!
