About Retro Blitz
NEWS: Retro Blitz is the "Remake of the Month" in GamesTM magazine in the UK this month. Many thanks!
You don't have the fuel to reach the airport and you have the unenviable task of bombing the city flat to make your own landing strip. Luckily you were able to radio for help and the city has been evacuated. Can you save the day (and your own hide) by destroying everything below, before your altitude drops too low?
These days many games claim to be "retro" or "retro inspired" but many of them are not truly retro.
Retro Blitz is the true retro experience.
Features:-
Blocky movement.
Low resolution screen.
Single colour UDG style graphics.
Genuine 8-bit sound effects.
If you had an computer in the 1980s you are sure to recognise this game - in fact you may have typed something very similar in from a magazine using your very own fingers.
Now you can carry a taste of that long gone golden age with you in your pocket where-ever you go.
IMPORTANT: I have been notified that on some handsets graphics do not appear, or the game is locked into portrait mode. This will be fixed soon. I am waiting on an update to the software I used to create this game. Please be patient. Thank you.

Game History & Updates
What's Changed
Changed how the graphics were drawn to the screen, and now it should work on Asus Transformer, NEXUS 7, among others that it failed on before. The border is a bit larger but hopefully getting it to work was worth it. Thanks for baring with me.
Please email me or contact me if you have any problems.

Had this when I was younger (many moons ago) only trouble was my parents enjoyed it a bit too much and would stay up for hours playing it. Great to be able to play it again

This was the first game on a home computer that I ever played on my Vic-20 and it was my favourite and play it for hours just tapping the space button! You then you re made this game a fair few years ago on pc and loved it again and now I have it on my phone from 1983 to 2015 and still great. Wish it had a leaderboard but then I would play it even more! Thx

The plane moves far too fast on level 1. The original started much slower. Great re-creation otherwise.

Plays so much like the original classic that I can almost hear the tape drive! Treat yourself to this--well worth a buck and a half.

Considering this is a few days effort from someone who has never written an Android game before, I'm really impressed. I remember games like this on the Vic-20 30 years ago and the author has really captured the feel of the original system. I hope this is the first of many inventive and fun games available to buy on mobile phones from TCKSOFT. Works great on my Nexus S.. :D

A great nostalgic trip pack to the pixel era. Well worth 65 p of anyone's money who used to load games by tape.

Anything that emulates an old Vic game, pixel for pixel, gets my vote. I've always loved this game and this version is a beautifully crafted masterpiece.

Just wanted to say a big thankyou. It took me about a week to type this game into the Vic-20 around 1983. I was 13. I cannot believe you have revived it. The graphics were great back in the day LOL
