A few months ago we came across some really interesting screen shots from Quantum Sheep who were working on their update of the original Air Supply game.


What caught our attention immediately was the cool retro visuals that were utilised to outstanding effect within the screen shots that we were looking at.



We L♡VE a good re-tweet and immediately let our army of ☆Freezer Followers☆ know all about this cool game that we had discovered.

Not long after this, our black and white retrogaming bromance began as the  C☆☆L dudes at Quantum Sheep asked if ☆The Freezer☆ would like to make his videogames debut by making a cameo appearance within the Air Supply Infinite game.

Now The Freezer is a cool customer as we all know, but even The Freezer got a "melt on" at the thought of making it's video games debut!

So, what's the game like? 

How did The Games Freezer get on with the in game cameo?

All these questions will be answered below!!



Air Supply Infinite - The Review...

You play Sam the Space Man. 

Sam has got to run round each planet he visits whilst jumping over aliens and also stocking up on his dwindling Air Supply. 

Sam has a limited stock of Smart Bombs which allow him to clear the screen of aliens and also give him an O2 boost when used 
<Use Wisely>

Sam also gets the opportunity to collect many other power ups on his epic journey to try and locate the Infinity Cups! <Including The Games Freezer>

Along the way Sam has also got to avoid the Alien Tractor beams which stop him dead in his tracks leaving him vulnerable.....

The game itself moves at a blistering pace as Sam storms round each planet at breakneck speeds all the while trying to jump <Double Tap> over the pursuing Aliens.

Once you get started on this different flavoured runner game, you will find the one more go syndrome really kicking in a treat!

At first you think that this is going to be a stroll in the park, but the challenge of trying to continue until you get that Infinity Cup is truly a tough one!

We downloaded it onto the iPhone 5C and the gorgeous Retro Visuals looked stunning. We are big fans of the retro gaming look and this game captures that feel perfectly.

The Quantum Sheep team have pulled these visuals off a treat.

We love the array of power ups and variants as you go through the game and of course we adored the Games Freezer Power Up which Freezes the pursuing alien dude to the spot leaving you to collect the other power ups as they fall from the sky. 

We think that The Freezer is a star in the making after this appearance ;)

When you begin the game, it recommends that you plug your earphones in to truly appreciate the cool music and boy is it cool! 
 
If you like your Music retrogaming style then you will love the retro soundtrack by Yerzmyey, composed on 8bit ZX Spectrum!
 
Plug those earphones and get playing as you while away the next few hours trying to beat your last Air Run!

Overall, we had so much fun trying to beat our last run. We are not normally drawn to the runner genre but this looks and feels different from almost all runners we have played previously. The feeling of speed and the retro music really add to the cool arcade vibe. We'd love to play this great game on a big screen with that great soundtrack BOOMING OUT!

All we can say is get to the App Store and check it out for yourself and whilst you are there look out for The Games Freezer when it drops from the sky!! 


Meanwhile, The Freezer has started to sign autographs using it's plug lead......spooky!

In the days before XBOX & Playstation Achievements / Trophies you were judged on a certain Holy Grail Of Gaming Pecking Order.

 

Your prowess was judged by a number of games you had completed or particular Video Games related moves that you were able to accomplish.

 

We have taken a look back at our TOP 5 Toughest Video Games Accomplishments in order to show you what we think were our crowning glories over the past 30+ Years!

 

This should be interesting!

 

Where shall we start?

 
 
The Beginning Of A Very Long Video Gaming Journey!
 
This game is notoriously spiteful as it sends you back to the start of the game after you complete it for the first time!
 
You are then tasked with working all the back through the game in order to complete it.
This game was great BUT this really got our back up, instead of getting MAD we got EVEN!
 

 
Super Ghouls N Ghosts - BEATEN!
 
 




 
 
What A Beauty!
Half Life is considered to be one of the games of a generation, a real video game changer, it set up the almost flawless Half Life 2 and gave birth to the most anticipated 3rd instalment since Dr Dre promised the follow up to 2001!
 
The one thing that really kicks you in the nether regions with this game though, is the fact that Gonarch is one tough mudder!
 
We mean, to the point where you are using so much ammo that you are not even sure if it is actually dealing it any damage or not.....it's a worrying state of affairs and it's guaranteed to ensure that you will play this horrible headcrab sack on multiple occasions over a number of sittings before finally watching it explode........the day you do this is a day you will never forget!
 
 
 
Gonarch - BEATEN!

 
 
 
"Hit any button 13 times while rotating the D-Pad clockwise, on the 13th tap hold down the button until tipoff"
 
This doesn't sound like such an accomplishment does it?
 
Well think again, this cheat would shred a novices thumb if done incorrectly.....
 
Also it had to be done in the short time you had between choosing your teams and for the match to begin!
 
So tough was it that we only knew one guy who could achieve this amazing feat and he could do this on both joy pads in order that both players could enjoy the luxury that was Super Dunks from the Half Way Line!!
 
This cheat was so much better than the BIG HEADS cheat as it almost made it a different game completely, so much fun - NBA JAM WE LOVE YOU!
 
 
 
SUPER DUNKS CHEAT - BEATEN! (With A Little Help From Our Friends)
 
 
 
 
Platform Games have this habit of keeping you stuck on one particular tricky section for hours, days and sometimes even weeks.
 
The whole point of this accomplishment was to discover the secret exit on Cheese Bridge Area C
 
But BOY was this a toughie! The amount of times that this level had to be replayed in order to complete this part of the game fully was just immense. OVER and OVER and OVER again just to be rewarded with another level in the endless quest to find all 99 Levels!
 
So, how were you meant to complete Cheese Bridge Area C via The Secret Exit?
 
Well read on as we take an excerpt from HERE 
 
"Cheese Bridge Area (C)
 
To get this, get to the very end of the level as either 1) Caped Mario or 2) Mario and Yoshi. 
 
Below I have explanations for getting to the secret exit as numbered. The secret exit is behind the goal gate, and you have to go under the regular one to reach the secret one. These are strategies to do just that, listed in order of difficulty (lower the number, greater the difficulty).
 
1) This is incredibly hard to do. If you are Caped Mario only without Yoshi, you're going to have to find a good place to start flying from. It is my experience that the long wooden bridge before the yellow pipe is the best place to do this. Now, fly forward and take a dive as you see the goal gate. You must go under it and then pull up at the last second to go right past it. Easier said than done, huh? Good luck with that.
 
2) First off, getting there with Yoshi is rather difficult. When you reach the yellow pipe in the normal guide, go back a bit to the long bridge. Now run forward and take off flying. As you come down, Yoshi will have to bounce on chainsaws in the air to land on the platform to the right. Now, when you reach the goal gate, jump forward to get under it and then jump off of Yoshi when you are under it and to the right. You will land on stable land past the goal gate. Too bad Yoshi had to make the ultimate sacrifice, though.
Pick one of these strategies to get past the normal goal gate. From there, go right and jump to a platform with a 3-Up Moon on it. Then jump through the tape of the secret goal gate to the right."
 
The chosen method to beat this was using our good old friend Yoshi, the moment that Yoshi made the sacrifice and Mario popped up under the GOAL GATE was indescribable .... a video gaming moment to cherish forever!
 
 
 
Super Mario World - Cheese Bridge Area C "Secret Exit" - BEATEN!
 
 
 
Don't be fooled by his Santa Beard and his barely alive looks, this guy is super tough!
 
Metal Gear fans talk of Psycho Mantis being tough to beat but "The End" is in a different league, this guy is so tough that you might not even see him for 20 minutes at a time, but BOY can he see you and every move you make he will punish you!
 
Trying to beat him had us tearing our hair out for weeks on end.
 
It just felt impossible. We couldn't even land a shot on him. It just felt like the game was saying
"YE SHALL NOT PASS......EVER!" 
 
Little did we know that yes we would eventually defeat "The End" but maybe not in the way that we had thought was possible........
 
Yes, that's right we didn't actually land the last shot into "The End" to bring about the end of him.....no we actually took soooo long ...... he errrrrr DIED OF OLD AGE!!!
 
Yes that's right, the old fella got fed up with waiting for us and pegged it, snuffed it, kicked the bucket!
 
Hideo Kojima and his team were so clued up that they realised that maybe us mere mortals might not be good enough to defeat this dude and after 1 week of play, if you havn't defeated him you get greeted with "The End Dies Of Old Age" sequence....
 
We stumbled across this due to our ineptitude but there is also a way of tricking the save game into thinking a weeke has passed by saving and then forwarding your PS2 on by a week (BUT THAT'S CHEATING!)
 
Anyway, our number 1 accomplishment is a bitter sweet one.
 
It was purely a moment of relief that we'd never have to play this old fella again!
 
 
 
"THE END" - BEATEN (By Old Age!)

 

Now that we've shared our Top 5 Greatest Video Games Accomplishments, why don't you share the love and let us know yours?
