DF Retro Buried Treasure: Our Best Retro Gaming Finds Of 2019!

Hey Dark1x and Audi, I watched the video last night and you guys mentioned that Fightin' Spirit was developed by a Spanish studio, but I think it was an Italian one.
I have a general idea of what was developed in Spain and I think that wasn't. Although I may easily be wrong. Just in case you guys want to check it out.

Ah, I knew it! I also remembered them being Italian.

That game released so late in the Amiga's life, I never managed to play it. Just remembered seeing gorgeous screenshots of it in magazines.

Wasn't expecting to see it in this video.

Also, Elfmania and Body Blows 1/Galactic are good fighting games, I won't hear otherwise!

Never saw it on Sega Channel but that beefy cover seems right for the series.

Dark1x I'm going to have to check out those two PCE shooters you mentioned now. :D
Audi I could have sworn I'd seen an English version of Golden Axe III somewhere maybe E3 or another show.

It's also on the Steam SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics:

Those (Asterix games) were French! Unless I'm missing an outlier that is, which again is entirely possible :-)

French publisher (Infogrames) but Spanish developer (BitManagers)

Asterix on Nes and GB has music by the God of harmony himself, Alberto Gonzalez

Oh, you're right! I was thinking about the Coktel Vision games on the Amiga since I always associate Spanish games with old personal computer games.

They were doing mobile games as of late until they went bankrupt a few years ago. I think they did a Smurfs game for the NES too.

The longest standing Spanish studio alive right now should be Pendulo Studios.

Some of the core team from Bit-Managers went on to form the studio Abylight, who recently worked on Super Hydorah.
