[AMSTRAD CPC] Rainbow Islands – Longplay & Review

Review and longplay / walkthrough for “Rainbow Islands” on the Amstrad CPC!

Continuing my look at the best games on the Amstrad CPC I haven’t done yet in the run up to the 30th Anniversary of the CPC in June… it’s now the turn of the awesome conversion of the sequel to Bubble Bobble! Here I collect all the diamonds (not in the correct order though… more on that in the video itself) and complete all 7 islands without losing a life.

First off I talk about the recent longplay videos by other YouTuber’s uploaded in the last two weeks – I had no idea and I had put all this hard work in 🙁 I can’t let it go to waste but don’t want to steal their thunder either! So to make up for it please go and subscribe to their awesome Amstrad longplay channels here!
