Last night, on ITV4 (at an hour when I should have gone to bed, but was willing to watch anything to avoid doing so) I caught a few minutes of the ridiculous Michael Winner/Charles Bronson vigilante-fest, Death Wish 3.

Which reminded me that there was an Amstrad CPC game (also on other 8-bit systems, I presume) based on the film. At the age I was at the time, I didn’t have a clue what the film was all about, but I was quite bemused by this game in which you reduced handbag-toting grannies to smouldering piles of flesh with a rocket launcher.

And this was years before GTA…
