Longplay and review for "Jet Bike Simulator" on the Amstrad CPC!

Codemasters decided to erm 'splash out' on a new mid-priced 'Plus' range stuffed full of goodies and "Jet Bike Simulator" was the first game to launch it all! Did this "Super Sprint" style game but with water physics make waves? Or was it to sink the new Codies sub-label to the bottom of the lake? Well we're going to find out definitively because we're very lucky to have one half of the coding team behind the game, and one half of the famous Oliver Twins... Philip Oliver with me doing a live video interview during the longplay answering all my questions!! Philip very kindly gave up his precious time to have a really lovely and amusing chat! So we have a very in-depth 'making of' the game here with some great insight and interesting tales!

At the end of the video we also take a look at the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 versions too for comparison. This was also a Patreon suggestion from a member of the Amsquad "Chief89", who's been desperate for me to cover this game for such a long time!! So I hope you like this matey!!
