Throwback Thursday: Magical Drop (GBC, 2000)
Today on #TBT, we travel back to the year 2000 to look at one of Full Fat’s earliest releases.
Magical Drop was one of Full Fat’s last games for Nintendo’s Game Boy Color before we moved onto Game Boy Advance development. It’s a portable version of the classic Neo-Geo puzzle game originally created by Data East, of Windjammers and BurgerTime fame.
At the time of Magical Drop, Full Fat was focused only on art production for games, rather than developing our own games from scratch as we do today. Projects like this allowed us to firmly establish ourselves in the games industry and gain a foothold from which to expand and grow as a fully-fledged independent studio, producing licensed games and our own IP too.
Check out a video of Magical Drop in action!

UEFA Champions League Predictions: April 14 2015
Brought to you by Flick Soccer, the fantastic arcade footie game for your phone!
As you’ve probably noticed by now, we’re a little bit obsessed with sport here at Full Fat. Being based in the UK, and having made lots of footie games, we’re naturally huge soccer fans, so we can’t help but guess the scores for the big matches!
Here’s our predictions for tonight’s Champions League Quarter-Finals.
Atlético Madrid vs. Real Madrid
Real may have overcome their neighbours, Athletico, in last year’s final, but this Madrid derby is anything but clear cut. Cristiano Ronaldo & co. have been in scintillating form lately, including a massive 9-1 win over Granada in the league, but they’ve got a mixed record in big games this season.
Atlético will be fired up to take revenge for the 2014 final, and as the home team in the first leg they have got to work hard to stop Real from getting any away goals, but that’s easier said than done!
Prediction: Real Madrid win 1-2
Juventus vs. AS Monaco
Up until last week, it would have been hard to predict anything other than a Juve win in this match. However, their recent defeat to Parma, who have just been declared bankrupt, was a huge shock. The big question is, will it have destroyed their confidence, or strengthened their resolve?
Monaco, on the other hand, have been pretty consistent in the French league of late and have held their own against bigger sides, drawing with PSG in the league and knocking Arsenal out of this competition. It might be a tight game, but we expect Monaco will get an away goal.
Prediction: 1-1 draw
