For reasons unknown, my mind recently warped back to the 16-bit era and a game called Skate Tribe. It was developed in STOS, a version of BASIC geared towards making games for the Atari ST.

Exciting news! We have a mobile version of the site, thanks to WPTouch. Owing to a combination of the plugin’s limitations and our own, the mobile site doesn’t have the same functionality as the desktop one.

You live too close to the edge!
Hi there. We have DOS-based kart racing for you tonight, with Wacky Wheels from Apogee.
And the bowlers have declared duck-hunting season

10 quite bad adverts, 1996-2006
Hi there. Happy New Year to you! I haven’t quite decided whether we published enough reviews this year to actually bother doing a round-up [it hasn’t stopped you in the past – FFG reader] so I’ve come up with another way to cynically reheat some content from 2017. I guess our major feature this year […]
Fast. Fluent. Football. Festival.
Hi there. Season’s greetings to you all. Today we’re looking at the forerunner to our much-loved footy favourite of the 90s, Puma World Football. Here’s our review of Action Soccer.
Sean Dundee’s World Club Football
Long-term readers may be familiar with our love for the largely-unknown football game Puma World Football ’98 (ancient review here, more recent discussion piece here). At various points during the late 90s/early 00s we occasionally wondered whether the game ever actually existed or was in fact the product of some kind of collective hallucination, such […]
