Good evening. It’s been a while, but unfortunately all we can offer for now is one new review. I’ve taken a look at the third (and hopefully final) Carmageddon game, TDR 2000. More later, perhaps soon (ish). Stay tuned.

Earlier this week Knyght performed a great service to the world of abandonware by adding the CD version of Dreamweb to Anarchy. It’s something I’ve been after for a while, having thoroughly enjoyed the disk version but also thinking (based on vague memories of a playable demo from around the time of the game’s initial […]

My recent spell playing The Games: Summer Challenge confirmed something I already knew – in games, when people fall over, are thrown from something that’s moving, or just generally are involved in an accident, I find it very, very funny indeed. Although I’ve always enjoyed the scripted humour of certain LucasArts adventures, for me, they […]

This was meant to be a topical, Olympic-themed update, but somehow it didn’t happen that way. Anyway, if you’re a fan of the controller-bashing track and field games of old (or even if you aren’t) you might like tonight’s update – a review of The Games: Summer Challenge. More soon…

So says this guy: If there was an award for silliest, least scary villain in a game, I reckon ‘Razor’ from NFS: Most Wanted would win it. Frankly, he looks like he spends more time plucking his eyebrows and applying anti-ageing cream than hanging out “on the street”. His “gang”, meanwhile, are vaguely reminiscent of […]

Hi all. We have a double helping of Lucasarts adventure goodness tonite! First up, Jo has reviewed Escape from Monkey Island for us. Meanwhile scooting back a few years earlier, I’ve looked at the classic Indy adventure Fate of Atlantis.

Well, the Olympics got underway this weekend, and I have to say I personally couldn’t really care less about any of it. Inevitably though, with the BBC shoving aside the majority of their programming to show it, I found myself watching Sue Barker introducing the women’s weightlifting final on Saturday morning. Though the spectacle of […]

We’ve got something new for you this evening. It’s a review of XIII, the amnesiac spy shooter from 2003. That’s right, I said 2003. That’s five years ago. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Next week – a review of Zork. And Pacman.

Spending hour after hour on a game that never ends just to achieve a high score isn’t something I’ve ever been particularly interested in, but it has to be said that my recent dabble with pinball reminded me that occasionally such an obsession has taken a hold. Some time ago I spent a not-unreasonable amount […]

Hello. No summer holidays for us, we’re staying inside with the curtains drawn, all in the name of retro-gaming. We’ve added one new review – of Codemasters’ Psycho Pinball.
