Review: The Lost Vikings

Hi all. Last time I posted here, I suggested that I might review a flight sim sometime this year. I’m afraid this rather ambitious goal has, so far, resulted in little more than me flailing around in tutorial missions trying to figure out HUD settings and firing missiles randomly. So for today can I interest […]

Discussion Review: Batman: Arkham Asylum

Hi all, I’m happy to announce that after a long absence, today we have a new discussion review for you. This time, we’re off to a theatrically gloomy island housing a clearly unsuccessful psychiatric hospital, to trade punches with some costumed maniacs in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Review: Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Hello all. I’ve not contributed much to this site lately, but today I have a new review for you! We’re looking at shareware scrolling shooter Raptor: Call of the Shadows. Hopefully more to come in the future – maaaaaybe even a flight sim.

Work Complete!

Hi all. This humble site has now been transferred to the new host. There were of course more problems than I had expected, mostly relating to this janky customised theme I put together when we first moved to WordPress. Still, we should be 95% back to normal, there’s just a chance of broken images in […]

You get the option of either original graphics, or ” lovingly updated hand-painted artwork”. You might recall the first game was pixelly VGA, […]

In all things, the calm heart must prevail

In Fallout 3, you can roam the post apocalyptic ruins of Washington DC alone, if you prefer. However, there are companions available, to help you fight the many enemies that you will encounter. Examples include a hard-bitten mercenary, an old war robot or the leader of a gang your character knew from their childhood. There’s […]

Upgrade Complete

Hi all. As mentioned a while back, we’ve been tinkering with the layout of some of the pages here. I don’t want to raise anyone’s expectations too high – yep, you’re still looking at a rather basic wordpress layout. However we hope that your experience reading this site will be improved just a little. First […]

Under Construction

Hi all, we’re currently making some improvements to the site, particularly the menu and review pages. Until then some pages might look messy with broken formatting. Should be finished within a week. (Narrator: they were not finished within a week). (ok I’m back from vacation now, will resume work asap).

Review: Hocus Pocus

Hi all, hope you are well. I’m back with another review, this time just a quick look at another 90s shareware platform game, Hocus Pocus.
