Hi all. Another game at the more recent end our our coverage – Haegemonia: The Legions of Iron. In which big starships rumble around bombing planets and blowing each other to bits. Don’t worry oldskool fans, I’ll go play something in good old VGA next.

We were vaguely worried about Lucasarts overpricing their classic adventures on Steam. However, it turns out Last Crusade, Fate of Atlantis, LOOM and The Dig are going for £3 each! Which is just fantastic value for money – there’s hours of engaging adventure gaming there. If anyone wants me i’ll be off playing the Dig.

Lucas Arts is Coming to Steam This is great news, and something we’ve been waiting for since the coming of online-distribution. Here’s the selection so far Armed and Dangerous™ Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis Indiana Jones® and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure LOOM™ Star Wars Battlefront® […]

…but it would be remiss of us not to mention it at all. First, Telltale Games, the guys responsible for the resurrection of Sam and Max, have now turned their attention to Monkey Island with the forthcoming Tales of Monkey Island, a brand new adventure featuring Guybrush et al delivered in episodic form. Meantwhile, LucasArts […]

Just the other day i remembered that a while ago I created a basic hit counter for our site. On inspection it needs a few improvements, for example to count unique as well as overall hits. Also it started counting a couple of years ago, and there’s no breakdown by month or anything, so any […]

3D Realms shuts down [Insert duke nukem for-never gag here] 12 years in development… now this. I remember watching a demo back when they were using the Quake 2 engine, or something of that vintage. If the game had actually come out then, we might have reviewed it as an oldie by now! I guess […]

Hi all. Some might object to us counting the ware of 2003 as “old games” – even this site is older than that. However part of our mission has always been to commit to “5 or 6ish years ago” stuff as much as the early-90s abandonware generation. You can get these games cheap from browsing […]

The Jman made a very sensible suggestion, that we review Doom. I’m not entirely sure why i’ve skirted around that one – I’ve covered the iD milestone immediately before, the next two after and even a 3rd-party game using its engine. Maybe it’s just a reticence regarding such a huge name in gaming; there must […]

Xenon 2 is one of those games I sucked at and never played much, but i remember it having an awesome theme tune! By the DJ known as Bomb The Bass, no less. Here’s it is on the Amiga: The track was released as a single also. There’s no official video so here’s, er, some […]

games from Apogee Pick of the (short so far) list beying Duke Nukem 3D. Which i’ll put on my “possible coverage” list. Despite being technically inferior I always thought it was a superior experience to Quake. More fun, more of a sense of character and “real-world” locations. The rest of the list is only of […]
