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 […]

The company i work for is about to move office, and as part of the process of clearing out we’re throwing out some old P2 to P3 era hardware. So I’ve taken for myself a hard disk and a few other bits – I now have more or less everything I need to resurrect my […]

Tonight we have a double whammy, completing our coverage of Sierra’s Police Quest series. Well, apart from the EGA original. And the SWAT spin-offs. Still, this is our greatest show of dedication yet to the Sierra adventures! So Rik has reviewed the final installment in the adventures of Sonny Bonds: Police Quest 3: The Kindred. […]

Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection For PS3, Xbox and not PC. Dammit! Oh well maybe i’ll get a Wii one day, then I could legally get such classics via the Virtual Console. Er except I’d need a TV first.

Migman’s Flight Sim Museum Given our own near-total lack of flight sim coverage, I thought it might be worth linking this site, which has entries for sims going all the way back to the beginning. Not a great detail of information on each game, but there are still some interesting bits and pieces looking back […]

In the interest of, erm, not getting any retro gaming done for days I went ahead and got F.E.A.R. On the downside, it’s one of those games where so far the pallette consists solely of brown and grey; i hope it’s not all dingy warehouses and industrial settings. However, it is seriously atmospheric. Enemies aren’t […]

Lately I’ve been feeling tempted to get myself a widecreen monitor. But havign shopped around a bit, I might shelve it for now. Thing is, I have a decent screen already, a 19″ dell. The logical upgrade size would be 22″… but apparently most of them use poorer-quality TN panels. Which the experts seems a […]

Hi all. After being conspicuously absent for three updates in a row, I’ve had a look at Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I obtained it from Good Old Games, a new digital-distrubution services dedicated to older PC games. A lot of their selection is of the roughly decade-old-vintage and, there are some quality items there like Operation […]
