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 […]

As I may have mentioned here and there, I’m not particularly good at racing games. Or at least, I lack the motivation to play them enough to become more skilled, usually just dicking around for a bit, completing an easy couple of races and then crashing into something. That’s why my only contributions to our […]

Recently i’ve been wasting a lot of time on TV Tropes, a website primarily dedicated to cateloguing recurring themes and ideas that turn up in fiction in all kinds of media, including gaming. t into related topics in various forms of media though – there’s a lot there and it’s it’s almost like a more […]

Just to let you know that Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is going for $10 on Steam this weekend. It’s basically Deus Ex with vampires, which should be enough reason for anyone to snap it up. There are multiple ways to build your vampiric “hero”, some really well-developed characters to interact with and it still looks […]
