Review: All New World Of Lemmings

Hi all. Two months without an update is pretty shameful! The good news is, our review machine lumbers back into action today. You probably remember DMA’s classic Lemmings – I’ve taken a look at a less well-known member of the family from a few years later: All New World of Lemmings. More content soon, including […]

no no start again, zort

Proper content coming soon, honest, but for now everbody Ulukai Dance!

comments re-enabled

I’ve installed one of those “type the letters you see into this box” plugins to help fend off comment spam. Hopefully it won’t inconvenience anyone too much! In other news, Epic have added all the Unreal games to Steam. I’m not going to shell out on the whole bundle this time, as I’m not into […]

technical note

Comments disabled until I get around to installing a spam filter. Hopefully this week!

oh christ, more lemmings

Oh dear another dead blog? My excuse is I’ve been tied up moving to a new flat and don’t have internets there yet. Rest assured though that we are playing through some oldies which we should see reviewed and discussed in the near future. Currently working on All New World of Lemmings. Which, er, wasn’t […]

ho-ho, more lemmings

To help get into the festive spirit, I went looking for: Christmas Lemmings! Which is really just regular lemmings with snowy levels and the little guys in red costumes. Oh, and adlib-card FM Synthesis renditions of “Good King Wenceslas”. Which coming through Dosbox’s sound emulation will probably drive you mad within around 7 minutes. What […]

Baldur’s missing disk

So my adventures into the Forgotten Realms come to a premature halt, thanks to missing data. Originally Baldur’s gate came on five disks. Some time later it was re-released along with the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, but now fitted on two disks + one for the expansion. Presumably the reduction in disks was […]

You must gather your party before venturing forth

A year or so ago I recall that of our review categories, Sports was the smallest in size. Since then tho Rik has churned out several reviews from the realms of football, golf, tennis and cricket. I don’t have a lot to offer in this section myself, but you never know. I have this odd […]

Review: Tennis Masters, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Quake

November: it’s dull and grey outside, so you may as well stop feeling guilty about playing videogames. Thus we’ve been unusually active these past few weeks. A while back we were thinking that the Sports section looked undernourished; Rik has been working steadily over the past year to rectify that and his latest offering is […]

Megaman 37 – now some of this may look familiar…

So here’s a question – I’m keeping it hypothetical for now. Game A is released, and it’s awesome, gaining both critical and popular acclaim. The publishers see dollar signs, and demand a sequel as soon as possible. With no time to develop an entirely new title, Game B is thus virtually the same except for […]
