I’m happy to report that we now have nearly all of the Lucasarts adventures covered. Given that the favourites were so well loved, and even 2nd-tier stuff like The Dig is very enjoyable, I do think comprehensive coverage is a worthy goal for a site like ours. All that’s left now are Zak McCracken and […]

A friend of mine sent a link to this: GOG.com. It’s an online distribution service, focussing on older games – the front page has stuff like Fallout 2 and Sacrifice. Ever since Steam came along I’ve been hoping for more oldies on online services like this. There’s certainly some demand out there for the classics, […]

Budget games are mostly excellent, right? All kinds of classics from several years ago, that set you back only a modest amount and run decently even on outdated hardware. In fact, they’re as important a part of our archives as the older abandonware generations. Still, I was reflecting lately on a point Rik once brought […]

Hi all. We have a guest item today, so a great big thankyou goes to the J-Man of Just Games Retro. He’s donated us his review on the 2001 shooter, Red Faction. What’s more he’s done a quality in-depth asssessment where I’d probably just write “Kind of dull, you can blow walls up, 5/10”. So […]

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 […]

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

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 […]

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

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 […]

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 […]
