Good evening. Just one new review in this update – of Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter. Yep, finally got around to dusting off those collection CDs I bought a while ago. This might just herald the start of a period where we cover nothing but Sierra adventures. I doubt it, though.

Review: The Longest Journey, Hostile Waters
We’re well into 2008, and with the January blues blurring into a more general malaise, and all thoughts of self-improvement having long been abandoned, what better way to spend your free time than by shutting out the outside world and enjoying a few hours of gaming goodness? We’ve again covered a couple of more recent […]
Review: Die Hard, Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Hi all. It’s a double-whammy of few-years-old shooters for you tonight – of the generation that was cutting edge when we started this site seven or so years ago. Rik has examined Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza and I’ve covered Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Review: Operation Stealth, Sega Rally 2
Well, we did it (just about) – here’s one final update for 2007. Unfortunately there wasn’t as much time for retro gaming over the holidays as we thought; however, we did manage to get in a couple of reviews in between all of the drinking and scoffing. First up, we have the spy caper Operation […]
Review: King of the Road
Season’s greetings! At a time when gamers are hoping that Santa is going to bring them one of the year’s must-have titles, here at FFG we’ve decided to bring you a review of something that we can pretty much guarantee no-one will be expecting to find in their Christmas stocking – the trucking sim King […]
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 […]
Review: Undying
Good evening. One new review for you this evening – of EA horror shooter Clive Barker’s Undying. My plan was to have this review ready for a Halloween update, so it would be kind of, er, topical. Unfortunately this didn’t happen, although round my way the scares aren’t over until the shops have flogged the […]
Review: Maniac Mansion, Wolfenstein 3D, Viva Football
Howdy. Is it October already? It’s getting cold, the nights are drawing in…all the more reason to not bother going outside and enjoy some classic gaming in the warm comfort of your home. You could tidy the place up a bit though – how about recycling some of those empty Dr Pepper cans instead of […]
Review: Loom
Hello all. Rik is trying something new and tackling an RPG. He’s currently spending hours every night shooting rats and mutants and grinding his way through endless quests, and reckons he might be finished sometime around 2014. So in the meantime you’re stuck with me. And I’ve reviewed a charming old Lucasarts adventure, huzzah! So […]
Review: Warcraft II, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Hi all. Been a fairly quiet summer, but we finally stirred ourselves into action and have two new articles for you. Having now lost my soul to World of Warcraft (troll hunter at level 69), I thought it fitting that I play through and review Blizzard’s earlier Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. Meanwhile, continuing in […]
