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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

So a week or two ago I went out and got the ID Super Pack on Steam. It covers pretty much iD’s entire back catalogue, bar a few obscure titles, from Commander Keen to Doom3. Plus there’s some of the iD-engine-powered titles from Raven, like Heretic and Hexen. Total cost is $69.95 – far less […]

Okay, so having steadfastly ignored RPGs since Dungeon Master (can’t remember much about that apart from that ‘oof, I’ve hit a wall’ noise when you, er, hit a wall), I’m currently making tentative progress through Fallout. It’s such a well-loved game I’m feeling under a bit of pressure to really love it. It’s slow going […]

iD have added their back-catalogue to steam! Also Raven have added some of their iD-engine-powered games like Hexen. just look at the front page I’d still rather be able to buy these titles on a CD-compilation, but I’m old-fashioned like that. This is a good move on iD’s part, and I only hope other companies […]

Since I’ve greatly enjoyed Warcraft 3, I look forward to writing about it for our site. However, while now a budget title and thus viable material for our attention, it’s still relatively young. So I thought we should do this properly and go right back to the first Warcraft, and play through them in order. […]
