Hi there. We’ve got some 90s karting action for you today, plus a bonus feature on its slightly nightmarish music. The game is called Manic Karts. [What did we talk about with these intros, Rik? – Ed.] Ah, ok. Also – how are you? Did you have a good summer? September already, huh? What about […]

Happy Friday everyone. For some reason, I decided it was time to play MegaRace 2. As is customary, here follows a summary of my thoughts.

I was all ready to click ‘Buy’ on the new ‘Enhanced’ edition of Blade Runner… until the reports of those who were keener and quicker to do so put me off. To be honest I’d sort of forgotten about it – the last time we wrote about Blade Runner here it was to note that […]

Happy Friday everyone, hope you’re all doing well. Today’s review is the 1996 racing sequel Screamer 2.

Hi all, hope you are doing ok. For this review I decided to replicate the mid-2000s PC gaming experience. Eschewing digital distribution, I installed from a DVD.

Hi all. Not that I usually pay attention to such things anymore, but if our records are correct, then this is my 250th review on FFG. And upon which legendary title do I bestow this lofty honour? Why, a daft shareware racer from the mid-90s, of course! Here’s a review of a game called Road […]

Inside The Big Cardboard Box is where we delve into the history of the largely defunct world of boxed PC games, with a particular emphasis on all the ones I used to own, but later gave away or sold. This series seems to have encapsulated a descent into middle age, in that where my preparation for […]

Recently our good friend the J-Man posted something on twitter that echoed a very familiar sentiment for me: I’m sure a fourth device is just what I need to get me into playing retro console games regularly 👍🏼 — Johnny Bomb Squad (@BurningStickMan) December 31, 2021 We retro gamers often find we’re not spending as […]
