Football is our love

Hello. It’s time for the World Cup. A time when people who don’t like football get bored by the constant talk of football, and everyone else gets bored by the people who like to go on about how much they don’t like football. Anyway, in a vaguely topical update, we’ve reviewed a football game: Sensible […]

Live the life

Ahoy, mateys! A tale of adventure on the high seas be awaiting ye, if ye dare follow the treasure map (by which we mean link) to a review of Sid Meier’s Pirates!

Shoot again, player one

Hi there. Today we’re looking at an old pinball game: Pinball Fantasies. For reasons that will be explained, I also decided to go back and write a little more about its sequel, Pinball Illisions, too.

No, man, that’s too much

Hello there. Continuing a series which we like to call “Old racing games that Rik will write lots of words about but ultimately give either a score of 5 or 6 to” [We told you to change the name – FFG Board] we have a review of a game called Juiced.

Brake for the snake

Hi there. Some more racing action for you today – from me, with love. It’s an arcade racer from the mid-90s called Screamer.

Don’t lean on me man, ’cause you can’t afford the ticket

Hi there. We make a belated (and non-sequential) return to the Driver series tonight, with a look at the fourth game in the series, Driver: Parallel Lines.

You stand before the gate leading into the Towne Cemetary

Hello everyone. The last time I wrote about a First-person shooter, it was something at the more recent end of what we’d call an “old game” on this site. So for my next item I’ve taken the opposite approach, and investigated a series from the earliest days of the genre, way back in 1991. So […]

I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name

Hello there. Surprise, surprise, we have another review for you tonight. Yes, I know, this is unprecedented (and unlikely to be repeated). If FFG was a big rock band from the 90s with significant chart appeal (which it isn’t) then this would be like us releasing a sixth single from the album that came out […]

Guilty as a girl can be

Hello there. Completing an unprecedented burst of activity on the site (by our standards) during February, we have a review of the adventure game Guilty. Barring any more long holidays, extended periods of sickness, or unexpectedly becoming unemployed, we’ll be back to our usual rate from this point on.

This planet is going to be vapo(u)rized, intruder

Hello! Tonight we have part two of Rik’s holiday review bonanza (well, perhaps that’s overselling it slightly). Anyway, here are a few words about Tyrian. There’s some more to come, at a future date to be determined by management and shareholders.
