Hi all. I’ve been on holiday. I had a good rest, thank you – thanks for asking. Due to the wonders of modern technology I was able to indulge in some retro gaming (and writing) while I was away. So there are a few bits and pieces waiting to be tidied up and finished and […]

Hello everyone. I don’t do reviews so much these days, but have been feeling steadily more ashamed as Rik continues to churn out articles like a pro. So here’s one humble effort – mid 2000s shooter Quake IV. I have something else in the works, of a much earlier generation, for you grizzled early-90s veterans […]

Hi there! Wow, two updates in a week. Well, if our discussion of hack and slash RPGs wasn’t for you, how does this review of a really old cricket game grab you? *chorus of boos* It would have arrived sooner, if the recent Ashes series hadn’t been such an unmitigated tale of woe – but […]

Evening, all! It’s time for another discussion piece. We aim to do something a little different each time, and certainly we’ve not got much coverage of Japanese RPGs on this site in general. So today we’re looking exactly at just that sort of game, with Ys: The Oath in Felghana.

Hi there! Hope you all had a good Christmas. Our final review for the year is Corruption, which gives the site a couple of firsts. It’s our first review of a text adventure, and also the first time my stated intention to review a text adventure wasn’t just a glib throwaway line at the end […]

Hi there! Tonight we take a look at Test Drive Unlimited, a fact that makes us feel quite old, because we can actually remember writing about it as something new and exciting at various points a few years ago. Still, when you put the depressing march of time to one side, it’s good to be […]

Hello there. Tonight’s review is of FlatOut 2 from Bugbear. Spoiler: we quite liked it. If you want more by way of an introduction, here’s a nice picture, in which your reviewer considers exchanging his ‘Sparrowhawk’ for a ‘Road King’: Now if that kind of talk doesn’t get you going, I don’t know what will.

Hello everyone. Tonight we have another guest piece from the J-Man, all about the exciting world of driving lorries. Or trucks, if you prefer. So go have a read about Euro Truck Simulator. Then when you’re done have a look around his own site, the rather fantastic Just Games Retro, which is stacked full of […]

Hello there! Well, we have another review for you today. It’s Test Drive III: The Passion. Ahem. I’m sure I used to have more interesting stuff to say in these newsposts. Oh, hang on, I forgot we can add pictures now: Yeeeeaaaaaahhhh! *sets off fireworks*

Hi there! I’ve been on holiday, but I managed to do a little retro-gaming while I was away. Here’s a review of an old racer called Crazy Cars III.
