If you’ve got a problem, and no-one else can help

all good things

Hi all. You may have already heard that fellow oldies-reviewing site Just Games Retro has ceased updating and will soon be closing its doors. We’ll be sorry to see them go, as we found their reviews to be both entertaining and informative. Most of their content will be transferred to Mobygames, however the J Man […]

Trust is a weakness

Hello there. One new review for you today – I’ve taken a look at Uplink. Pedants beware: I haven’t shortened the name, it’s only known as Uplink: Hacker Elite in the US. We don’t need any of your fancy subtitles over here, no sir.
