Something to do with hegemonies

Hi all. Another game at the more recent end our our coverage – Haegemonia: The Legions of Iron. In which big starships rumble around bombing planets and blowing each other to bits. Don’t worry oldskool fans, I’ll go play something in good old VGA next.

Virtual Insanity

This one’s been a while in coming. In fact, I started on this review a couple of days before Good Old Games re-released the game and sparked a modest amount of excitement/revulsion across ‘the internet’. When your host is Lance Boyle, the game’s got to be MegaRace.

It doesn’t matter whether you win by an inch or a mile

Hello! Yes, that’s right: you wait a whole month for a genuine update, then two come along at once. It’s like London buses (or something). Anyway, following hot on the heels of Stoo’s Baldur’s Gate review, here comes something completely unrelated – I’ve taken a look at Rockstar’s racing game Midnight Club II. There’s more […]

Been a long time since Wolf3d

Hi all. Some might object to us counting the ware of 2003 as “old games” – even this site is older than that. However part of our mission has always been to commit to “5 or 6ish years ago” stuff as much as the early-90s abandonware generation. You can get these games cheap from browsing […]

You were doing fifty-five in a fifty-four

Just when you thought we’d probably had enough of games based around following police procedure, we’re back once again, with a review of Jim Walls’ Blue Force. I can categorically state that we have had enough of them now. And we will never, ever, ever be reviewing Police Quest: SWAT. Ever. Next time, something good.

Jump in my car, I wanna take you home

Hello. After our last few updates, we’ve started to tire of fighting crime ‘by the book’. What about the world of criminals who operate above the law? One man can make a difference. Providing, of course, he has an indestructible super-car at his disposal. Now you can be that man (sort of) – if you […]

To protect and serve

Tonight we have a double whammy, completing our coverage of Sierra’s Police Quest series. Well, apart from the EGA original. And the SWAT spin-offs. Still, this is our greatest show of dedication yet to the Sierra adventures! So Rik has reviewed the final installment in the adventures of Sonny Bonds: Police Quest 3: The Kindred. […]

I live my life a quarter mile at a time

Hello. Well, I guess that was January. I figured we’d have no problem getting a second update in before next month, but having done a bit of work on this one I got a bit lazy. No matter, we made it (just about) – here’s a review of TOCA Race Driver.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a good one. This was supposed to be our final update for 2008, but unfortunately we didn’t quite make it in time. Still, at least we’ve got things going for 2009. Here’s a review of Police Quest II for you.

Stoo drags himself away from Northrend to bring you this

Hi all. After being conspicuously absent for three updates in a row, I’ve had a look at Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I obtained it from Good Old Games, a new digital-distrubution services dedicated to older PC games. A lot of their selection is of the roughly decade-old-vintage and, there are some quality items there like Operation […]
