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 […]

Hello everyone, hope you’re doing well. It’s been another year without much input from me so far, but I’ve finally gotten myself organised and made time to write a review. So today we’re looking at another platform game from shareware giants Apogee Software: Realms of Chaos.

To be honest Rik is the main “review guy” here, I mostly just chip in with dumb blog posts about getting my ass kicked in RPGs. However, I would like to try and contribute a bit more regularly. So tonight I have another MS-DOS platform game for you. Let’s take a look at the “lost […]

Hi there. We’re going back to 1994 for some DOS-based platforming action today in our review of Jazz Jackrabbit.

The Commander Keen series were the finest platform games to come from the Apogee stable. In fact they were probably the greatest best home-grown PC platform games from the dawn of the 90s. Yeah yeah, some would say I’m not setting the highest of bars there. Still I reckon the forth and fifth games, together […]

Hello everyone. Our reviews here cover quite a few of the games from Apogee\3D Realms, from their platform games of the early 90s like Bio Menace and Commander Keen 4, to their forays into First Person shooters such as Rise of the Triad. I’d like to fill in the gaps eventually, the most conspicuous absences […]

Hi there. We have DOS-based kart racing for you tonight, with Wacky Wheels from Apogee.

Today in “news from a year ago that we somehow missed”, that will be of interest to fans of classic platform games: Keen Dreams is available on Steam. Most of the Keen series was published by shareware giants Apogee, later known as 3D Realms. However the developers, id software, had previously released games through Softdisk. […]

Hello everyone. A lot of my retro gaming time lately has been eaten up by a vast, sprawling 90s cRPG (I’ll leave you to speculate on which one), the sort of one that could take months yet to finish. I could cut it short but kinda feel like I want the full, beardy, dicerolling experience. […]

Hello everyone. We’ve got another discussion review for you today. If old platformers are your thing, take a look at Bio Menace. Might be a few more discussions yet, hopefully looking at a range of types of game. If you’d rather read a “proper” review then don’t worry, those will remain the main feature. The […]
