Crash Bandicoot – N. Sane Trilogy (Vicarious Visions Game, PS4, 2017) – Reviewed by AlanG

On December 21, 2018December 22, 2018 By Neil G

There is a general rule in life; you don’t mess with a classic. You are almost certainly setting yourself up to fail. Volkswagon tried with the re-launch of the ‘Mini’ and while the German version of the British classic car may be a solid vehicle and has racked up good […]

Zool: Ninja of the Nth Dimension (Amiga Game, Gremlin Graphics, 1992)

On December 18, 2018December 18, 2018 By Neil G

There is a reason why cat videos are so popular on the internet. Barely a day goes by without someone sharing a video of some kittens falling into a waste paper basket or a blender on my Facebook newsfeed (I may have lied about the blender). It is the same […]

Oddword – Abe’s Oddysee (PS1 game, GT Interactive, 1997)

On December 9, 2018December 10, 2018 By Neil G

I have always had a soft spot for the odd and quirky, while at the same time being a big fan of platform games. On the face of it then, this was right up my street, a somewhat left-field puzzle-platform game released for the PS1 by GT Interactive in 1997, […]

Voodoo Castle (Adventure International game, Vic 20, 1979)

On December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 By Neil G

We had better start by getting the obvious out of the way. The Vic 20 was not a powerful machine. Your average Vic 20 game had to be programmed in less than 3,583 bytes. To put that into context, a modern mobile phone with sixteen gigabytes of storage has approximately […]

3D Starstrike – ZX Spectrum review by Florinthedwarf

On December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 By Neil G

Realtime? Does that mean it’s 1984 again? This is a bit of a first for me – reviewing a Spectrum game that I didn’t play back in the day, or indeed any day after back in the day. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that I hadn’t […]

TOAW IV Revisited

On October 21, 2018 By Casey

10/22/18 – RTFM has been spouted. I’ve RTFM. Am returning after reading some 3rd party guides that seem to be more helpful. My argument still stands, but I really want to like this game. It started in Finland. June 29th 1941. A narrow peninsula was held by Russian troops threatening […]

Super Cars – A well known classic gets a ZX speccy review

On September 18, 2018September 19, 2018 By Neil G

Super Cars is a game that has it all, when it comes to car games at least; cars, racing, power-ups and the ability to earn money, all in one game! ‘How can one game manage that?!’ I hear you cry? Well, I don’t know as I’m not a programmer, but […]
