The Last Blade: Beyond The Destiny
Fans of SNK’s arcade output are probably familiar with The Last Blade and its excellent sequel, which wowed on the ageing Neo Geo hardware before doing the rounds on the consoles of the day. However, even those who owned a Neo Geo Pocket Color could be forgiven for missing The Last Blade: Beyond The Destiny, […]
SD Card Loading ‘UK1541’ Adapter Announced For Commodore 64
Over the last few years we’ve seen the arrival of countless flash cartridges for classic consoles, many of which allowing gamers to boot up their many favourites on the original hardware using just SD cards. Similar solutions have also been available for the likes of the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 too, however, the later […]
Jet Set Radio
Ever since Jet Set Radio was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show in 1999 it was instantly on gamer’s radar. The main reason for the interest was due to the revolutionary rendering technique that Smilebit was using, which would make Jet Set Radio to be one of the first cel-shaded videogames. We’d also argue […]
Scott Pilgrim & Ramona Flowers Brawl In ‘Streets Of Rage 2’ ROM Hack
Not too long ago we featured a rather unusual ROM hack that placed a the most unlikely of Pokemon heroes into the dark and dingy streets of a 16-bit classic. As it appears, game hackers seem to have Streets of Rage 2 sussed out, so much so they can freely drop in just about any […]

Homebrew developers Retrobytes have returned with an impressive top down role playing game, with familiarities found in the likes of Top Trumps cards and the Barcode Battler too – all of which has been released […]
Martial Masters
Martial Masters shouldn’t be an obscure game. We should be talking about it alongside Guilty Gear as a classic that rose up to challenge Capcom and SNK’s dominance of the 2D fighting scene. Of course, we’re not. That’s because Martial Masters was a victim of poor timing. IGS released its PolyGame Master arcade board in […]
3D Printer Shop ‘Pixelwizard’ Recreates Missing Retro Computer Covers & Parts
When you lose the cover for your Amiga 1200’s expansion port, or even worse damage the front door to your Commodore 1702 monitor’s control panel, what do you do? Similar to the Nintendo Game Boy’s battery cover, replacing these individual parts is a difficult task requiring you to rely on eBay users to lists spares, […]
Def Jam: Fight For New York
I’m not a huge fan of rappers. I don’t really enjoy their music and their personas (which I appreciate are often exaggerations of their actual personalities) just make them come off as pretentious divas (I do like Xzibit in the car shown though). You might find it strange then that I’m getting so excited about […]
