World’s Scariest Police Chases
The original PlayStation fell from the radar of most gamers far too quickly. While many stuck around past the release of the PS2 for Final Fantasy IX, once the likes of Gran Turismo 3 had hit most gamers and the original grey box had parted ways. It’s a real shame, as games like World’s Scariest Police […]
Cancelled Commodore 64 Port of ‘Populous’ Surfaces Online
Although making a name for itself on the Amiga, it would appear that Bullfrog and Electronic Arts had plans to bring Populous to the Commodore 64. While the game may have been cancelled by EA Germany, an early prototype and technical demo has since surfaced online for gamers to sample.
Synths of Rage by 30th Floor Records
If you owned a Sega Megadrive in the 90s, you have no doubt played Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2, the often copied but never equaled beat-em-ups that enthralled kids and adults alike. Not only were the games smash hits, the soundtracks were too. Composed and produced by Yuzo Koshiro, Kyoji Kato, and […]
ControlView – The Ultimate Sega Dreamcast Controller Modification
Actually, that title is a bit misleading – the ultimate Dreamcast controller would be one that added a second analogue stick on the right hand side… but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The Dreamcast is a console that was officially cancelled by Sega in 2001, but here in 2015 it is a system that continues […]
Super Mario World Speedrun Record Broken In Under 6 Minutes
Believe it or not but the 16-bit classic Super Mario World can be beaten in a mere few minutes. While this speedrun may rely on taking advantage of the console’s memory and forcing it to run beneficial glitches, pulling them off without an emulator is anything but easy. With countless gamers fighting for the fastest […]
Theme Hospital Free On Origin
We’re big fans of Theme Hospital – we love treating the ridiculous diseases such as Bloaty Head, King Complex and Hairyitis (something that Nick seems to be in the early stages of at present). If you’re similarly enamoured with the excellent sequel to Theme Park, you may wish to have a look at EA’s Origin […]
Pilotwings 64
The N64 launched with only two games – Mario 64 and Pilotwings (plus a third, Saikyou Haniu Shogi, if you insist on being pedantic). It was of course Mario which captivated and encouraged people to buy the system; he was Nintendo’s all-jumping non-shaving star. Shamefully it overshadowed this equally excellent “flight-sim” from Paradigm Entertainment. Admittedly […]
Japan-Exclusive Sega Mega Drive RPG "Rent-a-Hero" Fan-Translated
Fans of Sega RPGs beyond Phantasy Star (and anyone out there who’s unlocked all the characters in Fighters Megamix) should be delighted to know that after the longest time, the weird Mega Drive RPG developed by the legendary AM2, Rent-a-Hero, has finally been fan-translated.
Twisted Metal: World Tour
Sometimes, you know a game is going to be amazing from the second you clap eyes on it, but what we’ve always liked is a surprise classic – one of those games you don’t have much anticipation for, but which wins you over. It’s fair to say that Twisted Metal: World Tour falls into the […]
