Recently I was contacted by Read Only Memory about their new project entitled “SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works”, which is a brand new coffee-table style book featuring the graphics and the history of the Megadrive. I previously backed their previous project – the Sensible Software 1986–1999 book, and it’s a fascinating insight into a fantastic […]
Realms of the Haunting was suggested to me last Halloween, and it seemed a good choice for the PC slot in this year’s festivities. But I must admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect going in; Realms is another genre blender in the vein of System Shock, and not the first person shooter you might […]
