Homebrew ‘Castlevania: Spectral Interlude’ Brings Konami’s Classic Series To ZX Spectrum
Early last year an incredibly talented homebrew developer revealed he was bringing the timeless Castlevania series to the ZX Spectrum unofficially. After releasing a playable demo of the game, the complete and incredible Castlevania: Spectral Interlude has finally been unleashed – and it’s something even Konami should be proud of.
New Retro-Themed Xbox One Racer ‘Spectra’ On The Horizon
When I think about the Xbox One, the last thing I think of is retro gaming or the indie scene. Whether we like it or not, Sony seems to have sewn up the indie market on consoles in recent times; and retro gaming is pretty much the realm of systems built without online functionality (unless […]
Commodore 65 Prototype Available On eBay
If there’s one thing that really excites the hardcore collecting community, it’s prototype products. Because they were never made for mass release, they’re exceedingly rare and tend to fetch high prices at auction if they ever leak out. The Commodore 65 is just such a product, having been designed as a successor to the enormously […]

The GX4000 has come in for a ton of derision over the years, and if we’re being honest it’s a deserving recipient.

Headhunter
Why is it that the near future is always so rubbish? Take Headhunter – it’s set about twenty minutes into the future, but law enforcement has been privatised, criminals are having control chips forcibly implanted into their brains and the TV news is telling you “all you need to know.” It’s a terrifying world, particularly […]
Microsoft Xbox
There’s a general opinion that the Xbox isn’t retro and that it just has versions of newer games with shitter graphics. These opinions are wrong. Yes the Xbox has spawned some successful franchises, including Halo, Fable and Forza Motorsport, but you can also make the argument that it’s one of the last truly creative consoles. […]
