The Nintendo 64 is an ideal ‘what if’ console. Unfinished titles are literally popping out of the wood work on an almost monthly basis now, so technically this series of articles could go on for a while. So sit back, grab a brew and relive the days when games were cancelled at the last minute […]
With countless titles being ported to the Sega Saturn from the coin-ops, along with unique experiences such as Panzer Dragoon Saga, the 1994 console has quite the strong following. One fan of the system in particular though has pretty much immortalised the Saturn for future generations, by providing the flash cartridge experience on the CD […]
Right, after Gene stole the glory of doing the last ever Monday Links, it’s time for me to start this Retro Digest thing. So basically this Retro Digest thing will be replacing Monday Links, the supposed-to-be-weekly summary of what’s been happening around the Sonic scene. Except it was almost never actually weekly and it often wasn’t done […]
Time has a funny way of changing your perspective. For example, Realm Of The Trolls was a perfectly acceptable fantasy title back in the late Eighties, but thanks to today’s internet parlance it’s as likely to conjure up images of YouTube comments as it is a deep, dark cavern.

So remember those nice looking 3D Classics collections with cover art by Ken Sugimori SEGA put out in Japan? Well, the second one of those is coming to North America as SEGA 3D Classics Collection, probably cause it’s the one that has Sonic in it.

Have you ever wondered just how the Retro Gamer team would fare when they step away from the keyboard and put their skills to the test? Wonder no more, as Darran and Nick have picked up the SNES pad and dusted off Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Capcom’s fiendish platform game. If you already know Capcom’s platform series, you’ll be […]
Towards the back end of last year it was revealed that Nintendo Gamecube fans could soon be enjoying the classics through a HDMI out port. Obviously not being a standard part on the console’s motherboard, the GCVideo required some hefty soldering and technical skills to pull off. In the near future, however, the device will […]
In 2013 a brand new game in development for the Dreamcast and Commodore Amiga made its way to Kickstarter. Leona’s Tricky Adventures unfortunately fell well short of its fundraising target, however, the team behind the new release pressed on the hard way to ensure their game saw the light of day – a title which […]
If you’re enrolling in RAGE, our Really Amateur Games Expo, you’ve got until Jan. 22 at 11:59 p.m. CST to produce a game of some sort based on this year’s theme: Sonic Boom. It doesn’t have to be a full scale game so much as a 5-10 minute long demo or an older game (think Space Invaders […]
Toy Soldiers don’t sound like the most imposing of things, but these heavily armed mechs are deadly war machines in the world of Faselei! This game follows the titular mercenary group as they go about their business – which in this case is an attempt to bring down the corrupt government of Istar, as they’ve […]
