I have read so many articles and viewed a whole load of YouTube videos on “Finds, Rants and Tips” on retro game hunting in the wild i.e. car boot sales and charity shops (flea markets and thrift stores for any American readers), that I thought maybe I should share my experience of this matter, as […]
If you remember being blown away by the amazing animated footage of Dragon’s Lair back in the Eighties, you might well love this news: Don Bluth wants to make an animated Dragon’s Lair movie, and he’s brought the project to Kickstarter.

This unusual combination known as Segasonic Popcorn Shop was dotted around various arcades in the Far East, however, it’s now playable via MAME.
The Nintendo 64 had it’s fair share of 3D platform games and one of it’s most celebrated titles, Super Mario 64, represents a highlight of the genre. Indeed, if you were a fan of platformers in the late 1990s then the N64 would probably have been the perfect system for you.
Sonic Xtreme has been seeing quite the resurgence as of late, but this takes the cake for the most impressive release to date. Forum member Andrew75 announced the release of never before seen iteration of Xtreme head programmer Ofer Alon’s V037 NV1. This is a PC port created by Jollyroger and it packs a staggering […]
