One of the things about retro gaming is that you can sometimes look back at a title from your youth, and realise that actually nothing has ever quite bettered it. This is true of Mastertronic’s classic game Feud, developed by The Pickford Brothers. Released way back in 1987, it’s still a very much loved part […]

The Italian Job Retrospective
March 1st, 2017 CaptainD When I got my hands on an ultra-cheap second-hand PlayStation One a few years ago, one of the first games I tried out was The Italian Job.

E-Motion Retrospective
February 24th, 2017 CaptainD “Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Jim!” Well that may be so, but in this game, it’s all about the electrons.

Word Class Rugby: Five Nations Edition Retrospective
February 22nd, 2017 CaptainD Yes folks, way back before Italy joined the tournament and turned it into the Six Nations, we had a cracking rugby game for the Atari ST. Audiogenic made a game that still plays exceptionally well today, and they even get marks for creating a nice chip tune! (Much as I loved the ST, the chip […]
