Michael’s RPG Shelf: Holy Crit, It’s the Tarrasque!
September 6th, 2019 Michael Crisman Dungeons & Dragons has some truly iconic monsters outside of the one from which it takes half its namesake. There’s a reason Wizards of the Coast picked a Beholder for the cover of the Monster Manual which you see in that little thumbnail. But if your players have any sort of history with D&D via […]

Impossabubble. ZX SPECTRUM GAME REVIEW
May 17th, 2019 CPC4EVA Dave Clarke, never heard of him you say ? Fair call, as Impossabubble, for the ZX Spectrum, was Dave’s very first 8-bit game released in 2018. To my surprise, for a first time game creation, it’s a real cracking job. It was developed using 8-Bit coding tool – Arcade Game Designer (AGD).

IMPERIAL MAHJONG – Amstrad CPC game review
February 16th, 2019 CPC4EVA Most 8-bit developers these days are out there releasing as many ‘shoot em ups’ and platformers as they can. Not the Amstrad CPC guys from Cargosoft, they take their time developing games, creating games that aren’t based on populist themes, so much time in fact has gone into their game development that since 2009 they […]

X-Men Arcade Game Review
December 28th, 2018 Carl Williams Oh boy, the X-Men arcade game is a special one for me. I am a huge fan of brawling titles like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Double Dragon and many others. When Street Fighter II came out in the arcades, I was still pumping quarters into Final Fight and other scrolling fighters just enjoying my little […]

To Guide or Not to Guide: Totally Unauthorized Tomb Raider II Pocket Guide (1997, BradyGames)
September 5th, 2018 Michael Crisman Having been thoroughly insulted by BradyGames’ treatment of Tomb Raider II in their Totally Unauthorized PlayStation Games Book, Volume 5, I decided to see if they could redeem themselves with this inexpensive strategy guide. Well, inexpensive as long as you were American. Canadians, as always, get plowed on the exchange rate, which should show them […]

Toon Shooters 2 Freelancers Review, Scrolling Shooting Fun-ning
July 4th, 2018 Carl Williams I suck at scrolling shooters. While I love them, they don’t love me back. This is mainly the classics though. Titles like Last Resort (Neo Geo exclusive), Thunder Force III, U.N. Squadron, etc. They all eat my lunch and rub my face in the dirt. Even back in the day, my younger days is what […]

WWF Royal Rumble Review on Super Nintendo
June 16th, 2018 Carl Williams Wrestling games are quite a conundrum of gaming. Some developers get it just right while others have trouble figuring out what exactly a “squared circle” is. For the time, LJN’s WWF Royal Rumble for the Super Nintendo was better than the competition of the time. There was not much competition though. This game was released […]

Populous Review
June 9th, 2018 Carl Williams Sure, today playing god in a game is nothing new. We have plenty of options if this is your one and only goal in your electronic entertainment. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s though, options were much more limited. Populous took the idea of a sandbox game, mixed in plenty of “god like” […]
