Doom 2600 does something that is technically impossible. It brings id Software’s Doom to the classic gaming console. The Atari 2600 was obviously not designed to do 3D games so seeing something like Doom 2600 is impressive. 99% of the game is lost in translation, what is here is still spiritually “Doom”. That is the […]

Atari 2600 Homebrew Ports Push Hardware Limits
August 25th, 2020 
Carl Williams The Atari 2600 is a classic console. There is no argument there. Where there is argument is the games. I am not going to try and tell you that the games chosen here are graphically impressive. They are not. That is just how these games look, there is only so much you can do within […]

Atari 2600 Receives Shadow of the Beast Demake Called Legacy of the Beast
April 30th, 2020 Carl Williams Ah, good ole retrogaming programmers. Where would consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) or Atari 2600 be without them?

Farming Simulator to See Official Commodore 64 Port
November 24th, 2018 Carl Williams I cover a lot of unofficial, okay they are illegal at their core, ports of popular games to other platforms the owners never supported. Sometimes though, I get a chance to cover an official port, as is the case with Farming Simulator for the Commodore 64. For those that do not know, Farming Simulator is […]

What if Cuphead was Released on the Nintendo Game Boy?
January 20th, 2018 Carl Williams Demakes. They are fun to look at, even though most are just mockups. Some, like Halo 2600 were actually turned into real games, with the blessing of the IP holder (Microsoft in that case).

Retro Consoles Untapped Marketing Avenue for Modern Games
October 4th, 2015 Carl Williams It is getting harder and harder for modern game publishers to get their games in the hands of players, er on their consoles/computers is more like it but you get the point.

What if The Walking Dead Had an 8-Bit Game?
March 28th, 2015 Carl Williams The Walking Dead has, no doubt, been a huge success for A&E, a surprise series considering the content this cable network usually releases.

VipEüt Asks What Would WipEout Look Like on Vectrex
March 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Demakes, taking a newer game and porting it to an older console that is probably not powerful enough to run it, is popular in the retrogaming world. We have seen things such as Halo 2600, Far Cry 4 for Sega Genesis/SNES and more over the years. The Vectrex, a defunct console released by Milton Bradley, […]
