This week, I celebrated my birthday. That’s right, Modern Zorker has turned the great four-oh (though I prefer to think of it as “21 with 19 additional levels in the Geek Prestige Class”). To celebrate, I’ve invited one of the best friends I had growing up: Dungeons & Dragons! And because nothing says ‘Happy Birthday!’ […]

Legend of Zelda Ported to ZX Spectrum – Bandit Gaming
June 3rd, 2017 Carl Williams Hmm, what is the over/under on Nintendo dropping the ban hammer on this work in progress featuring the Legend of Zelda franchise? So far, the ZX Spectrum port by Dave Clarke is looking quite good. There are some bugs and some things missing but this is a work in progress.

No Comments » Six More Absurdly Difficult D&D Adventures (That Are Not Tomb of Horrors)
May 7th, 2017 Michael Crisman Before I get started, I have just one thing to say: you’re a bunch of sadists. All of you. I compiled a list of half a dozen of the deadliest old school Dungeons & Dragons adventures to ever see print, and you not only ate it up but shared it with your buddies and gave it […]

Review: Dungeon Heroes for Windows
November 30th, 2014 Carl Williams Hard as nails, turn based, dungeon crawling epics are just not being made like they used to. Throw in a first person view, multiple party members and even more challenge and you have just narrowed down the few releases we do see to hardly nothing. That is where the homebrew community comes in, these guys […]

New Game: Dungeon Hunt Gold Now Available for Atari 8-Bit Computers
November 12th, 2014 Carl Williams First person role playing games are something that is close to my heart. While others were enjoying games like Ultima I was rocking out to Wizardry and Alternate Reality. When my friends were enjoying stuff like Zelda III: A Link to the Past I was enjoying the Dungeon Master and Arcana (though I was quite […]

Steam: Crystal Rift to Bring Dungeon Crawling to Steam if Greenlight Project is Successful
October 19th, 2014 Carl Williams For a lot of people our coverage of first person dungeon crawling role playing games may be a little outside of the term “retro”. The thing is, they are squarely in the retro theme, one of the oldest styles of role playing games was the dungeon crawler (Wizardry leading the way for instance). Crystal Rift […]

Cadàveriön, A New ZX Spectrum Title By the Mojon Twins Released
October 19th, 2013 Carl Williams In Europe it seems that old gaming consoles and computers never truly die. Developers continue to create new games for platforms that have long since ended their commercial viability- this could be due to the proliferation of emulators. Take Cadàveriön for instance, it is an adventure title that shares some game play elements with Resident […]

Hack Slash Loot Coming to the Atari Lynx
September 28th, 2013 Carl Williams The Atari Lynx was one of the systems to die at the feet of the venerable Nintendo Game Boy (as chronicled here). The Lynx was released during a time that Atari was coming off the slow demise of the Atari 7800 (another system they handled extremely badly). This should have left Atari open to focus […]
