Duke Nukem 3D is a title that probably shouldn’t be running on the Sega Genesis, at least most 68000 series programmers will tell you that. The classic computer title that made the jump to the console world was formerly only available in Brazil from TecToy. Now, Piko Interactive has secured the rights to the Genesis […]

Solve the Grandfather Paradox in Doom within Doom Mod
July 18th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, this is a rather funny/unique mod to be writing about, especially after the announcement that a “selfie stick” was added to id Software’s classic Doom title. This is basically the game of Doom being played in the game of Doom and it is also possibly answering the Grandfather paradox once and for all.

The Vectrex Goes to Hell with Doom Port
July 16th, 2015 Carl Williams Doom, a title released in 1993, was never intended to be playable on something like the Vectrex but thanks to homebrew developers, it is. This is what happens homebrew developers decide they want to see if something is possible. The demo shown off doesn’t have enemies implemented yet and the graphics are, obviously, low quality […]

Serious Sam’s Bogus Detour Takes the Classic FPS into the 2D Realm
July 11th, 2015 Carl Williams Serious Sam was the joke game that took off and found its legs and a rather large fanbase. This was not a serious game, regardless of the name, as enemies were caricatures of familiar ones from other games. Fans ate it up, big time. The Serious Sam series has not stuck to First Person Shooters […]

Half-Life and Quake 2 Engine Ported to Atari Falcon, Work in Progress with Video
July 2nd, 2015 Carl Williams Retrogaming fans are a crafty lot. They have ported games to Doom to an ATM machine for instance. We have seen demakes, we have seen remakes and everything in between. Now, we have a work in progress for the IdTech #2 (Quake 2 Engine) running on an old Atari Falcon- a computer that was released […]

Today in Retro Gaming: Duke Nukem 3D (Shareware)
April 24th, 2015 Michael Crisman “Damn! Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!” With those words, 3D Realms laid into the FPS genre with gusto. Bringing Apogee’s 2D side-scrolling, planet-saving hero into the third dimension to compete with the likes of Doom was no easy task considering the whole internet was ablaze with talk of iD […]

Unreal Championship 2 The Liandri Conflict Brings Arena Style 3D Shooting to Xbox – April 18th, 2005 – Today in History
April 18th, 2015 Carl Williams The original Xbox was not exactly the barn burning success that Microsoft had hoped it would be. That did not stop plenty of exclusive games, most First Person Shooters (FPS), from appearing on the console. One such console exclusive was Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict by Midway and Epic Games. This game is even backwards […]

Prototype: New Version of Alien vs Predator Found for Atari Lynx
March 8th, 2015 Carl Williams This is interesting news to say the least. The Atari Lynx was Atari’s, only, hand held device to be released and, depending on who you ask, it was a horrible failure for the company. We did see some great games for it though, games that, honestly, should have done better and could have had Atari […]

New Game- Red Olympus Takes First Person Shooters back to the Basics
January 23rd, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, First Person Shooters (FPS) are a genre that is going quite strong, and have been doing so for several decades now. When you think of the genre you probably think of over detailed massive games that require a beast to run. The Gravedigger, the developer responsible for Red Olympus, has decided to take the […]

Revenge of the License: The Abyss – Incident At Europa
January 4th, 2015 Michael Crisman “The Abyss” is the one film from James Cameron’s past everybody forgets about until someone else brings it up, and to be honest I like it fine that way. It’s one of my favorites, but at the same time I can’t say I watch it more than once every few years, mainly because the special […]
