May 15th, 2016 Michael Crisman The most obvious shortcut you can take as a game developer is to make a game out of something that is already a game. Chess programs have been used to sell people on the idea of home computers since the 1970s, every version of Windows has shipped with Solitaire built right in, and casino games […]

Today in Retro Gaming: Axis & Allies
September 2nd, 2015 Michael Crisman Porting most board games to the computer or console is a colossal waste of time. Scrabble always lacks the latest additions to the acceptable words list.

Night Trap To Make FMV Miracle Return
May 21st, 2014 Carl Williams Anyone that was gaming in the early to mid 1990’s will probably remember the Full Motion Video (FMV) craze that hit gaming.
