Nine Inch Nails did the soundtrack for Quake way back in 1996. This helped set that seminal release apart from what little competition it had.

December 17th, 2017 Carl Williams New Nintendo Entertainment System games don’t pop up all that often. Santa’s Magical Christmas Sleigh is just such a new title. What is cool here is, it is a 2D side scrolling action game – a genre that is not all that often explored anymore. Add to the mix a very jolly holiday theme and […]

Future Noir Adventuring with Blade Runner
October 6th, 2017 Neil Reive With the Blade Runner 2049 film expanding on the 1982 original, we thought it would be fitting to look back at Westwood Studio’s epic 1997 sci-fi adventure classic along with input from the company’s co-founder Louis Castle.

From Dinosaurs to Alligators: The Evolution from Retro Gaming to eSports
July 27th, 2017 Carl Williams Looking at the popularity of eSports today, some would wrongly assume that audiences’ obsession with “faster” and “newer” would mean that retro games are heading towards extinction. However, that’s a misconception. Rather, it is as if dinosaurs are now living side by side with their modern-day alligator descendants. eSports have arguable been in existence for decades, […]

Classic FMV Game “Tender Loving Care” Released on GOG
June 29th, 2017 Michael Crisman Tender Loving Care ruffled some feathers upon its original release in 1998 for two major reasons. First, the game was irritatingly difficult to classify–it looked like other FMV-heavy point-and-click adventure titles like the Gabriel Knight and Phantasmagoria series, but there weren’t any puzzles to solve; it featured multiple endings, but a randomizing element thrown into the […]

Tomb Raider Playable in Browser, Work in Progress
April 24th, 2017 Carl Williams When you think of retro gaming you must realize it is a subjective term. What is “retro” to me, being born in 1976, may be different to someone who was born in 2002. For me, the original Tomb Raider is retro. I remember seeing the first screen shots of Core Design’s new 3D adventure, starring […]
