October 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams When you think of horror games on the original PlayStation console, what do you think of? Maybe you only know Capcom’s Resident Evil in this genre.

Kings Quest Needs Your Help – May 10th, 1984 – Today in Video Game History
May 9th, 2016 Carl Williams The original Kings Quest was quite a game. For the time it was amazing, it still is in many respects.

New Game: Inherit the Earth Released for the Commodore Amiga CD32
March 5th, 2015 Carl Williams While we have covered Amiga CD32 releases over the last year or two, recently they have kind of slowed down. This happens though, as one area slows (such as the Amiga CD32) another picks up (such as the Atari Jaguar and NES areas). That does not mean that there are no releases whatsoever for the […]

Bandit Gaming: Owl Hunt Expands on King’s Quest V in Unique Way
November 23rd, 2014 Carl Williams Ah, the classic King’s Quest series. A series that used to be a mainstay in gaming and a very viable reason to purchase a computer considering only one King’s Quest game was ever ported to a home console (quick, name it!). This series started in the early days of computing and lasted up to the […]

New Game: Highway Tears Brings Law and Order Style Referencing of Real Events to Adventure Gaming
July 19th, 2014 Carl Williams Everyone knows that Law and Order, nearly all of the spin-offs and the original, feature storylines that heavily reference real world events.

Bandit Gaming: Leisure Suit Larry for the NES
May 12th, 2014 Carl Williams Some games were just too hot for the NES back in the day, such as the classic Point and Click series- Leisure Suit Larry. Nintendo would probably have censored so much that it would not have been recognizable to fans had any of Larry’s adventures even attempted to follow King’s Quest V, Shadowgate or UnInvited […]

New Game: The Samaritan Paradox for Windows
May 9th, 2014 Carl Williams New adventure games are a rare event today. This once great genre has fallen to the wayside of gaming, at least with the major game publishers. This delegation to the back burner by the “big boys” has opened the door for indie developers to shine. Take the Samaritan Paradox for Windows for example, this game […]
