If you remember the 90’s and were a computer gamer then you probably know about Blood already. It was a First-Person Shooter (FPS) by Monolith that used the Build Engine (early competitor to id Software’s Quake engine). It was super violent and it was unique for the time so to speak – there wasn’t much […]

Atari 7800 Gets New Action Game Rikki & Vikki, Should Not Exist
January 2nd, 2019 
Carl Williams You don’t see the Atari 7800 come up in conversation all that often when discussing independent homebrew games. There simply are not a ton of them being developed, certainly less than there are for the Commodore 64 (can any platform touch that level of popularity though?). Anyhow, strap in, get ready, and prepare yourself for […]

Flynn & Freckles Launches on Steam
September 8th, 2018 Carl Williams Some would say 3D action adventures like Flynn & Freckles are not “retro” enough to be covered. While on one hand, I agree, on the other, I feel this genre is subjective – a moving target so to speak. There has to be something more to the game than just the engine that powers it […]

Badass Hero Headed to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, Steam
January 28th, 2018 Carl Williams 2D. Side scrolling. Shooter. Wall to wall action. All traits of games from the 16-bit era. All traits of games that have all but died in the modern age. Did I forget to mention the art style is around the later 16-bit and early 32-bit era? A sweet spot if you ask me. A time […]

Retro Games Released Digitally: December 2017
December 30th, 2017 Carl Williams Rather than doing a weekly, or daily, update on retro games released digitally, I figure a monthly roundup would be better. I already know this is not going to be complete without the help of our readers so please, mention any retro game releases you know of that are not on this list.

Cuphead Review
October 16th, 2017 Carl Williams Taking on the challenge of Cuphead is a unique difficulty for a gamer to face. For years gamers have been hand held through tough parts, been handed so much, and generally did not notice their skills withering and dying. Don’t worry, a game like Cuphead will either put hair on your gamer chest or it […]

8-Bit Adventure Anthology Volume One Features Point and Click Classics
October 12th, 2017 Carl Williams The world of adventure games is a wild one. Especially when you venture into the computer side of the equation where point and click adventures used to battle with text adventures and role-playing games alike. On consoles, it was a different story – text adventures were non-existent and role-playing games only picked up steam as […]

New Half-Life Total Conversion Released
October 1st, 2017 Carl Williams It is not all that often that we cover things like Total Conversions for games like Half-Life and Quake. When we do, you know it must be something special. While hackers placing Shrek in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is fun, it is not exactly a “newsworthy” ticket to write up. While […]
