While the list of foes faced by the Doctor could fill an entire book, none is more iconic than the Daleks, Terry Nation’s armored, emotionless mobile gun platforms. They went from silly-looking pepper pots to pop culture icon in the blink of an eye, and no matter what the Doctor does, no matter how many […]

Allied General Lets Players Take on World War II – January 31st, 1996 – Today in Video Game History
January 31st, 2016 Carl Williams Turn based strategy war games are not all that popular in today’s market and that kind of sucks. I grew up playing computer games a lot in the 90’s. It seems that was the golden age for this genre. The late 80’s and early 90’s probably had more turn based strategy war games to enjoy. […]

Antraxx Reminds Us of Giant Mech Gaming
January 22nd, 2016 Carl Williams Who remembers the good old days of gaming? No, I am not talking about the golden age which was Atari 2600 on up into the Nintendo Entertainment System era. I mean the era of 16-Bit where we got to the point where many game companies have never left (Capcom and their fighting games for instance). […]

Quest Forge – By Order of Kings is Latest Homebrew Release for Nintendo NES
September 5th, 2015 Carl Williams The Nintendo Entertainment System is a venerable little console, the fans are keeping this thing alive longer than anyone would have thought possible. I am not just talking about rom hacks, fan translations and homebrew digital releases – those happen quite a bit already. I am talking about physical cartridges for homebrew and independent titles […]

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. Games like The Game of Life lose something if you can’t spin the spinner and jam new kids into your car. You can’t even do a digital version of […]

Fans Work to Translate Shadowrun for Mega CD to English
July 13th, 2015 Carl Williams Fan translations are a grey area of sorts for gamers. Technically they are not illegal as the patch breaks no laws simply by existing. The illegal activity comes from the fact that you have to use the patch with a copy of the game it is for. Many will claim that the law allows for […]

Heroes of Might and Magic Coming to Sega Genesis
June 7th, 2015 Carl Williams You read that title right. Heroes of Might and Magic is coming to the Sega Genesis, on a cartridge even. This is great news for turn based strategy fans, and definitely fans of the computer series- which has not graced a cartridge based console, yet (I am ignoring the Game Boy Color remakes). For those […]

May 31st, 2015 Michael Crisman From the advent of the computer, enterprising programmers have spent considerable amounts of processing cycles and real-life time devoted to figuring out the best ways to destroy one another in a virtual form. Whether it’s dog-fighting space ships or heavy duty ground-based combat, gamers around the world have spent millions of hours locking swords, muskets, […]

Review: Lode Runner X on Android
June 29th, 2014 Carl Williams Bandit Gaming is a term we use to describe games that are not endorsed by the publisher in some form.

Shining Force CD Slashes onto Sega CD – March 22nd, 1994 -Today in History
March 22nd, 2014 Carl Williams Shining Force is one of those series that Sega really dropped the ball with. The whole “Shining” series probably became too diluted and convoluted for Sega to keep up with anyhow. So they dropped it like a hot potato. Unfortunately this really was one of the series, along with Phantasy Star, that Sega could have […]
