Advance Wars – Impressive and Addictive Strategy

By DrChris

When we think of a platform for turn-based military strategy games we usually don’t think of the handheld consoles. That purview was generally confined to the PC market. With Nintendo’s Advance Wars for the Game Boy Advance, that premise was blown out of the water. It was an incredibly addictive experience and placed you in […]

S.C.I Chase HQ II – Commodore Amiga Review

‘Punch the Pedal’. Just one of the iconic phrases from the original Chase H.Q. still lingers in the minds of many, as does the woeful Commodore 64 and Amiga ports. A slew of home conversions and a staple of many an arcade meant a tune-up and respray of Taito’s runaway success was incoming with an […]

Aliens are invading Earth and it is up to you to save the world! In Saucer Wars you play the role of Milo Marslender, a rather creative scientist who has made his very own laser turret at home, which is fortunate for him as it is this weapon that he must use against the invading […]

Super Mario Land – A Gameboy Classic

Ahh the Nintendo Gameboy, a sometimes forgotten part of my youth, this small but incredibly important handheld packed an incredible punch in the 80’s and early 90’s. I fondly remember settling down with my new Gameboy and obsessively playing the title which was packed with it – Super Mario Land. Released in 1989, this was […]

Metal Slug Advance Review

Metal Slug is one of the most highly regarded shoot ’em ups ever developed. It had dominated both the Arcades and the Neo Geo consoles for years. In 2005 that changed when a version appeared on the GameBoy Advance. This was one of the first truly authentic arcade-style Metal Slug titles to ever appear on […]

NARC – Commodore 64 Review

Winners don’t do drugs. The slogan adorned many an arcade for the best part of a decade and is rather apt for Eugene Jarvis and Williams’ hyper-violent run ‘n’ gun, NARC. After blasting its way to coin-ops in 1988, it arrived in unsuspecting homes in 1990, chased by a bunch of angry parents and holier-than-thou […]

Unhallowed – ZX Spectrum Review

What was intended to be a mini adventure quickly became one of the best games of its kind. The game is Unhallowed, the “trick-or-treat” Blerkotron created for Halloween. And we can name several reasons for considering it as a brilliant text adventure. But first, the story. It’s Halloween and we return home after a hard […]

The Super Nintendo Anthology by Geeks-Line is the first book we have reviewed from their extensive catalogue of gaming books, being a massive fan of the SNES I was really looking forward to getting this book and giving you all my opinion on what you can expect if you decide to pick this one up. […]

Battle Chess – 3DO Review

The 3DO doesn’t seem to get much love in the retro gaming community. Much like the Atari Jaguar, the 3DO has a reputation for poor quality software. Indeed, there are more than a few stinkers out there. There were, however, a few rather good system exclusives (or were until the platform died and publishers ported […]

NeoGeo Pocket GD: Review.

The Neo Geo Pocket was SNK’s first handheld system, it was released in Japan in 1998 and quickly succeeded by the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 1999. I’ve owned both versions since it was possible to import them, they are masterpieces of engineering, the controls are possibly the best you can get on any handheld […]
