Tiny Quest – C64 Review

Poor Mr.Cube. Despite living in a wonderful world consisting of right angles and crazy geometry – his mind can’t help but wonder to the either side of the world where his true love resides. Deciding that his life is meaningless without her, Mr. Cube readies himself to go on a Tiny Quest to bring his […]

Showdown – C64 Review

Ducking behind a prickly cactus with bullets flying around, you try to remember what on earth triggered you to accept a gun duel from one of the meanest and dirtiest gunslingers in town. Damn, I should have continued walking away even after he called me ‘Yella’ and bawked at me like a chicken and now […]

Killing Time – 3DO Review

Killing Time, released in 1995 for the 3DO and later, with “improved” conversions, to Windows and Mac OS in 1996 and 1997 respectively, is nominally a first person shooter but much like one of the numerous enemies featured in the game, this is very much a two headed beast. Being a 3DO title, you’d naturally […]

VR Stalker – 3DO Review

Released in 1994 and given the title VR Stalker, you’d be forgiven for thinking this could be something of a period cyber-thriller or esoteric Japanese manga-inspired game. Hell, it could even have been an early 90’s science fiction TV show spin-off for something like VR.5 or Harsh Realm. But no, gentle reader, VR Stalker is […]

Same room multi-player gaming is the original, and for me still, ultimate way to play video games. The first games that are recognisable as such were two player. Tennis for Two, Space War and Pong are designed for 2 players. Ralph Baer in an interview in his later years expressed disappointment at how video games […]

Beach Spikers Virtua Beach Volleyball, to give it its full title, was released in the arcades by Sega’s AM2 in 2001 and subsequently ported as an exclusive to the Gamecube a year later. This is very much typical of Sega’s output at the time with bright sparkling visuals in that classic blue sky style – […]

Dreamcast: Year One – Book Review

The Dreamcast was way ahead of its time in many ways, you only have to look at the catalogue of games for it to realise this was and still is a very special console. During its short lifespan it had to compete with the juggernaut that was the PS2 and let’s face it, nothing before […]

Escape from Monster Manor – 3DO Review

Escape from Monster Manor proclaims to be a 3DO experience from Electronic Arts. It’s a factual statement, I‘ll give it that, but the use of the word experience? A bold assertion, certainly. Hyperbole, almost definitely. Sign of a good game? Well… Escape from Monster Manor was a very early release for the 3DO, coming out […]
