Ghostbusters is one of my most, if not the most, favourite franchises of my life. Beginning with the first movie in 1984, it went onto spawn The Real Ghostbusters, a massively popular cartoon series that continued the timeline, and the successful movie sequel Ghostbusters II. With forums currently rife with speculation and rumours surrounding an allegedly confirmed third movie, and [...]
It was like Christmas had come early. On the 13th Dec 1998 the much-delayed Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was finally released in the UK. This was a day one purchase for me. I remember spending many, many hours immersed in the wonderful world of Hyrule, until I finally saved the Princess. Happy times. Now, 13 years later, Ocarina [...]
One of my all time favourite games is now available for download on the Nintendo Virtual Console. Released in the arcades in 1987, Black Tiger is a classic 2D action/adventure game.

Bond is back in a remake of the classic N64 shooter GoldenEye. However, the graphics aren’t the only thing that has changed.

I loved GoldenEye on the N64 and spent a huge amount of [...]

Strike back at the evil Bydo empire, in 3D!
10 years ago Valve software released Half-Life on the PC. They’ve not done bad since! Happy birthday Half-Life, and thanks for the memories…and all the lovely games Valve has made since…and Left 4 Dead (out now!).
For those of you who had an Amiga (A500 and A1200) like me, this website Recorded Amiga Games will bring back all sorts of happy memories. In my case it not only bought back memories of playing many, many of the games listed on the site, but also showed me the end levels of games I’d never completed. Amiga classics [...]
