But why was it so great, you ask? Well, let me tell you, dear reader, in a way that will hopefully make you remember the good times so you can enjoy them still today! First off, let's talk about the games. Oh, the games! From Mario to Zelda to Donkey Kong, the Super Nintendo had some of the most iconic games of all time. And who cou ..read more

Trio the Punch retrospective

Beat-em-ups, we love them. At their best, they’re responsible for some of the arcade’s most revered visuals, soundtracks and gameplay. Trio the punch - a look back at a forgotten classic by  https://www.instagram.com/will_llywelyn/ Look back at the gritty neon cityscapes and funk-tinged house tracks on Streets of Rage, the vibrant co-op chaos of Turtles in Time or even modern classics like Guacamelee. At their worst, though, they’re a linear launchpad into slogging monotony. I tend to picture the visually muddy dourness of diluted home computer conversions, clunky, sad   and dated ev ..read more

Article By COZYSHIRO   Christmas has always been a big affair within my immediate family- it still is. Although my parents didn’t really have much money majority of the time, they would always somehow splurge out on us kids and make Christmas day memorable for us!   I found out many years later that the only way they were able to do this on their low incomes was a combination of saving for basically the whole year and getting out small loans.   When we were kids, my parents would always aim to get us the same quantity of presents except one of us would ultimately get what they w ..read more

Article - By   CheekyCrissy It started out as a dot, a literal square white DOT, against a black background, that bounced off the corners of your TV Screen,   two players take control of vertical RECTANGLES either side of the screen, batting it back and forth   The game in question was PONG, on an Atari 2600 and like most earlier Atari games, graphics were little in the way of detail, so your brain had to fill in the blanks somewhere. I remember playing Space Invaders with my family over Christmas, and it was played over this big tube set, with wooden finish that you would never ..read more

A personal perspective of video games magazines -  By   CheekyCrissy Growing up, I bought a LOT of games. But only a small handful, were any good. My father gave my £5 a week pocket money, which by 1980’s standards, was still a lot of money to throw around.   Games were sold anywhere, News Agents, Local Chemists, Toy Shops, Anywhere that accepted Cassette Tapes and Floppy Discs, would be sold.  For the amount I was given each week, I could only afford the Budget Priced Games.    They were sold, from anywhere from £1.99 to £5.99 upwards & there was no real ‘Qua ..read more
