Review: Jaleco Collection 1 (Evercade Cartridge 15)

Review: Atari Lynx Collection 2 (Evercade Cartridge 14)
I delved into the circumstances around the relative failure of the Lynx back in my review of the Atari Lynx Collection 1 Evercade cartridge – but what’s clear from these […]
Review: Atari Lynx Collection 1 (Evercade Cartridge 13)
It’s unlucky for some as we reach cartridge 13 in the Evercade library! Atari’s Lynx seemed to have everything going for it on paper. Even in action next to its […]
Video Game Review: Mechanic Battle (Nintendo Switch)
A hybrid of top-down racer and mechanic simulator, Mechanic Battle is an unusual proposition. Mostly, it’s a top down racer with a few annoying quirks – it’s far too easy […]
Review: The Oliver Twins Collection (Evercade Cartridge 12)
With all profits from the sale of this cartridge going to The National Videogame Museum – which is a worthy and excellent recipient, given its focus on game preservation – […]
News: Lewis Hamilton – Champion F1 Driver and…Retro Gamer?
Gamers have always had to contend with non-gamers asking them why, if they want to play football or golf, why they don’t just do those things in real life instead […]
Review: Piko Interactive Collection 1 (Evercade Cartridge 09)
One of the best things about the Evercade is that the collections – even when they’re from companies who have constantly re-released their back catalogue games over the years – […]
Video Game Review: Slipstream (Xbox)
Slipstream is an excellent homage to a bygone era.
Video Game Review: Moto Roader MC (Xbox Series X)
Available now on PS4, PS5 Switch and Xbox consoles I hadn’t heard of the original Moto Roader MC (or indeed, any of the other games in the Moto Roader series), […]

The Burnout Games – and More Shameless Self-Promotion!
Just as recently I ranked the Best Castlevania Games for Retro Dodo – and actually had a real blast revisiting the series again, so much so that I’m currently playing […]
News: Evercade Announces Gremlin Collection 1, Coming March 2022
This was genuinely exciting news to wake up to; the latest Evercade compilation is a collection of games from Gremlin, a sadly defunct publisher. Beginning in 1984 as Gremlin Graphics […]
Review: Monster Jam: Steel Titans 2
Have you ever seen the Monster Jam trucks in action? Whether it’s racing, smashing the crap out of stuff in an enormous arena or showing off genuinely impressive stunts, seeing […]
Review: Electro Ride: The Neon Racing
Despite a positive collection of reviews on Steam, Electro Ride: The Neon Racing doesn’t seem to have received great care and attention in being ported to Switch. Similarly, the smooth, […]
Review: Battletoads (2020)
The original Battletoads – which was released on Nintendo’s 8-bit console the NES back in 1991 – is infamously challenging, with a number of levels that are so tough that they can feel incredibly unfair at times – it’s a game that’s often fondly remembered until you try it again, at which point you realise how frustratingly difficult it is […]
Trailer: Dash Dash World
VR Kart racing/combat game Dash Dash World is a title that I’ve taken a look at a few times before – and as release nears, it’s looking like it’ll provide an awful lot of fast paced, cartoony fun.
