The first Piko Interactive Collection for Evercade – which I reviewed here – is still one of my favourite Evercade cartridges overall. The second was a little disappointing – oddly, […]
For British gamers of a certain age (cough – mid-forties or so – cough) the Amiga still holds a certain fascination and has an unbelievably strong nostalgic pull. Yet even […]
The Evercade VS is undoubtedly my favourite console at the moment. It’s an essential purchase for old school gamers – and it also won’t break the bank if you do […]
The Evercade VS is undoubtedly my favourite console at the moment. Though it’s seemingly been beset by similar supply chain delay issues that the big boys – Sony and Microsoft […]
When I hear the Data East name, I tend to think of beat ’em ups like Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja (which, for the longest time, I thought was just called […]
Having already reviewed the first cartridge in the Evercade’s growing library, the Atari Collection 1, it’s now the turn of the second compilation: Namco Museum Collection 1. As the cartridge […]
Though the Starter Pack of the Evercade comes complete with Namco Museum Collection 1 – making that cartridge the one that many new Evercade owners are likely to try first […]
Yep, it’s that time yet again – but if I don’t shout about my writing work, who will? Today I wanted to draw your attention to the new work I’ve […]

Version Played: Xbox 360 – Current CEX Price: £1 There’s a really fine line to be walked with satire and parody, particularly when you’re aping the very conventions of whatever […]
Version Played: Wii Current CEX Price: £2 The late 90s/early 00s was a time when arcades still felt like they had new experiences to offer that you couldn’t replicate at home, or at least not to the same effect. Sega was releasing some absolutely wonderful games; though some received home conversions – and ports like Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast went […]
Format Played: XBox 360 Current CEX Price: 50p It’s fair to say that, once John Woo left Hong Kong in the early 90s, his movie output struggled to match the quality of his previous films. Though his first US film – the Jean-Claude Van Damme action vehicle Hard Target (in which Van Damme has the most spectacular wet look mullet) […]
It’s hard to articulate the effect that Jurassic Park – the film – had on cinema when it arrived in 1993. Though CGI special effects had been utilised in a number of prior films – most notably in The Abyss, with its amazing sentient water ‘creature’ in 1989, then another James Cameron film in 1991: Terminator 2, with what were, […]
