Atari ST Games
The 1980s saw the emergence of two dominant players in the home computer market – the Amiga and Atari ST. These two machines were in direct competition with each other, and each had its own set of strengths and weaknesses. However, one area where they shared a lot in common was their game library. As…
32X Games
Designed to act as a way to get existing Genesis & Mega Drive owners to make the jump to the 32-bit era, the 32X ended up bombing commercially. Mainly because the release of the Sega Saturn in the US & Europe, just mere months after the 32X launch, undermined Sega fans who had invested in…
Taito Arcade Games
Taito has a reputation for being a pioneer in arcade video games since the 1970s, even before this time they were known for their electro-mechanical games in the 1960s, so have a genuine heritage in the gaming industry. Whilst Taito began its dominance in the 1970s, for me, Taito was at its absolute peak in…
ATR: All Terrain Racing – Amiga Review
ATR: All Terrain Racing, released in 1995 by Team 17, is a top-down racer for the Commodore Amiga and was also released on the CD32. Here we review the standard Amiga version. Like many Team 17 games, All Terrain Racing’s presentation in terms of graphics and sound is excellent. There are 3 main game modes,…
Sega Master System Games
The Master System was certainly on my radar as a child, with my own brother picking up an original ‘wedge’ Master System 1 complete with Hang On as the built-in game. It wasn’t until a few years later that I got my own Sega Master System II, with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built-in. I…
ZX Spectrum Games
Putting together a list of ZX Spectrum games recommendations is quite a task since there are said to be in excess of 12,000 games on the system, but here I whittle through some of the more well known titles, a couple of less well known as well as a couple of more recent ZX Spectrum…
PlayStation Launch Games in the UK & Europe
1995 was a big year for gamers, it marked the transition from 16-Bit consoles, to the new CD-based 32-Bit consoles (bar the N64!) and 3D gaming. The Sony PlayStation had been long hyped, especially with it originally launching in Japan the year before in December, but finally, on the 29th September 1995, the Sony PlayStation…
Amiga Games
So, another Amiga games list, it’s not as though it’s not been done before has it? But that said, it is hard to resist putting together my own list of Amiga classics. Like with many classic retro systems, it is hard to whittle down to a concise list of my favourite Amiga games, but I…
ZX Spectrum Homebrew Games
Homebrew has always been a vital part of retro gaming, and the ZX Spectrum homebrew game scene is one of the most thriving and prolific communities. ZX Spectrum homebrew games are independently developed games that are created by amateur developers (and also professionals!), often as a hobby. These games are programmed using BASIC or machine…

Atari ST Games
The 1980s saw the emergence of two dominant players in the home computer market – the Amiga and Atari ST. These two machines were in direct competition with each other, and each had its own set of strengths and weaknesses. However, one area where they shared a lot in common was their game library. As…
32X Games
Designed to act as a way to get existing Genesis & Mega Drive owners to make the jump to the 32-bit era, the 32X ended up bombing commercially. Mainly because the release of the Sega Saturn in the US & Europe, just mere months after the 32X launch, undermined Sega fans who had invested in…
Taito Arcade Games
Taito has a reputation for being a pioneer in arcade video games since the 1970s, even before this time they were known for their electro-mechanical games in the 1960s, so have a genuine heritage in the gaming industry. Whilst Taito began its dominance in the 1970s, for me, Taito was at its absolute peak in…
ATR: All Terrain Racing – Amiga Review
ATR: All Terrain Racing, released in 1995 by Team 17, is a top-down racer for the Commodore Amiga and was also released on the CD32. Here we review the standard Amiga version. Like many Team 17 games, All Terrain Racing’s presentation in terms of graphics and sound is excellent. There are 3 main game modes,…
Sega Master System Games
The Master System was certainly on my radar as a child, with my own brother picking up an original ‘wedge’ Master System 1 complete with Hang On as the built-in game. It wasn’t until a few years later that I got my own Sega Master System II, with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built-in. I…
ZX Spectrum Games
Putting together a list of ZX Spectrum games recommendations is quite a task since there are said to be in excess of 12,000 games on the system, but here I whittle through some of the more well known titles, a couple of less well known as well as a couple of more recent ZX Spectrum…
PlayStation Launch Games in the UK & Europe
1995 was a big year for gamers, it marked the transition from 16-Bit consoles, to the new CD-based 32-Bit consoles (bar the N64!) and 3D gaming. The Sony PlayStation had been long hyped, especially with it originally launching in Japan the year before in December, but finally, on the 29th September 1995, the Sony PlayStation…
Amiga Games
So, another Amiga games list, it’s not as though it’s not been done before has it? But that said, it is hard to resist putting together my own list of Amiga classics. Like with many classic retro systems, it is hard to whittle down to a concise list of my favourite Amiga games, but I…
ZX Spectrum Homebrew Games
Homebrew has always been a vital part of retro gaming, and the ZX Spectrum homebrew game scene is one of the most thriving and prolific communities. ZX Spectrum homebrew games are independently developed games that are created by amateur developers (and also professionals!), often as a hobby. These games are programmed using BASIC or machine…
RetroPie Games
So you’ve set up your Raspberry Pi with RetroPie, or are you perhaps only just thinking of buying a Raspberry Pi for some retro gaming? RetroPie allows you to play tens of thousands of classic home computer and console games from the likes of the Atari 2600, through to the PlayStation and is available to…
