The MSX home computer library continues to grow with the release of a high-quality, dedicated port of Namco’s arcade classic, Super Pac-Man. Developed by Mastropiero, this new version offers fans a definitive way to experience the 1982 sequel on the MSX. While the project uses the Casio PV-2000 title Mr. Packn as its technical base, it…

“I truly believe this game has now secured its spot as a Gradius classic”. The Gradius series certainly isn’t short of must-play entries, but 2001’s Gradius Advance isn’t a title you’d automatically recommend to newcomers interested in exploring the franchise for the first time. Developed by Mobile21, a studio founded in 1999 by Nintendo and…
Marathon’s second season is just days away from kicking off, and amid all the changes and hype its devs are spreading the word that its first week will be free to play for those prospective players who’ve been too stingy to try it out so far (me). “Season 2 begins on June 2 and kicks…
