All Things Retro
This morning, Barrels of Fun, maker of the new Labyrinth pinball machine. Shared a rare behind-the-scenes look at its factory in action on its Facebook page. I’m a sucker for this sort of peek behind the curtain at manufacturers. Stern Pinball always does a great job at showing games on the floor at its factory,…
“There was no reason for him to do it”. Nvidia is one of the hottest tech firms of the current era and stands to benefit massively from the incredible interest in the world of AI – which relies on the powerful hardware produced by companies like Nvidia to function.

It’s all about the sound effect keyring. Assault Suits Valken (or Cybernator, as you might know it) was a jaw-dropping experience back in the ’90s. Here was a game which successfully communicated the feeling of what it must be like to control a huge, hulking robot; instead of dashing around the screen at high speed,…

The powerful Atari 400 set a new standard of capability with its release in 1979, and along with its subsequent models, has been loved by gamers and computer enthusiasts for decades. Now Retro Games and Atari have collaborated to…
