‘Miracle Stadium’ also preserved. Sammy’s unreleased Atomiswave football title Premier Eleven is now playable on Dreamcast, thanks to the efforts of a Dreamcast-Talk forum user called dimps. The Atomiswave arcade platform, in case you didn’t know, is based on the Dreamcast hardware. Not very long ago, a prototype Premier Eleven board was for sale on…

What Museums Do: Versions The certificate, in other words, answers the wrong question — but it isn’t alone in that. Every museum holding these materials has to decide what question it’s trying to answer, and that’s where Latour and Lowe become most useful. They build toward this argument through a more elaborate example: Veronese’s Nozze…

Pins blame on “a small number of people involved in a separate rescanning project”. Last week, I released a feature looking into the history of Fleetway’s Sonic the Comic, believing at the time that it would probably be the only occasion I’d get to write about it this month. But it seems that since my…

So you’re thinking about playing Chrono Trigger. Your friends and peers have already told you it’s the greatest JRPG ever made, but you were born too late to experience it in its heyday on Super Nintendo. It only gets worse if you decide you want to live that experience for yourself. You can get an…

“We’ve waited 16 years to share our FIRST official game trailer”. I Heart Pizza, the Fort Wayne-based indie developer run by endlessly likeable cancer survivor John Springer, has announced it is releasing another game on the Genesis alongside the much-hyped one-on-one fighter Go For It. Designed by Springer and developed by Sikthehedgehog, Wallop The Wallaby…

Krikzz’s GBA flash cart gets an upgrade. When one discusses the gold standard of retro gaming flash carts, Krikzz’s range of EverDrive devices is usually at the top of the conversation – and with good reason. The Ukrainian tech wizard has been producing flash carts for years, and his products are so famous that ‘EverDrive’…

But not for the reason you might think. There have been many potential Unreal Engine 5 reimaginings of classic games shared on YouTube over the years. However, I’d argue that few have achieved the level of fame that the fan developer Giuseppe Macula’s (CryZENx) remake of the N64 title Ocarina of Time has. Ever since…

55G1 offers Hall Effect sticks and triggers. Anbernic has produced a series of emulation handhelds which borrow design inspiration from systems like the GBA, DS and PS Vita, and its forthcoming 55G1 continues the company’s tradition of mimicry. As you can see from the trailer below, the 55G1 is a dead ringer for the Switch…

“What it will become is the next challenge”. With origins that go as far back as 1981, Richard Garriott’s Ultima series is one of the most famous in the world of RPGs – which makes the fact that we haven’t had a proper, mainline game since 1999 all the more puzzling. The name is currently…

  Earlier this year, Pen & Sword Books released The History of the Pokémon Games, which I reviewed here. At the same time, they released the much less obviously marketable The History of Silent Hill by Samantha Morris. Similar titles notwithstanding, these are very different books. While the Pokémon volume functions primarily as a sort…
