Star Wars: Empire at War launched in 2006. It’s fairly common for licensed games to die an unceremonious death, thanks to whatever contract was agreed upon at the start of the venture ending after the allotted amount of time.

Full Void is perhaps the most high-profile of these yet (it…
There’s not much to see of ‘C64 – The Mysterious Cassette’. Allister Brimble, the composer behind a bunch of classic soundtracks including the various Alien Breed titles, has just contributed some original music for a brand-new release for the Commodore Amiga.
