Dream on. Ridge Racer used to be the series that officially kicked off each successive console generation, but Bandai Namco has put the franchise out to pasture in recent years – the last mainline entry was Ridge Racer Unbounded, released back in 2012. Fans have been waiting patiently for a new game in the series,…
Here we are with another shout out for this classic game called Castlevania, as I have been informed through Facebook, that Thelen is still working on a pretty stunning looking Castlevania game for the Atari XL/XE VBXE called Catslevania. A new version of the game, that looks graphically superior since its first tease way back…
You got the Demon? Right, I’m not playing. I realise I’ve come to it very late in life, but I’m currently exploring the world of Magic: The Gathering, the massively popular card-based RPG which has been doing the rounds since the early ’90s and has enjoyed an explosion in popularity in recent years (in 2022,…

While there are plenty of homebrew releases for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, its successor, the Saturn, is less fortunate when it comes to modern-day software support. For this reason, any new homebrew title released on Saturn is likely to garner significant attention, so it’s surprising that a new game by…
Work on the port is “nearly complete”, according to its creator. We may only be several days into 2026, but we already have an exciting new project for Neo Geo fans to look forward to in the future. h0ffman (who you may know from his Neo Geo ports of Shinobi and Golden Axe) has revealed…
This week has been a little overwhelming with all the news; as soon as I’m about to say I’m done for today, along come even more games that I just had to mention. From Mixelslab’s awesome Amiga game called ‘Creeping Me Out Hex Night’ to the recent hot news story from Norecess, with their latest game…
A rock-solid sub-$100 emulation option. Back when I reviewed the TrimUI Smart Pro in 2023, I found it to be a likeable emulation portable which was sadly held back by a lack of processing power and a particularly poor D-Pad. You can imagine, then, why I was so intrigued when TrimUI announced it was having…
“There were a lot of highs, there were a lot of lows”. One of the most exciting hardware announcements of the past few years is Taki Udon’s SuperStation One console, an FPGA system capable of running MiSTer cores that also supports original PS1 controllers and, via an optional dock, can run disc-based games for compatible…
