N64Recomp is pretty special. A new PC tool called N64Recomp is dramatically changing the way we experience N64 titles in the modern era. Created by Mr-Wiseguy, the tool streamlines the process of getting N64 titles into a position where they can run natively on PCs, along with modern enhancements such as ray tracing, uncapped frame…

Nintendo may have struck gold with its recent efforts to crack Hollywood, but back in the late ’80s, the notion of fusing the worlds of video games with movies was a totally alien one, as evidenced by notable box office bombs such as…
That’s according to its creators. Sierra’s classic adventure series King’s Quest has officially turned 40, according to its creators Roberta and Ken Williams.
