Entitled THEC64 Handheld and The Spectrum Handheld, each unit boasts…

The majority of my formative years were spent growing up in Minnesota. I didn’t realize until much later in life that I had advantages afforded to me, from a computer technology standpoint, that other states simply did not have. MECC, originally the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium and later the Minnesota Educational Computing Corporation, was one…

In fact, his approach is distinctly unusual, with the praise for the originator of survival horror from 1996 veiled behind calling it a cheesy rip-off. Nevertheless, the story…
State Lines Shape What Players See Social casino platforms rarely present the same offers everywhere.

Pixel FX recently announced the $199.99 Morph 2K, a new upscaler that’s squarely aimed at those who don’t want to break the bank to get razor-sharp visuals from their retro hardware. Unlike the pricey (but amazing) RetroTINK 4K, the Morph 2K’s HDMI output tops out at 1080p / 60Hz, so if…
