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’…

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.

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…
Holy Moly. That is all I have to say on this one of a kind Lego build. I literally spent a half hour talking with the creators and being mesmerized by the look and feel of the arcade machine. I went to the Brick World convention in Schaumburg, IL this past weekend and was expecting…
Pricks at the speed of sound. Sonic is one of the most recognisable characters in popular entertainment, rivalled only by Mario and Mickey Mouse in terms of global fame. It’s odd, then, to be able to vividly recall a time before the character existed, and even odder to have witnessed first-hand his meteoric rise to…
If you were yearning for a solid role-playing game in the late 80s and resided in North America and happened to own a Sega Master System console, you were certainly in the right place at the right time. As luck would have it, you were unknowingly on the cusp of being hit with the proverbial…
