Friends, we are doing important work—the work of determining, through democracy and science (maybe), what RTS unit deserves to be held aloft and named the greatest RTS unit of all time. It’s a lot of responsibility. Last week, the war began. 16 units entered, 8 units survived. There were close battles. Dawn of War’s unstable…

Indie outfit Atomic Windmill is pushing toward the completion of a brand new ZX Spectrum game that takes the hazardous and hyper-punctual world of food delivery and transposes it to the outer regions of the galaxy.
