If you owned an Amstrad CPC back in the day, you would’ve played at least one Roland game from the Amsoft pack. Either Roland Ahoy, Roland on the Ropes, Roland in the Caves or even one of the rarer titles in my personal collection, Roland on the Run. So named for Roland Perry, a computer engineer who…
Sorry, it sold for how much..? A Flamin’ Hot Cheeto shaped like Pokémon‘s Charizard has sold for a mind-boggling $87,840 at a recent auction on Goldin (thanks, Polygon). Yes, the ‘Cheetozard’ started off at $250 before receiving a staggering 60 bids from auctioneers before ending on 2nd March 2025 with a winning bid of $72,000…
The post Watch Minecraft Live on March 22 for Game Drops and More appeared first on Xbox Wire.
I gotta be honest, the sum total of my engagement with Steam’s Game Notes feature is that one time I wrote a news story about people using them to cheat at Counter-Strike 2. I’ve never used ’em myself. Is this because of my incredible mind and prodigious powers of recall? Yes. But also it’s because…
Back in 2023, I reacted in a very grumpy fashion to D&D’s announced virtual tabletop, now dubbed Project Sigil. Well, now it’s here—with surprisingly little fanfare, I might add—and it’s available to test out for “free”. I say free in airquotes, because if you want the full suite of features, you’ll need a D&D Beyond…
Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam has announced Blades of Fire, a glossy action-adventure that resembles a snappier, bloodier spin on Sony’s God of War reboots. It’s coming to PC in May, and the trailer showcases the game in pretty spectacular fashion. None of this has to do with why I’m excited, however, as I’ll get to…
A Kickstarter for the game is now live. The Game Boy Color had no shortage of cute and colourful platformers, thanks to games like Shantae, Rayman, Croc, and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. And that number has only grown in recent years, thanks to the emergence of the homebrew scene that has been busy creating new…
Playing with power. You’re probably familiar with Taki Udon’s work by now. The modder had previously managed to implement an OLED screen into the Switch Lite, and proceeded to sell the ‘Super5’ installation kits on the RetroRemake website. Now, however, with the help of fellow modder @AzkaliManad, the pair have gone one step further with…
Lenovo has cooked up a new laptop with a solar panel with sufficient energy-absorbing capability to turn 20 minutes of sunlight into enough charge for an hour of video playback. Give it up for the Lenovo Yoga Solar PC. Lenovo has also revealed a stand-alone USB Type-C solar charging kit. For now, however, both devices…
TA-TA for this TATE goodness. When Blaze updated its Evercade handheld back in 2022, one of the key features it added to the EXP version was a TATE button which allowed users to experience vertically-oriented arcade games the way they were supposed to be played. As we noted in our review, while this was a…
