Coder by day, gamer and film fan by night. Websites are one of many things I do. A big fan of classic/retro gaming especially of Atari systems. I can also cook. ;)
Fun with covid (not) has slowed me down a lot this month but thankfully the output of games landing on platforms has not. This month’s Xbox Games with Gold reminds me of what we had April in terms of its mix of old and new so opinions may […]
Announced a long time ago, the Intellivision Amico was billed as family friendly alternative to the higher profile console alternatives in the market. However delays to its launch (originally for October 2020) and subsequent drama over additional funding and spats with the community have raised a lot of […]
It wasn’t until hearing the news on the latest Kinda Funny XCast and then searching Kotaku where I learned that Mohammad Fahmi, the creator of Coffee Talk, had passed away last month. When Coffee Talk first arrived on Xbox it was in a genre I wasn’t familiar with […]
Spending a few hours on my Atari STE playing games and I think I finally reached a point where my trusty Atari CX40 joystick just doesn’t cut it anymore. It’s not so much that it’s not working but more that after years of using ergonomic controllers the cramping […]
For me it’s been awsome seeing the recent announcement that Ron Gilbert and the team from Terrible Toybox (Thimbleweed Park) are creating a new entry in the Monkey Island adventure game series. Though Return to Monkey Island is intended to be a follow up to the first two […]

Apart from the constant discussions of “will they or won’t they” with their popular franchises staying multiplatform, what makes me really interested about the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is the mountain of intellectual property that comes with it. This is a company that has OVER FORTY YEARS […]
Vanishing point racing games were a big part of my early gaming years with titles such as Pole Position and Super Hang On taking up a lot of my time. While not necessarily a realistic representation of driving (or riding) they made up for it by providing a […]
Now that I’ve settled in with my “new” Atari STE I wanted to get the mass storage issue resolved so I went the route of the UltraSatan device which emulates an Atari compatible external Hard Disk but supports storage sizes limited only by the SD cards you use. […]
