Retro Asylum on Stunt Car Racer
The guys on the Retro Asylum podcast played Stunt Car Racer this month. That game is one of my favourites. A wild roller coaster of a game where you literally drive a car around a roller coaster. I played the C64 version for hours on end and listening to them […]

Megablast Banjo Remix
Here’s rather impressive remix of the Xenon 2 Megablast main title tune created by a talented banjo player! Long time readers may remember I used the original music in a video for a short but fun game of Bad Company 2. We joined a game with nobody on the other […]

Batman: Arkham Asylum reviews roll in
Oh yes, I remember well the original Batman The Movie game. Bloody good it was, even if I didn’t get that far in it. Amazing music to top it all off. I can still hear the first level beat in my head all these years later. I only played it […]

State of the Art by Spaceballs
This Amiga demo blew me away when I first saw it. There are better ones out there but I think the dancing figures were such an unusual feature at the time it struck a chord with a lot of people. Check out the follow up demo, Nine Fingers and other […]
