Dexterity (1990)

In the How to Play section of Dexterity’s manual SNK calls this a “ jigsaw puzzle, maze, and labyrinth game “. That’s a pretty unhelpful description, so I’ll give you mine: Dexterity is a Fucker Game. For the unfamiliar, FUCKER GAME, DEFINED: “a game that involuntarily makes you call it a Fucker…

What you could play this weekend

Nothing makes me feel quite so motivated as a camping trip, and not in a good way. It's like when you get to the end of a long holiday and right before you're due to return to work, you feel this sudden burst of inspiration to do all the things you soon won't be able to. I could have started a…

Grab Bag for Early July, 2026

Not a lot of bright spots in the past few weeks, and too many dark spots. EverQuest Legends I played OG EQ for about a week before I bounced, primarily on account of how group-based it was, how I could never join random people at the time, and how I didn’t know anyone else who played. I do have…

3 Things I Learnt from my Favourite Game in 2024

My favourite game in 2024 was Stray . The game was actually released in 2022, but after playing it for the first time this September I just can't get it out of my head. I really did not enjoy the first 60 minutes of the game. For some reason, the opening cutscene of the game included clipping cats…

Quick hit: Bujingai (PS2 / Red Entertainment / 2003)
