I wasn’t aware there were “scure” 3DO games.

Feathers in your copy of Edge Magazine. That's the 3DO Legacy I guess. Otherwise what has the 3DO done for you? Let's see what you could have been playing if you had £500 spare in 1993 youtu.be/bs1wTnnMLoU

youtu.be/sveGh3ODwrc This week, it was finally time to tackle a game that I had been afraid of since I had first picked it up, Toys. Toys is based on the Robin Williams movie of the same name, that...doesn't have the best reputation. Yeah, the game is bad too.

Hello all, as with one of my previous requests i'm currently pulling together a BBC radio program on the growth of the games industry, I have a few devs from the 80s and 90s here who can hopefully help me and also maybe connect me to non-UK devs from the 80s and 90s too? Cheers

From the decade they called eightari. (Sub editor please check)

Have you kept up with the Atari today? Wait... did you keep up with them in the 80s? If you did, well done. If you didn't well now you can by watching this youtu.be/_qj3hHqHztw

Why do you launch a CPC games magazine 2 years after the machine was discontinued? What is the greatest CPC game of all time? Why do you somehow have fewer games pages than the serious magazine you replaced? And what's with all the printers? youtu.be/r9jDnWGsKKU

Got a quick little #homebrew W.I.P I wanted to give a shoutout "Inpuca" has made this rad little demo of #Sonic running on #GameBoy Color For now, it's mostly just a tech demo, but it's off to a good start Inpuca also said that a ROM will be available soon youtu.be/dUbpXsB8Q0U #retrogaming #GBC

youtu.be/POjdE8JNyVU This week on www.zilogandmoto.com, it's back to the reviews! And I figured a good way to come back would be a 32X, with a game that clearly is having a bit of an identity crisis.

Iiiiiiiiinteresting.

Remember, never play cult Japanese train games in public. That would be Densha De Gache.

A happy 40th birthday to Gokuaku Doumei Dump Matsumoto and Hokuto no Ken. Or as you probably know them, Pro Wrestling and Black Belt on History's Greatest Console, both released in Japan this day in 1986.

Nah

But where do the Segas park?

Videogames should be played at 50hz, as God intended.

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
