I'm back with another video this week! Taking a look at another incarnation of R-Type this time - specifically the Sega Master System version. Check out the handsome devil in this thumbnail: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5feI5yXoAAseq0.jpg Here's a direct link to the review: https://youtu.be/qQPixUG1...

Despite technology, work, and a billion other factors doing their damnedest to stop me, I've uploaded another video today. In this one, I take a look at the Atari 2600 version of JAWBREAKER, which differs quite a bit from the version of it that graced the Apple II and Atari 8 bit home computers (and...

This week's video is live. And in it, I tackle my first review of a PC Engine game. It's Data East's OVERRIDE. And it's just a little bit different to your standard up-the-screen shooter. Want to know how? Well you'll have to watch the video! Only then can I bathe in sweet, sweet YouTube money and f...

New video is up! I tackle a big one this time, with a look at the Sega 32X version of Yu Suzuki's SPACE HARRIER. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2H5SiCXcAElKGl.jpg Direct link to video: https://youtu.be/9vVVjThl-qQ Super special thanks to Keiren Hawken for helping out on this one with some footage of t...

Alright everyone? It's been an age since I last posted on here, thanks to my busy rockstar lifestyle (ahahaha!) but I'll poke my head back in just to let folks know that I've just started uploading the next batch of videos, in what I'm grandiosely calling Season Two of my YouTube gaming show. This s...

I do really like the game, but I find the CPU opposition very cheap in comparison to F-Zero or Wipeout. Even on the easiest difficulty, you practically have to complete three perfect laps boosting the entire time to come first, and if one of the CPU ships manages to give you a good rattle... forget...

Fast RMX - took me a while to get to grips with the speed must be my age :( - but it's a nice WipeOut clone. Stick with it! I picked it up not long after buying my Switch. I'd heard mixed reviews, which was off-putting, and it does truthfully take a while to get the hang of. But it really is good f...

Heads up! I hope everyone has had a nice Xmas break (or survived it, at the very least!) I'm wrapping up 2018, and indeed, season one of my YouTube gaming show, with a look at Sega's Megadrive version of COLUMNS. And nobody is more surprised than me at the fact that I found enough stuff to talk abou...

The latest video on the channel arrives a bit late thanks to technical difficulties (it was actually supposed to go up after another video - and both of them decided to act up during production. Oh joy!) BUT! Better late than never! And this one's a look back at SUPER R-TYPE on the Super Nintendo. h...

YES! I love this game, it's so under rated and a big favourite of mine. It might be a Juno First clone but I played this one first, great memories. 😎 And THAT'S the kind of reaction I like to see my videos getting! I only discovered Beamrider fairly recently - last year, I think. But I've been itch...

Time for another review-me-do! This one scratches my itch for more Atari stuffs on the channel. Behold Dave Rolfe's awesome BEAMRIDER for the 2600!

Actually, I can corroborate from my interactions with both Sarah and Kieran that they are indeed friends. And very good people. Greyfox - you can brand people 'fakes' and small fry on here all you like. But the fact is, before this thread appeared, I didn't know who you were. After the antagonistic ...

It took a while to get this one uploaded (LOADS of weird issues with ideo capture, and the video itself came out at a ridiculous size) but the latest game to suffer my exacting scrutiny is MARBLE MADNESS on the Sega Master System. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DsFEI8_XcAI-6pX.jpg Watch it via this lin...

There's no way they'd make it with an optical drive though. That'd add another ten dollars to the parts cost and increase the failure rate tenfold, all for the sake of a relatively small number of customers who already presumably have other devices to play their existing games on. Similarly, adding...

I really feel conflicted about this product now. Overall, I'm leaning in the direction I stated right at the beginning when this was anounced. It really feels like Sony have have pulled this together quickly to make sure they cash in on the evident demand for these mini consoles. The line up of game...
