Thats a good one, Moon Cresta, looks the part but wow, such a big miss, just horrible to play. Golden Axe, well I never actually thought of that until I realised yeah thats actually pretty annoying to be honest and I never play it, I wouldnt say its rubbish though. Altered Beast I find disappointing...

Console : Sega Master System. Best overall arcade-at-home experience, wide variety and decent-to-really-good ports most of the time. Computer : Amiga. Just sheer variety of both original games and arcade ports, that amazing sound chip, and lets not skirt around it, 'free' games. Arcade : Donkey Kong...

just saw this today, haven't played it yet, damn how cool is that? Free mini adventure, and I rate Thimbleweed Park in my top 3 adventures of all time so this is a treat.

I'm trying to beat the all-time high score on arcade (MAME) 'Donkey Kong' and failing tremendously.

I'm sitting on the fence with this one.

Both. I enjoy playing the games I loved but also venture out into the worlds of other systems. I have found out in recent years the rather terrifying realisation that those rose-tinted glasses, once firmly welded on have somewhat lost their grip; the games I once felt superior on 'my' systems just p...

I think the one that blew me away the most way the Tetris players in 'Ecstasy Of Order". Prior to watching that, I thought I was a pretty decent gamer... but that sure set me straight! That was just out of this world.. their reflexes and powers of concentration really are otherworldly, just about.

Get Lamp... I hadn't seen that one, cheers guys, that was a good one. After that I watched the Infocom documentary also by Jason Scott, and I even preferred that one over Get Lamp. Wish I'd kept track of the doco's Ive seen, starting to become forgetful in my older age :P But more often than not I f...

maybe stalking lara croft about bolivia in TOMB RAIDER LEGEND ..... did i say stalking ..... i meant following and adventuring .....

ahh, good call (not the stalking bit) the last Tomb Raider looked absolutely stunning.

Hmm, that's a good one. For me its a split between the City of Lost Heaven in Mafia which immerses you so effectively in another time period, and the amazing sepia-shaded world of Resident Evil 4 of which there is nothing quite like.

loved the issue, so much good stuff. Conan... wow that was a great surprise, just painfully short though, I wish it was an interview twice as long! The Jet Set Willy feature was fantastic, Matthew Smith is such an interesting individual, and a laugh to boot. And as mentioned above by Whazeboo, Fist ...

Making of Conan?? Oh wow... looking forward to this!!

I want to know what that machine Darran has in his collection that has a coin slot and Outrun running on it... never seen the likes of it before, is it a MAME setup of some kind??

Super Mario Land on Gameboy hit that perfect point for me, in terms of playability, lastability and difficulty level, it just got everything right.

yes, haven't seen it yet but well done to the team, what an awesome effort to get to 200, huge achievement, and hugely grateful for your consistently great output. Well done guys, absolutely fantastic.
