by

After all the “pew-pews” yesterday in Operation Wolf, most of you are no doubt tired and need a well-earned sit down.  Well pull up a chair, get a very big sheet of paper, some pencils, a big rubber, book a week off work and load up Dun Darach – which is No.#57 in the Your […]

by

Scott Watson reviews Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival… Nostalgia – a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one’s life, to one’s home or homeland, or to one’s family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. When Dino Dini’s Kick Off […]

Emma Withington reviews Prison Architect… What sort of prison will you build? Me?

Not simple prompt based choices, mind you, the […]

by

From one oddly named game to another today, we leave Eric and the Floaters and zoom over to the rather colourful Knot in 3D which arrives at number #60 in the Your Sinclair Top 100. Knot in 3D was was created by Malcolm E. Evans in 1983, and was released via New Generation Software – […]

Video Game Review – The Technomancer

by

Tom Powter reviews The Technomancer… It dawned on me fairly quickly that The Technomancer, despite its disappointing presentation and overly-cumbersome gameplay, was actually trying legitimately hard to tell a compelling story.
