A new source port of the classic 1995 sci-fi racer, Wipeout, has just popped up on GitHub.

A new leak claims Sega is finally interested in reviving Altered Beast and the Gunstar Heroes franchises soon.

Just curious. A buddy of mine said he had a lot of lag, and some user reviews have said the same thing. But others have said it works great. I personally haven’t tried it.

Were there any card games like Magic: The Gathering for retro systems? I expect not, because the digital card game genre didn’t really “click” until later. But I thought I’d ask.

Based on disassembly of the PC DOS version, this port runs on PC, Mac and Linux and features many enhancements such as quick saving and the ability to mod the game including level design.

Revisiting the 1997 Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro joystick for PC! This started off as simple FFB stick nostalgia, showing off a few Windows 95 games, annnd ended up going down rabbit holes on gameport adapters, DirectX, patent trolls, and the quiet demise/resurrection of force feedback flight sticks.

Decided to open my Amiga emulator and play one of my favorites from my teenage years. If you’ve never played this game, you’ll be surprised when you do. 4 tables. It feels surprisingly realistic. The ball moves like on a real pinball table. The music is very late 80s early 90s, of course!

Played this game back back in the early 2000s era. I wish they made games like this again. Combat was a bit clunky but the music, story line, and voice acting were fantastic. Obviously left an impression nearly 20 years later.

This site is great for casual video game radio listening with a lot of retro game music...

Vigilante was a 1988 Irem coin-op, a kind of spiritual successor to 1984’s Kung Fu Master/Spartan X. Like the 1984 title, Vigilante had a simple premise - you walk to the right and beat up fools in front of you and behind you. There’s no pseudo-third-dimension, no in and out, it’s just straight up single plane brawling,...

I’ve recently been on an old school RPG kick and picked up Chrono Trigger which is a phenomenal game. Any other suggestions on similar games?

I was very lucky to find an almost good-as-new PSP 2000 locally. I am very excited about it! It will need a new battery though and it only came with an USB charger. Would appreciate any tips pertaining chargers and batteries. But if you have any gaming related suggestions or general tips I’m open for that too :)

Satanic Panic in 2023: 27 years later playing “Devil’s Crush” and still so far away from 1 billion points. Maybe the 700 Billion Club will come back from the dead and help me.

Since my vita can’t emulate ds games properly and I want to get my hands on different handhelds, I want to buy me a second hand model. Would you recommend the form factor of 2ds for bigger hands or are 2ds and 3ds clamshells are no sweat?

I remember playing Doom 3 on my pc at the time, and it was like 20 fps, maybe. I also remember the marketing on PC parts at the time having stickers like “Runs Doom 3” on them....

I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn’t realize it has multiple endings....

I had not played Diablo at the time so this game was my introduction to the genre...
