In September, the retro collection Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration received its first paid DLC, The Wider World of Atari. Next week (8th Nov) the second piece of paid DLC launches, featuring another 19 games. The First Console War, as it’s known, details the battle between the Atari 2600 and Mattel’s Intellivision through a new …
QUByte Interactive are currently wrapping up their annual digital event, during which the indie publisher revealed a handful of new titles and updates to existing ones. Some of these titles were revealed a while ago, including a console release of the N64 platformer Glover and the unique survival horror Saborus – which sees a chicken trying …
Perfectly timed for Halloween, the Sometimes You published horror romp Self-Delusion has launched on the digital services for just over a tenner. We’ve spent some time with it, and it’s certainly an oddity. This isn’t so much a horror adventure or a narrative driven affair, but rather a peculiar survival game based on Slavic folklore. …
It looks like we’re in for some retro action this December, with TAITO Milestones 3 set to launch on 10th Dec. This is, as it happens, the same day the scrolling beat’em up Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is out. A potentially expensive day for retro diehards! TAITO Milestones 3 is due both digitally …
Rebellion has released a surprise revival of the Bitmap Brothers’ futuristic sports game Speedball – something of an icon when it comes to UK gaming history, closely associated with the Amiga in particular. Speedball is available now in early access on PC for £14.99/$17.99. Taking place in 2138, it sees two teams of cybernetically augmented players …
December sees another dual game cart for the Evercade. As many owners will testify, Blaze’s dual carts tend to be pretty good, with the standard generally higher and the games themselves more complex. Metal Dragon and Life on Mars are two modern indie Mega Drive games from Spanish studio Kai Magazine Software, known for pushing …
We never expected Blaze’s line of Toaplan cartridges to reach number 4 quite so quickly, especially when Toaplan Arcade 3 hasn’t released yet. We aren’t complaining though – Toaplan’s back catalogue hasn’t exactly been overexposed over the years. Due out in December, Toaplan Arcade 4 will include six titles. Oddly, they aren’t exclusively arcade titles. …
Following on from yesterday’s STAR WARS Episode I: Jedi Power Battles re-release reveal, publisher Aspyr has officially announced Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered. Due February 14th, it’ll be the third re-release from Aspyr in so many months, with Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered also due in December. Core Design’s Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider: …
Digital Eclipse’s block rockin’ Tetris Forever collection – the latest in their Gold Master Series – will include over fifteen games in total, mostly stemming from Nintendo formats. This is in addition to new title Tetris Time Warp, which mixes different mechanics from various Tetris games. Here’s the list of confirmed titles, as provided by …
Aspyr are going all-in with their Lucasarts partnership, readying 2000’s STAR WARS Episode I: Jedi Power Battles – originally released on PS1 and Dreamcast – for a re-release. This is one of the older Star Wars games we didn’t expect to see gain a digital dust-off considering review scores at the time were average at best. …
eastasiasoft – best known for their weekly indie drops, mostly of the 2D shooter variety – are readying Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition for Steam. Announced for consoles some time ago, the Switch version is about to gain a physical release too. Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition is due out next year, …

The Xbox Tokyo Game Show broadcast saw the reveal of TANUKI: Pon’s Summer, a laid-back adventure starring a lazy tanuki who always means well. True to its name, it’s set in a Japanese town over the course of a hot and hazy summer. The developers pooled inspiration from their time spent in Kyoto, Aomori, Sapporo …
After swirling rumours and a last minute leak, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered has been officially announced. Due on all formats, this collection of gothic action adventures from Aspyr brings together Crystal Dynamic’s Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 with restored and higher resolution textures, new camera and control options, …
We haven’t seen a great deal of PS Vita remasters over the years, with the reason likely being that Sony’s ill-fated handheld was pretty unique. The touchscreen, reverse touchpad, and the handheld’s graphics capabilities all played a part in the way its games were designed. Plus, many were designed for on-the-go play too. To bring …
