After years of cancellations and several false starts, an official Mortal Kombat collection is in the works. Arguably, the best team in the business has been assigned the task – retro specialists Digital Eclipse, who brought us Atari 50 and Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story. Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is out later this year and …
After a two-year hiatus, the cutesy hand drawn platformer Little Nemo and The Guardians of Slumberland is back in the public’s eye with a new gameplay trailer. If the name rings a bell, that’ll be because Capcom release a Little Nemo game on the NES, which was technically a movie tie-in as it coincided with …
Three-man Spanish studio Anima Project are keeping true to their name, currently hard at work on remasters of the tabletop RPG inspired duo Anima: Gate of Memories I & II.

Nintendo treated the European market as an afterthought throughout much of the ‘90s, with many releases in major franchises arriving months, if not years, later than the rest of the world. A handful of key SNES titles such as Earthbound, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and Super Mario RPG even skipped this region entirely. It was …
There was a very distinct theme to the evening’s Evercade showcase: arcade games are on the horizon for the cartridge-based gaming system, and lots of ‘em. Firstly though, August’s NeoGeo Arcade 1 is being accompanied by a solo game cart. Roguecraft DX is an Amiga indie game that’s being bolstered with new content. It takes …
Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden are bringing the Game Boy Advance’s sci-fi adventure Scurge: Hive to modern formats. While a DS version exists, it seems reasonable to suggest the dual screen display and touch screen functionality was tricky to replicate on the likes of Xbox One. Surge: Hive was originally developed by Orbital Media and released …

Who launches a new first-person shooter the same day as a new entry in the DOOM franchise? Perun Creative, that’s who. Kvark is gunning for a slightly different audience, mind, being inspired by such classics as Half-Life and Bioshock. Unlike DOOM: The Dark Ages, it’s also available on almost every format: PS5/PS4, Xbox Series/Xbox One, …
Taito’s Spica Adventure, a colourful arcade platformer from 2005, was due a console release in early 2024 but for whatever reason it failed to materialize.

We’re going back to the PS1 era with Labyrinth of the Demon King, a dungeon crawler with a purposely grimy and low poly 32-bit aesthetic. FromSoftware’s King’s Field games were the biggest influence, we feel. Set in feudal Japan, you play as a foot soldier known as Ashigaru, whose mission is to slay the Demon …
