Star Wars: Dark Forces is LucasArts’ much-loved first-person shooter originally released in 1995. This remaster, which arrives just shy of 30 years later, is in the works at Nightdive Studios, the video game restoration specialist behind the well-received System Shock remake and Turok and Quake remasters.
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I really need to find better sources of retro gaming information... the well always seems to be dry at the usual places I visit....
"The PowKiddy RGB30 is a surprising device. With a 4-inch, 1:1 (square) aspect ratio and 720x720 resolution, it scales a number of retro systems extremely well..."
Time Extension recently posted this excellent interview with Cameron Sheppard and Mike Merren, formerly of Crawfish Studios, about its ambitious Game Boy Advance port of Street Fighter Alpha 3, and how it significantly contributed to the downfall of the company. Numerous delays to the game led to Crawfish losing the royalties it...
I purchased this game a year or two ago and didn't think much of it, as it doesn't make a strong first impression. However, if you really dig into it, and get past the ninja werewolf (!?) that caps off the first level, you start to see the hidden brilliance of Goblin Sword....
I loved the original game in arcades. There was a feel to Exerion that most other shooters of its era lacked... rather than stopping on a dime, your ship instead glides like a kite, turning the action into a cosmic ballet. Now THAT'S galactic dancing!...
Time Extension reports that a team of programmers is working to bring Mortal Kombat II, one of the most popular video games of the 1990s, to the 3DO, one of the... least popular video game systems of the 1990s....
Good news for Genesis and Neo-Geo owners hoping for a new bone to chew... Neofid's DaemonClaw has hit its Kickstarter goal of $53,736, two days after the fundraiser started. Seems people really, REALLY want this game. Like, yesterday....
Ethan Lee has been keeping your favorite indie games running for years by porting them to Linux. Now he wants developers to start thinking about “maintenance” instead of “remasters.”
Gematsu reports that the Nintendo DS game Game Center CX (known in America as "Retro Game Challenge") and its sequel (known in America as "unreleased") will come to the Nintendo Switch at some yet undetermined point in the future....
In the grand tradition of Punch Out!! and Wade Hixton's Counter Punch comes Big Boy Boxing, from Alpha Beta Gamer. This demo lets you mix it up with everyone from steroid-charged pugilists to Mr. Adyltmen, who is absolutely an adult man and not three kids in a trenchcoat....
I know it's probably not a common thing for someone to want, but some people play on handhelds with 4:3 displays (Retroid Pocket 2+/2S), CRTs, etc. I'm just curious if 4:3 patches exist or could be made for emulated PSP games.
I know Daijisho automatically scrapes, which is cool, but I'm not always crazy about the way it scrapes box art. I have an emulation station setup on my PC and I'd really like to copy the box art images from there and import them into Daijisho, but I can't find where those images are stored on my Android device (Retroid Pocket...
Video games are an expensive hobby, but the truly determined among us find ways to make it work, even on a tight budget. In an interview with My Retro Life, John Hancock talks about a special Christmas when he received a TurboGrafx-16. His mother was ashamed that a clearance priced game console at Toys 'R Us was all she could...
Hot on the trail of ten AtGames Flashback consoles and the poorly received VCS comes yet another Atari console, the 2600 Plus. What's so "plus" about this machine, anyway? Well, it runs actual Atari 2600 cartridges... most of them, anyway. It also plays Atari 7800 games, and runs the libraries of both systems in crisp HDMI,...
It's not just Street Fighter 2, but a lot of competitors, particularly King of Fighters. You've heard the line from Terry Bogard before, I'm sure... "KOF was just a front for something bad?" Yes, Terry, yes! Just like the last fourteen times! Like the time they were going to resurrect an unstoppable eight-headed serpent from the...
Andre from Black Nerd Comedy looks back at the late 1980s and 1990s, when gamers really had to work to get their thrills. There was no internet to bring you a world of gaming goodness... you had to leave your house, touch grass, then quickly leave grass and walk into an arcade, or a Blockbuster Video, or a friend's house, to...
After many weeks of effort between a group of developers and testers, we are proud to announce the release of NetherSX2, a modification for AetherSX2 on android....
Who'd have thunk the Intellivision would still be going strong forty-five years after its release? That's forty-five years longer than its would-be successor the Amico lasted......
Remember Parasol Stars? Possibly not; it's one of the more obscure games in the Bubble Bobble series, released for the Turbografx-16 instead of the more popular Sega Genesis and Super NES....
