Putting an early expiration date on your hardware purchase.

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.

YouTube personality John Hancock takes a detailed look at the classic action game Super Mario Bros. This ordinarily wouldn't be a big deal, except the game is running on an unexpected console... the Intellivision, released in the late 1970s....

Good news for fans of the SF2000, the el cheapo handheld game device sold by AliExpress and other Chinese retail sites. YouTube user S1eepy reports that hobbyist programmer Adcockm has brought over twenty new emulators to the system. What this means is that in the near future, you could be playing the software libraries of over...

It's been a while since I've posted, hasn't it? Chalk it up to a lack of available retro gaming news and garden variety depression....

Only on Steam Deck. So that means it's trivial to allow everyone to play the game without an internet connection, but they just chose not to.

It's an incentive for devs to put their back catalogues to EGS, after they just laid off 800 employees because they spend too much money. Is it just me, or does everyone besides Epic know what the problem is with EGS?

Want more Transformers: Earthspark, but can't stand to wait around for the next season? Then good news! Transformers:

The always reliable Damien McFerran from Time Extension reports that Retro-Bit is set to release the Saturn Pro controller, a sequel of sorts to the original Sega Saturn joypad. That pad was absolutely fantastic for 2D games of all stripes, and especially versus fighting games, but the Saturn Pro pad adds two (tiny) analog...

Nearly three years after the initial launch of the PlayStation 5, Sony has revealed a redesign. Both the disc drive model and the digital model will be updated, but these two models aren't…

John Riccitiello is out, effective immediately. Na na na na. Na na na na. Hey hey hey. Goodbye.

It's an inauspicious anniversary, but the N-Gage is not as awful as its reputation would suggest. It was wrong-headed in its design, with an over-encumbered button layout and a tiny vertically oriented screen, but it could push polygons in a way no other handheld of the time could, particularly the Game Boy Advance....

Honestly, it was a little puzzling that the game didn't ship with these controls in the first place... the Dual Shock had been around for a few years, and the Playstation 2 came with these dual analog controllers by default. But hey, better twenty three years late than never, right? Special thanks to VanLaser for this much...

Well, this came out of left field. Time Extension reports that a team of two programmers have released a port/demake of SNK vs. Capcom for the Commodore 64. Not surprisingly, it's not a perfect conversion of Match of the Millennium for the Neo-Geo Pocket Color, with fewer features and chunky graphics. It is running on a forty...

Fanatical is going way out of left field with a selection of old school video games owned by Piko Interactive. They've been scooping up whatever abandoned IPs they can find from the 1990s, and most of these games from the island of misfit toys can be purchased in this collection for as little as fifty cents each....

This just in from Nintendo Everything... after decades of blissful ignorance, Americans will learn all about Horace, the hollow-eyed specter which starred in a handful of games for British computers....

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....

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Striking actors have voted to expand their walkout to include the lucrative video game market, a step that could put new pressure on Hollywood studios to make a deal with the performers who provide voices and stunts for games.

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!...

The hit massively multiplayer online game Final Fantasy 14 is to be officially adapted into a tabletop role-playing game....
