Go to newsagent with your mum or dad, look over the £2.99 games on cassette whilst they pick a newspaper. Take your pocket money that's saved from 50p a week, buy a game for your Amstrad CPC6128 with cassette player connected via audio cables, get home and load it up whilst eating a Twix bar. Bliss
The later years of The Hit Squad: beloved budget label of the UK 8-bit microcomputer game scene. They were still providing solid re-releases on the Amiga in 1992-1993 (and for Atari ST and DOS) and were keeping me happy in cheaper games, just as they had on C64.

Who doesn’t want to play Tetris with famous structures in the background and a choice music selection?

The hardest track in any game ever, and it’s only the second of the championship 💀

Can’t recommend the Resident Evil Archives book enough if you like doing lots of research for an upcoming article/want to feel your blood pressure rising at the sight of ALL THE CRANKS

During the developer Q&A stream for Ridge Racer's Arcade Archives release, a treasure trove of development materials and historical documents were shown off! It's truly wonderful to see all of these items well preserved after all these years. (1) #arcadehistory #coinophistory #namco

Today there is a new Mario Kart, but let’s not forget the king of the arcade also FINALLY gets a home release today, and it’s glorious!

I spoke to @harryholmwood.bsky.social about how he created the tracks for Demo 1, the first OPM UK discs, the T-Rex and Manta-Ray demos, and more.
All the thanks to Harry for taking the time to chat with me!

This was a great article as always from Adam.

This news has been truly heartbreaking for me. Out of my 25 years working in games, being part of Codemasters rally games was a huge part of it, and something I will always be proud of.

Just completed 6 Golden Coins on the Pocket, it’s been years since I played through it as my go to is always SML1 or 3. Still a class game and a big jump over the first game.
