Yes, Cassettes still rule.
I share my audio cassette and portable player collection, which includes albums from my youth as well as newer releases and even some rare advance release albums! Collecting cassettes is like adopting tiny plastic time machines that only speak in hiss and warble—each one a lovable, rewindable relic of an era when music came with liner notes you could squint at in the dark.

About Asteroids, Atari’s biggest arcade hit
After the breakout success of Space Invaders in 1978, Atari was no longer the hot game maker. Sure, their games were popular, but they needed something that that could be the next “big thing”. Space Invaders in 1978 and Star Wars in 1977 demonstrated that a sci-fi theme was probably the way to go. In April 1979, Asteroids was conceived and co-designed by Lyle Rains and Ed Logg.

Interview by: Gemma @ Juicy Game Reviews / TheGebs24 Kev Bayliss - The man tasked with bringing Donkey Kong to life on the Super Nintendo Kev Bayliss! What an industry legend. I first learnt about Kev Bayliss for his work on redesigning Donkey Kong for the Super Nintendo Release of Donkey Kong Country. Of course, Donkey Kong existed long before Kev had the pleasure of bringing him to Donkey Kong Country; a 16bit Super Nintendo staple title nowadays.

Guest Blog post by Adam Foster @AngelicWiganer / @snoopfozziefozz Is Ghost of Tsushima worth playing in 2025? I recently have devoted a lot of time to my PlayStation 5. This has been as a result of obtaining a PlayStation Portal. It’s been the best thing I have bought. In my house where we have a wife and two small children who are all vying for control of the main television in the house, it’s been a delight to just let them fight for control while I sit on my portal happily playing away.
