The internet is perhaps the greatest thing that could happen to human civilization. Without it we can’t call people in other countries, buy stuff online, stream TV and movies, build huge communities, and much more.

Gone but not forgotten: Remembering the lost SEGA consoles

2023-05-12
By: John Bowe
On: May 12, 2023
In: Retro gaming features

When you think of SEGA consoles, you think of something from the past… Deceased family members, friends, pets and other created things; we carry our memories and their remembrance with us long after those people, those animals, and those things have passed. The form this takes can vary in sentimentRead More →

Evercade arcade series carts

Why can’t I buy Evercade cartridges in shops?

2023-05-11
By: Christian Cawley
On: May 11, 2023
In: Analysis

Perhaps the best thing about the Evercade platform is that the physical cartridges come in old-school-style cases. The problem with that, however, is that it’s pretty hard to find Evercade carts in the shops. Why is this? Why must I wait for an unreliable Amazon delivery (it has a poorRead More →

It’s Time to End the Jumble Sale Nature of Retro Gaming Stores

2023-05-06

The lost titans: Sega Saturn game sequels that weren’t

2023-05-04
By: John Bowe
On: May 4, 2023
In: Retro gaming features

It promised much, but unfortunately many a Sega Saturn game failed to materialize, including these potential sequels… In its less than three-year run in the U.K., the less-than-popular Sega Saturn quietly went about amassing quality games across broad genres only for follow-ups to be abandoned or else not considered atRead More →

Remember the Amazing Star Wars Arcade Game? It’s 40 This Month

2023-05-02
By: Christian Cawley
On: May 2, 2023
In: Analysis

I woke up to an interesting reminder this morning: that the Star Wars arcade game – a machine where I spent (and lost – read on) a lot of money over the years, was now 40. But of course it is. It hit arcades in 1983, not long before ReturnRead More →

Daydream Believer: Sega’s Dreamcast and the Charm of Almost Winning

2023-04-20
By: John Bowe
On: April 20, 2023
In: Retro gaming features

The Sega Dreamcast was destined to be a game-changer – just not in the way people expected… Sega, that company which operated within the rarefied commercial airspace of the brilliant, the bonkers and the bust.
