By: Christian Cawley
On: January 17, 2026
In: Retro games news

Limited Run Games has announced Earnest Evans Collection for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam, bringing a pretty obscure 1990s action series to modern platforms. It’s out digitally now, with physical editions going up for pre-order from January 23. I’ll be honest: before this press release landed inRead More →

Bomb Jack is back – again – and this time it’s the 1993 arcade follow-up Bomb Jack Twin, arriving on modern consoles as part of Hamster’s Arcade Archives series. If you only know the original Bomb Jack, this one might surprise you. Bomb Jack Twin takes the same basic ideaRead More →

Touchdown Fever returns in the latest Arcade Archives release

2026-01-07
By: Christian Cawley
On: January 7, 2026
In: Retro games news

SNK’s Touchdown Fever was never going to be a mass-market hit in UK arcades. Released in 1987, it arrived at a time when American football was still something of a curiosity on this side of the Atlantic — shown late at night on Channel 4, vaguely understood, and often overshadowedRead More →

Now Space Invaders Part II joins Arcade Archives

2025-12-31

In: Retro games news

Space Invaders Part II has now been added to the record-breaking Arcade Archives series, which seems somewhat inevitable after last week’s addition of Space Invaders (which I honestly thought had already been added!) Originally released by Taito in 1979, Space Invaders Part II wasn’t just a lazy follow-up. It tookRead More →

Space Invaders hits Arcade Archives – A Christmas gift nobody expected

2025-12-25

In: Retro games news

There’s something oddly festive about this announcement, even if it arrives with a raised eyebrow. Space Invaders has finally landed on Arcade Archives, and the overriding feeling isn’t amazement — it’s “hang on, wasn’t this missing?” Apparently, yes. Until now. I’m very much not short on Space Invaders in myRead More →

In: Retro games news

Bandai Namco’s wild 1995 arcade actioner The Outfoxies has just been added to the Arcade Archives series, bringing one of the most chaotic, unpredictable arcade classics of its era to modern platforms. If you’ve ever wanted to relive (or discover) the no-rules assassination battles of this cult title, it’s nowRead More →

Trouble Witches FINAL! lands digitally on Switch and PS4

2025-12-15
By: Christian Cawley
On: December 15, 2025
In: Retro games news

I’ll be honest: games like Trouble Witches have always slightly baffled me. Not because they’re bad — far from it — but because their particular blend of cute anime witches and utterly ruthless bullet-hell chaos feels like something that shouldn’t work. And yet, much like Cotton, it very clearly does.Read More →
