Readers of a certain age will almost certainly remember the CD-ROM revolution of the 1990s. Suddenly the entire games industry was fixated on filling shiny discs with streamable audio and heavily compressed pre-rendered video. This led to the new era of fully voiced games. Exciting, right? Unfortunately, like a puppy climbing the stairs, this proved to be somewhat of a…
In this edition of Retro Revisited, we’ll be looking back at Syndicate Wars, the much-anticipated sequel to one of the best real-time action-strategy games of the early 90’s, Syndicate.

The game…

The game was released on various platforms, but the most loved version was on the ZX Spectrum. For those of you that are somehow not familiar with this game, you take…
One of the most significant advances in computing technology during the early 1990s was, undoubtedly, the proliferation of CD-ROM technology. The transition to optical media meant that software and games developers suddenly found themselves with an enormous 650 MB of storage capacity at their disposal, exceeding anything even remotely practicable with floppy disks or ROM-based cartridges. The arrival of CD-ROM…
If you’re a regular reader of Vintage is the New Old, you will know that we mostly feature old and new games for Vintage computers and game consoles.

The corpse of the interactive movie is set to be resurrected in suitably gruesome style this Halloween when Attic Door Productions aims to release it’s new crowd-funded game, The 13th Doll. Although not strictly a true sequel, the developer has licensed the rights to that of developer Trilobyte’s classic mid-90’s interactive CD-ROM title, The 7th Guest. For those unfamiliar, The 7th…
