Atari Projects is a cool website offering suggestions for projects you can do with your Atari computer or game console, including the time you would take to complete the task. Their latest article is particularly interesting for me, who loves a vintage reading material (I am currently reading ANALOG, for example). The article presents a series of links to selected…
Amiga owners didn’t have too much to shout out about when it came to beat-em-ups, and the less said about the Street Fighter II port the better. A few contenders had made a case for themselves, such as Team17’s Body Blows and TerraMarque’s Elfmania, but in 1994 a new challenger arrived from developer NAPS Team and publisher Gremlin Interactive.

I wanted to do this music compilation album for some time now but life was always in the middle. Finally I found the time and I am presenting you the “Amiga Mixed Music Compilation –…
RetroAcción, a Spanish non-profit association dedicated to retro computing studies, has announced a contest to celebrate the Nintendo Game Boy 30th anniversary. From the contest page: “The goal of this contest is to encourage the development of new titles and productions for the Game Boy, so the videogame can be of any genre and complexity and can be programmed in…
1989 was a big year for me — Nintendo had taken North America by storm and just about everyone I knew had an NES console at home.
