The year was 1992 and Commodore Amiga owners were going into paroxysms of excitement – I should know for I was one of them – because the unthinkable was happening – Street Fighter II, one of the best arcade fighters ever made, was soon to be released for the system. The game received massive amounts of pre-release coverage (and hype)…
Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties is an adult-oriented “romantic comedy” graphic adventure game developed and published by Kirin Entertainment for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. The game received a lot of negative attention for its abysmal production value, nonsensical story-line, poor acting and humour, and for primarily being presented as a slide show despite being advertised as a full motion video game. As a result,…

Now, there is a new kid on the block – Paleotronic Magazine!

By 1993, the Sega Master System was definitely a machine in decline. Having been supplanted by Sega’s own 16-bit Mega Drive console four years previously, and with the 32-bit Saturn console and 32X expansion due in the not-too-distant future, the future for the 8-bit Master System looked suitably bleak. Fortunately, there was still enough of fan base in certain territories…

Another original and unusual concept in which you must use your methane powers, whilst the game auto-scrolls you though some pretty tricky traps and enemies. I didn’t get very far at all.. In the…
