The traditional Retro Challenge is happening again throughout the month of April. The contest asks you to “do something interesting with an old computer, and blog about it for a month”. It is a great way to take that old project from the drawer and finish it. It could be a hardware project, a computer restoration, a new application or game,…
Regular readers to this site will know that I recently reviewed the conversion of Street Fighter II for the Commodore and found it, shall we say, somewhat lacking.

The game received massive amounts of pre-release coverage (and hype)…
