“Welcome to Mother Russia comrade!” At a time when tensions between super powers were at an all time high, at a time when the chill of ‘cold war’ penetrated the hearts of nations, there can be only one ending and no victories. The threat of global nuclear warfare was rife in the mid 80’s as the west and east entered…
Anyone remember “Hewson Consultants”? Allow me to elaborate. During the 80’s many companies producing games rose and fell amidst the great competition at the time.

The overall mission was assault…
There are very valid reasons why I no longer take my breaks in the nurse’s rest area any more. Firstly it gets too much when you’re the only male nurse on break and your surrounded by incessant droning and bitching. And secondly because some random guy wouldn’t stop harping on about how he loved Paperboy in the arcades as a child. All…
Wait…. what? I get to review again? The new game from RGCD?… Awesome. Super Bread Box is a conversion of the 2010 indie game Super Crate Box made for our beloved c64 system. The c64 version was originally made as a cut down version for the 2012 RGCD 16k competition, which it won. It has now been fleshed out to…
