One of the principle reasons why I enjoy retro gaming so much is that it affords the opportunity to indulge in some nostalgic memories from my childhood. Other times, however, it can be out of sheer curiosity more than anything else, which was certainly the case when I decided to review ‘Dragon’s Curse‘ for the TurboGrafx-16. I fear that the…
In the history of all of mankind’s worst conflicts, none was as fiercely fought as the Great Playground Computer War (1982 to 1992, depending on how long you were willing to hold a grudge). On one side, you had the might of Sir Clive’s Sinclair army, brandishing the mighty ZX Spectrum, on the other, the Jack Tramiel’s troops, a bunch…
As some of you will remember, not long ago I got myself a Commodore VIC-20. This was a new one on me, having previously only dipped a thruster into the Commodore Galaxy via the C64 and the Amiga. But I do love my early 8-bits…. Well, I can tell you that I continue to be impressed! The VIC-20 doesn’t have…
Clueless Gamer coming at you once again, I know it’s been a while, but the real life train seems to keep trucking through the Clueless Household of late. But rest assured I am back. Today I’m continuing my plunge into the world of awful carts on the NES with a look at Chubby Cherub. Admittedly, I never played this game, and…
Clueless Gamer coming at you once again for a look at another revered and hated video game – Renegade – which pops in the charts at #16 on Cracked.com’s List of the 20 Worst NES titles of all time. My first thought on researching this game was – why is it on a bad list? It has action, fighting, suspense,…
Hello to my faithful readership! Clueless Gamer coming at you once again, today we’re continuing my review of a review (who does that?) of the 20 Worst NES Games with a game I’ve never played before, Super Pitfall for the NES. When I was a little more Clueless and a lot younger, my Grandpappy Gamer had an Atari 2600 at…
A reflection on a new machine in my life; the Commodore VIC-20. All Commodore machines have always held an elusive, golden glow for me. Back in the 80’s I had an Acorn Electron from 1983 onwards, and still have that little beauty now. As Acornified as I was, and still am, I hankered after a C64. Then, towards the late…

30 years ago, in 1982, before Jordan Mechner found world wide acclaim from his now famous ‘Prince of Persia’ series of games, Jordan developed a little known game called ‘Karateka’ on an Apple 2, while he was still at Yale University. He was just 17. (At 17 I couldn’t even tie my shoelaces, let alone write a videogame!) Back then…
