Playing Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel, a Resident Evil-inspired horror game with some challenging puzzles.

A calming Sunday with @nightdivestudios.bsky.social's remaster of the Raven classic, Heretic

Today I'm playing Vradark's Revenge on the #spectrumnext, a neat action-RPG

Just finishing up an interview with the lovely Chris Hinsley, ex-Mikro-Gen coder and creator of the magnificent Wally Week. In the next issue of CRASH Magazine.

Recruited Monoco to my expedition. Took a bit of persuading though

I spoke with Torben Bakager, the co-creator of the influential Amiga shmups Hybris and Battle Squadron, about the impact of the Amiga launch on game dev 40 years ago. Such a pleasure… my first computer, an Amiga, made me fall for shmups, and inspired my career choice.

Just completed this excellent little retro-styled point and click game, The Drifter. Full review in the next issue of Fusion, but basically well worth £15!

Condemned done, on to Expedition 33. Certainly a good looking game.

JESUS CHRIST

Playing Ghostwire: Tokyo

40 years ago, this was Ultimate's lineup, which I feel was when the company was at its pinnacle. An absolutely terrific lineup of classics here, all featuring phenomenal art.
