My stepdaughter Shafa has always been an avid mobile gamer. I have tried to convert her to PC gaming since I married her mother, but I haven't been very successful --she always prefers watching me play rather than playing the PC games herself. Last Saturday night, however, was different; apparently …

Wow. I don't know anything about that game, but that box does nothing to make me care. In fact I had to stare at it for a bit to even figure out what game it was. Hard to read, indeed. It's also interesting to note that Zone Raiders has more interesting, more gameplay-relevant cover art, despite …

It's a good thing that all employees were safely evacuated during the fire. The potential scarcity of high end DAC doesn't concern me though. Unless my speakers are JBL Everest or Yamaha NS-2000s, I see no point of using megabuck DAC with its own master clock and what-have-you. Yes, JBL titanium …

Anyway, how about posting your least favorite cover design for a change? https://i.postimg.cc/Lsp0qZWL/video-game-cover-hi-octane.jpg Perhaps the most uninteresting video game cover art I've ever seen. Above is my least-liked video game cover art: the box is dominated by drab, boring, washed-out …

I'll just leave another one of my favourites here. :) really love this shot and angle. If you take a good look you'll see some new detail every time. https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/1046-terra-nova-strike-force-centauri-dos-front-cover.jpg Indeed, the cover is subtle but detailed, like …

I'm still less than 18 hours into BaK and nearing the end of Chapter 1. I'm already thinking ahead to the next game I want to play and I believe it may end up being Cybermage.

Fire at Will? What did Will do to deserve that? My brother's name is Will, so "Fire at Will" and "through sheer force of Will" have always been jokes between us. Will was driving enemy tank. Nothing personal, really. On serious note, the game's AI has a certain flaw, that a tank will default to …

If emulation was perfect, sure. But it actually sucks. Of course emulation is not perfect, but saying it sucks isn't really accurate.

Both excellent, I have a feeling the original style is inspired from still paintings of military objects in real life. An example that comes to mind : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Odqg6_k5E8 In any case, I hope more Vogoners would post pictures of their game cover. Computer game boxes are …

To be honest, I found myself less and less relying on retro computer hardware to play old games. The primary reason I build retro machines is to play unaccelerated, textured mapped 3D games in 640x3480 and above; GLide games; and games that only runs on Windows 9x. But CPU gets faster, making it …
