August means summer and the usual software drought, as the industry snoozes ahead of the busy autumn months and the arrival of the usual suspects: a Need For Speed game in September, the new FIFA update in October and the latest Call Of Duty release in November. We know the drill. Yet this August was different, as little-known Brit developer Rocksteady unveiled a contender for not just Game Of The Year, but Game Of This Generation. Batman: Arkham Asylum landed on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at the end of the month to huge critical acclaim. It wasn’t a surprise hit – previews had been buzzing about it for months, with GamesMaster magazine calling it, “One of the most exciting titles of 2009,” but its brooding mix of stealth gameplay,…

» MASTER SYSTEM » 1990 » SEGA One of the things Nick and I bonded over when he first started on the magazine was our love for Sega’s Master System. We both had the console as youngsters (me when it first launched, him a good while later in lieu of a Mega Drive) and we both loved its interesting library of games and numerous arcade conversions (Nick being a huge Sega fan). Nick was a supporter of the underdog, in all aspects of life and that also extended to videogames. Anyone who owned Sega’s 8-bit console will know that it’s rarely remembered with the same fondness as the NES, so Nick always enjoyed writing about the system, whether it was an in-depth tech piece, or a nostalgia-driven article on a game…

■ Vast landscapes, gigantic monsters and tender companionship – all of these are part of the huge emotional journey Shadow Of The Colossus takes players on, and none of it would be quite so hard hitting without the evocative soundtrack. Created by the film and game composer Kow Otani, who was shown the Nico demo by the team to help him understand their vision, the 42 tracks of orchestral music are sublime. Team Ico weaved these sounds into the game in a dramatic, dynamic way. In an interview video released by Sony to coincide with the PS4 remaster of the game, Otani poignantly commented, “The music feels like you might have saved someone you love, but you couldn’t save everyone you loved. For example, in the track End Of The…

■ In an early script for Reign Over Me, the 2007 drama starring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle, the plot included a generic arcade shooting game. Sandler’s character was a man consumed by the loss of his family in the September 11 attacks, and his means of coping was to wrap himself up in gaming. After reading the script, the film’s editor Jeremy Roush suggested the alternative of working Shadow Of The Colossus into the plot, even going so far as to sit director Mike Binder down for a demo. In an interview with Kotaku, Roush pointed out that, “You could see where someone who was dealing with 9/11 would be engrossed by a giant that keeps collapsing over and over again.” The fact that Sony published both the game…

■ Monty On The Run is best known for its blistering in-game soundtrack but there was a second piece of music which played on the high-score entry screen. Far slower than the energetic main theme, its melancholy nature still proved to be highly memorable to the point that some fans believe it to be the finest chiptune of all time. The reflective feel of this particular tune was intriguing, players would be entering their high score and learning where they were in the leaderboard and yet any feeling of triumph was being tempered by the musical reminder that their successful session had come to an end. Complex and catchy, it was a slice of genius to some degree. It’s also worth pointing out that this particular tune was not unlike…

ZX SPECTRUM ■ The fact that the Spectrum Last Ninja 2 faithfully replicates the C64 original in monochrome is impressive, but everything being in black and white means you sometimes can’t tell where the ninja is. The pre-game tune is beep-y, and there are no ingame sound effects. AMSTRAD CPC ■ The Amstrad Last Ninja 2 could have used the CPC’s 16-colour mode, but instead it’s a port of the Spectrum version. It also has the same pre-game music instead of a three-voice tune. The one notable difference is that the border around its play area uses less colours. BBC MICRO ■ The low-resolution four-colour visuals in the BBC Micro Last Ninja 2 are a little garish, but they do the job. There are a lot less foes, although those you…

Be honest with yourself now, just how much did seeing Sonic here on these pages trigger a rage in you? We gamers are a loyal bunch, and for some retro gaming fans there’s an allegiance that sits at the core of our very soul. For some of you (and you’ll know who you are) just the mere sight of the blue hedgehog is enough to recall playground squabbles over the early days of The Console Wars. Whether you align yourself with Nintendo’s plumber or the (significantly) cooler Sega urchin, the point is that Sonic has for decades been not only the face of Sega but the spirit mascot through which we filter out the good people from the bad. More significant than Xbox vs PlayStation, more storied than Doom vs…

» MEGA DRIVE » 1990 » PARK PLACE PRODUCTIONS I’ve never been good at sports. As a youngster my puny frame and lack of coordination meant that I’d rarely get picked to play football and I always came last in any events I took part in during sports day. The irony of course, is that while I’m rather naff at sports in real-life, I do enjoy playing simulated versions of them, from Pro Evolution Soccer and NBA Jam to Virtua Tennis and John Madden Football. In fact, my interest in American football largely stems from first playing the game on a friend’s Mega Drive. Although I’d occasionally seen the odd game on late-night TV, I didn’t understand American Football at all at the time, and when my friend first suggested…

In 1992, Dino Dini was at a crossroads. The Kick Off phenomenon had given him the confidence to seek more control over his future projects, and the decision to finish working with Anco was a necessary move. Having already left London for the countryside of East Anglia with his young family, why did he also decide to part ways with his publisher? “I’d started development on Kick Off 3, but I overheard Anil Gupta talking to another developer who also had a football game,” admits Dino. “I asked Anil about loyalty, and he said he owed me none. That’s when I decided to take my game elsewhere.” The original Kick Off was released by Anco in 1989, followed in 1990 by Player Manager and the even more successful Kick Off…

» SATURN » 1996 » CAPCOM Although Nick was one of the sweetest guys on the planet, you certainly didn’t want to see his competitive side. We often used to joke that he was more man than machine when he punished us relentlessly on puzzlers like Puyo Puyo Tetris or Dr Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, and he was equally adept at pummelling us silly when playing fighting games. Nick would always select the default character whenever we played a beat-’em-up, so his pick for any Street Fighter game was always Ryu. And he didn’t even bother selecting a different set of clothes if it was available, he always went with that iconic white gi. I’m pretty sure he’d have been adept at any character he chose to master, but there was…

Ancient Corp’s CEO Yuzo Koshiro is also one of the most celebrated forces when it comes to Japanese videogame music composition. His work can be heard across so many classic titles, from Sonic The Hedgehog to the Streets Of Rage series, and he was something of a visionary in being among the first to present live orchestral performances of his soundtracks; a concept that is now a mainstay of videogame fan culture. What is rather less known, is his passion for arcade shooting games. “I’ve been profoundly influenced by arcade shoot-’emups from the late-Eighties to early Nineties,” Koshiro tells us. “Games from that era had an incredible sense of tension and polish, all within the confines of simple rules. The music, the visuals, the controls – everything came together to…

■ To say Ancient’s CEO Yuzo Koshiro is a bit of a legend when it comes to game music composing might even be an understatement. So adored is his work, that on occasion he has experiences typically reserved for celebrities. “In July 2025, we visited Brazil to promote Earthion at a retro gaming event,” remembers Limited Run Games’ Alexander Aniel, discussing a trip that he took with Koshiro. “When Koshiro arrived at passport control at the Sao Paulo airport, the immigration officer took a look at Koshiro’s passport, and then his face, and then stood up and asked him, ‘Are you Yuzo Koshiro?’ After Koshiro affirmed his identity, the immigration officer shook his hand and then turned to his colleague in the next booth, telling her that Koshiro was the…

» System: PC (tested), PS4, PS5, Switch, Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X » Buy it for: £24.99+ » Buy it from: Online It’s great to see scrolling fighters back in vogue and Cosmic Invasion is a really good one. After reinvigorating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Shredder’s Revenge, Tribute Games has now tackled Marvel’s Annihilation storyline and married it to a kinetic fighting engine. The 15-strong roster of characters range from well-known faces like Spider-Man and Wolverine to Nova and Beta Ray Bill and they all play very differently to each other. The tag-team mechanics are well implemented and it’s fun switching characters in and out to build up giant combos. It suffers from some harsh difficulty spikes and gets rather chaotic with four players, but it remains…

A theme of companionship runs through the works of Fumito Ueda. In Ico, released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, players guide an ethereal girl by the hand through an ancient world. In The Last Guardian, released on the PlayStation 4 in 2016, a close bond forms throughout the game with a giant animal. Between those two came Shadow Of The Colossus, the seminal, awe-inspiring action adventure that is now 21 years old, in which there is a sense of companionship with both the girl you are trying to resurrect from the dead, and to some extent, the giant creatures which you must destroy to achieve that goal. “There are many different directions in which computers can be used for expression – visuals, special effects, and so on. Among these,…

MINOTAUR A ■ “Thy first foe,” as the shrine spirit introduces it, towers above a cliff. Its internal, developer nickname was Minotaur A. HOW TO BEAT THEM: Bring the colossus to its knees by stabbing a weak spot on its left leg. Ascend its back, then attack the sigil on its head. MAMMOTH ■ Lurking in a seaside cave, this quadrupedal colossus will rear up and attempt to crush you and your horse Agro. HOW TO BEAT THEM: Whilst it rears, shoot an arrow at the underside of a hoof. Once it’s slumped, clamber up its fur, watching your stamina, and target the head. KNIGHT ■ One of the tallest colossi in the game, this behemoth stands in a circular arena wielding a long pillar of stone. HOW TO BEAT…

THIS MONTH IN JUNE 1991 The Spectrum was still full of life in the summer of 1991, with games aplenty in the mag, and the Sam Coupé seeming to offer a glimpse of the future. The covertape wars were raging and Crash offered readers two tapes, including eight full games, along with a demo and a hatful of Pokes. One included the massive space adventure Astroclone, along with On The Run and several other goodies. The other had classic Codemasters budget titles, with eggy adventure Dizzy joining BMX Simulator and Fruit Machine Simulator, although burglary platformer Phantomas sadly failed to load for us. THE MAIN EVENT: ASTRO CLONE Astroclone is an early Graftgold classic by Steve Turner and Andrew Braybrook, published by Hewson. Following on from the Seiddab trilogy that…

LOOP DE LOOP ■ Green Hill Zone is meticulously built to thrill the player with its speed and spectacle, and no better is that encapsulated than the first time you race around a loop. Hands up if you also didn’t quite make it the first attempt? JUMPING A SUPER RING ■ The massive ring that appears at the end of an act only does so if finishing with 50 or more rings, which on your first few attempts might not actually happen. So the first time you see it, you’ll likely rush right past it without expecting to see anything. CLAIMING A CHAOS EMERALD ■ Even if you do manage to get into one of those giant rings, managing to survive these rotating, disorientating bonus stages is a whole new…

Nothing was going to bypass Sega on its mission to defeat Mario, so even the game’s music had to be ramped up to 11. The goal, therefore, was to fit the game with a soundtrack that was so much more than the usual midi beeps and boops. Sonic Team had something specific in mind and so it reached out to the bassist and songwriter of a band called Dreams Come True. Masato Nakamura had been inspired by the team’s dedication to take on Nintendo, and so he set about creating melodic tracks and then transposing them into digitised versions with only four sounds playable at once. But it wasn’t an easy task for Nakamura, who hadn’t any experience making music on computers and hadn’t even seen the stages he was…

How did you get interested in journalism? When I was at school, they introduced activities for students so they didn’t have to do sport twice a week. And one of them was magazine production, which I did when I was 13 or 14. Did this get you writing? Yes – I wrote a fanzine about Spectrum games. There was a games shop on Henleaze Road in Bristol, and the owner just let my mate and me come in and play the games without buying them. I’d typeset it all on my Spectrum, and had this publishing program that let you print it out. Then I’d queue up at the staff room and get this poor teacher to do all my photocopying. My dad would also go into work early and…

AMIGA ■ Goal! on the Amiga is considered the best of the home-computer versions. It boasts great visuals, great sound and quick gameplay. What more could you possibly want? ATARI ST ■ Dino’s ST conversion was identical to the Amiga except all the pitch types looked the same, with no additional graphical details to portray pools of water, mud, or nicely manicured grass. PC ■ The IBM PC conversion was given to Chris Sawyer. Aside from slightly less well formed and smaller players and pitch, the only other concession was having the scanner displayed to the side. MEGA DRIVE ■ Dino’s Mega Drive conversion was arguably the smoothest version to play. League and high-score tables could be saved to the cartridge’s battery-backed CMOS, which was very handy. SNES ■ The…

After trailing Sensible Software in March 1986 via an Easter egg in their surreal 3D shooter Twister, Jon Hare and Chris Yates officially launched the studio in mid-1986. Following Twister’s success, Sensible delivered two more shoot-’em-ups: the budget Galaxian tribute Galax-I-Birds and the top-down blaster/arcade adventure Parallax. 1987 saw it release the highly original Wizball, which tasked players with weaponising a ball-like hero while colouring-in his grey world. Sensible also released the chart-topping SEUCK: Shoot-’Em-Up Construction Kit in 1987 as well. The studio’s offerings for 1988 were the popular football sim Microprose Soccer and the fun budget shooter Oh No!. Then in 1990 it released the crazy Dropzone homage Insects In Space and the polygon-powered International 3D Tennis. The year after, Sensible released the real-time strategy title Mega lo Mania.…

■ Earthion was absolutely conceived and developed as a Mega Drive-native title, which would mean a cartridge release. The team, however, decided to use a PC and console release to gather player feedback, and refine through updates. Eventually, the ‘final’ version of Earthion would be released to cart. As such, Bitwave Games stepped on board to build an emulation wrapper so the Mega Drive code would run on the modern target platforms. And with boxed gaming specialists Limited Run Games on board, the momentum was there to make the cartridge dream a reality. “Earthion was developed on actual Mega Drive hardware, so this is technically the most authentic way to play the game,” says Limited Run Games’ business development manager for Japan and Asia, Alexander Aniel of the cartridge release.…

» XBOX 360 » 2010 » ROCKSTAR SAN DIEGO If I could have been born in any period, I’d love to have been born in the days of the American Wild West. Yes, I’m fully aware that the films and TV shows I used to love as a kid were heavily romanticised and that there’s a good chance I’d have probably never lived to my 30s, but the wildness and freedom of that era has always appealed to me. From Gunfright on the humble Amstrad CPC to Blood Brothers and Sunset Riders in the arcade, I’ve always enjoyed cowboy games, and while I greatly rate the entertaining Call Of Juarez games (especially Gunslinger) Red Dead Redemption is in a completely different league. Aside from its huge world map, everything about Red…

» System: PC » Buy it for: £4.29+ (single game), £14.59+ (four games) » Buy it from: Online Shooting fans get four great blasters here, including the Mega Drive gems Gaiares and Granada X, and the PC Engine releases Avenger and Psychic Storm. While there’s no denying that the four included games are very enjoyable, this new compilation from Edia Co is incredibly barebones, being a simple free launcher that you run the games from. The emulation is great, but everything else feels rather minimal, from the scanned manuals, iOS-style presentation and the fact there are very few tweakable options. Analogue controls are currently pointless as you can’t move in eight directions, while there are no CRT options of any kind. The games are great, but the presentation is extremely…

What’s your favourite Nick Thorpe article? Santa Hurricane The Sonic 3 cover feature in issue 249 was an incredible and informative article, somehow teaching me more on my favourite game than I thought possible. It was a pleasure to have him on my stream to discuss it as I played Sonic 3 on original hardware for the 30th anniversary of the game. Daryl Baxter Not only was Nick fantastic in helping me make my features shine for the mag, but he even managed to help source the Sonic 1 Beta – long considered the Holy Grail. It partly inspired me to start work on Book 3. I’ll always be grateful to him. MYST+ The one Nick wrote for the PlayStation cover the mag did. That’s the one that made me…

HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT WORKING ON THE REMAKE OF SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS? I was excited. There was some pressure, and that part of the conversation that honestly can’t be answered until you’re done, which is, “How much is this going to mean to the fans?” I will say that the answer to that question is: I’ve been working on games for over 20 games, including a bunch of games that are important to people, and Shadow is the one I hear about the most, by far. WHAT WAS THE PROCESS FOR WORKING WITH THE ORIGINAL CODE? We had a mantra at Bluepoint that we wanted to make the game you remember, which is different than the game ‘as it is’. The game ‘as it is’ creates a feeling…

Peter Harrap’s surreal, smooth scrolling platformer Monty On The Run was an undoubted masterpiece. It’s a tough yet hugely enjoyable jaunt in which players were tasked with guiding a somersaulting, jail-breaking mole to freedom on a cross-channel ferry. The game proved popular on the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 16 but it was the Commodore 64 version which really caught the imagination of gamers thanks to Rob Hubbard’s superb musical score. Composed in 1985 when Rob, a professional studio musician, was 30 years old, the game’s fast-paced main theme pushed the limits of the C64’s SID sound chip. It was based on Devil’s Galop, a rollicking tune composed by Charles Williams which gained wide admiration when it was used to introduce the radio serial Dick Barton – Special Agent. “Gremlin…

COPS AND CRIMINALS ■ New York’s finest are understandably upset to have a ninja on their streets, although arming themselves with shuriken seems like overkill! The big apple’s bad guys are equally well armed, so expect them to put up a fight. ALLIGATOR ATTACK ■ The final opponent in Last Ninja 2’s sewers is a fully grown alligator, presumably banished there when it got too big to be cute anymore. You need a Molotov cocktail to defeat it, and you have to assemble that from parts. CHOPLIFTER ■ Originally intended to be set on the Statue Of Liberty, Last Ninja 2’s helicopter setpiece instead takes place on a New York rooftop. The chopper doesn’t land; you leap off its rope ladder when you reach your destination! SHOGUN SHOWDOWN ■ After you…

EGG WRECKER ■ Robotnik’s first maniacal machine is simply a large swinging orb with which to squish Sonic. Super easy, barely an inconvenience. HOW TO BEAT THEM: Simple really, hop from one platform to the other making sure to not get smashed. You can even fit a couple of hits in at once and it doesn’t take too long before Robotnik turns tails. EGG SCORCHER ■ Making the most of Marble Zone’s fiery pits of lava, here Robotnik sets platforms alight that would surely burn Sonic’s sweet kicks. HOW TO BEAT THEM: In many ways similar to the first battle, though timing is more critical here. Give the Eggman a thwack, then leap across the lava as the fire begins to disappear. EGG STICKER ■ With a large protruding spike…

Given the popularity of the Mega Drive Sonic games, it’s no surprise that Sega has made them available everywhere it possibly can. For accessibility sake, the best option would be Sonic Origins on PC and consoles, a bundled package of the three original Mega Drive classics, Sonic CD and 12 Game Gear Sonic games. It’s a remastering and does come with a host of extras like missions, unlockable modes or the chance to play as Tails, Knuckles and even Amy in any of the original games, but if you can, skip the modern nonsense and play them in Classic Mode with smooth 60fps gameplay. For purists wanting the authentic 1991 experience, Nintendo Switch Online’s Mega Drive app offers the original ROM with save states and a rewind function. It might…

■ Third-party official branding was added to Goal! for the home-computer versions. Virgin’s Sean Brennan and his marketing team contacted Adidas and struck a deal with the leisure and sportswear company to include the Adidas logo and name prominently on the game packaging and manuals. Some in-game screens and the advertising boards around the pitch during matches also featured the Adidas name and famous three stripes logo. The deal also included featuring the Adidas Etrusco Unico World Cup football design, most recently seen during the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. The arrangement was a co-operative cross-marketing exercise with no financial incentives involved. The terminology displayed was ‘Supported by Adidas’, hinting at the low-key arrangement behind the deal. “As far as I can remember, we only did it for the…

THE GUARDIAN OF DARKNESS ■ Cryo Interactive released many bizarre experiments on the PlayStation, and The Guardian Of Darkness is certainly one of them, being a game that sees you take the role of a ghost-hunting monk working for a secret organisation. It’s not very good, but it does look beautiful on occasion. Plus, you get to play as an Adore-era Billy Corgan lookalike, so that’s fun. POWER DIGGERZ ■ One of Taito’s best PlayStation games is all about the joy of using a heavy vehicle to move dirt from one location to another. Not only is Power Diggerz a true-to-life simulation of the dirt-shovelling experience, but it’s also packed with silly minigames that let you demolish cars, make curry and save turtles using the power of diggers. A true…

STAGE 1 BOSS DESCRIPTION: This is a fairly easily beaten floating robotic structure surrounded by similar spacecraft – support vehicles that do you no damage. HOW TO BEAT THEM: When the bottom section floats away, the boss’ weak spot is revealed low in the structure. Target that, and concentrate on dodging the boss’ green orb attacks. STAGE 2 BOSS DESCRIPTION: A flying vessel that hovers just above sea level, evoking a feel for the enemy design across the Gradius series of games. HOW TO BEAT THEM: After the boss opens up, focus on constantly destroying the upper floating nacelle. Each time that is destroyed, shoot for the main boss’ core to destroy it. STAGE 3 BOSS DESCRIPTION: A large, heavily armoured floating vehicle that splits in two while unleashing volleys…

It has certainly taken a while to arrive, but we’ve finally had an extensive play with Analogue’s latest system and it’s bound to please N64 fans. If you’re unaware, the Analogue3D is an FPGA system designed to recreate the experience of playing on an actual N64. It supports games from all three regions, comes with numerous display options, as well as an upgraded version of Analogue’s OS. The machine itself is compact and stylishly sleek, fitting in with previous Analogue designs. Initially, the machine came in two colours, white and black, although Analogue has now added eight new variants, which does feel a little off, considering the original machines have only just started arriving with customers. It supports 4K output via HDMI (but will default to 1080p if your TV…

» System: Switch 2 (tested), Switch » Buy it for: £49.99 (Switch), £58.99 (Switch 2) » Buy it from: Online, retail Nintendo’s flagship Christmas release is a crushing disappointment that fails to reach the highs of the series’ first three games. While it looks spectacular and controls extremely well, it’s a surprisingly pedestrian outing for the fearless Samus Aran thanks to a bland, open world, forgettable NPCs, simple boss fights and generally poor level design that feels a world away from the tightness of the earlier games. The new psychic abilities bring little to the table, Samus’ new bike just isn’t that fun to use and the first several hours are a real slog to get through. It does improve significantly once you reach the cold realm of Ice Belt,…

<BODY> The NerdyTeachers explain their name and the website’s origins. “It was a blog site that I made with my wife, also a teacher, where we shared our broad nerdy interests related to classroom technologies, crafts, games, and more. NerdyTeachers has become my alias everywhere” After trying other game engines, they found PICO-8. “PICO-8 checked off every requirement: low barrier to entry, 2D only, all-in-one software, cute and vibrant, simple interface, fast and easy to create art and music, and provides immediate feedback. I just fell in love, and so did my students. I started making videos about using PICO-8 and nervously shared them. The community was so welcoming that they ignited my passion to build tutorials and make them available online for students far beyond my classroom.” The videos…

CHEW CHEW MIMIC <INFO FORMAT: DREAMCAST (REVIEWED), STEAM, NES CREDITS: RIGG’D GAMES (ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT), LOWTEK GAMES (CONVERSION), ORCFACE GAMES (PUBLISHER) PRICE: PHYSICAL CD £7.50 PLUS POSTAGE, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD £9 (INCLUDES SOUNDTRACK & MANUAL PDF) WEB: ORCFACE.COM/CHEW-CHEW-MIMIC /> <BODY> Four hapless knights go in search of treasure chests but only find the nasty knight-devouring Mimics. Yellow Knight turns left at walls and falls down holes, while Red Knight won’t fall in holes but turns right at them and walls. Blue Knight jumps over holes and turns back at walls, while Green Knight can push boxes, falls through cracked floors (which become holes when walked on once) and turns left at walls. The player can deploy black arrows to force a Knight in that direction, while yellow arrows only work once. Springs…

THE GAME By the time Mega Man made his debut on Sega’s 16-bit console in 1994 he was already something of a seasoned platforming veteran. He’d made his first appearance on the NES in 1987 and once The Wily Wars had rolled around, his sixth NES adventure had already been released. Rather than make a brand-new game for Sega’s console, Capcom instead outsourced the project to the Koka-based Minakuchi Engineering, while it focussed on the SNES Mega Man X games. Interestingly, The Wily Wars is actually four games in one as it features graphically enhanced versions of the three original NES games, as well as an additional adventure called Wily Tower inspired by Journey To The West, which is only accessible once the first three games have been completed via…

LOONEY TUNES: ROAD RUNNER » You know, in North America this game is called Road Runner’s Death Valley Rally. That’s far cooler than the PAL title, don’t you think? Sure, you might imagine a racing game instead of the standard licensed platformer this is, but a little confusion is a price worth paying to avoid such a generic title.…
