Announcing The NFG Book
It’s funny how things work out. A couple of years ago I was doing some freelance writing for the Official Nintendo Magazine (UK), and I’d done a review of Mario vs Donkey Kong. As part of this review, I had put together a quick look at Mario: As a result of this I had the […]

Introduction and Air Diver Review
Well… Lesse… I run the site Megadriver.org and do my best to update it every decade or so. NFG Games has helped inspire me to actually publish some long lost articles and reviews I have written over the years. With that in mind, here is the first of what I hope to become a regular […]

New design (and more!)
You may have noticed this page has changed a little, and more changes still are afoot. NFG Games is expanding. More content and – hopefully – some that doesn’t suck. Still some bugs to work out, some new features to add, and obviously this page isn’t finished yet. It’s an all new back-end as well, […]

Sharp X-1 Twin Disassembly
The Sharp X-1 Twin was a weird combination unit, featuring the X-1 computer (a Z80-based precursor to the X68000) and an integrated PC Engine. I use the term integrated loosely, the two systems shared the same shell, but little else. It’s more like an Amstrad MegaPC than a Sega/IBM TeraDrive. Sharp were no strangers to […]

Exploded N64 Controller
I really wish I had thought of this. Someone’s taken an N64 controller and blown it up, suspending all the components with pieces of wire. It looks fantastic.

Playing Games: Dreamcast (2)
In the second of a silly little series, I’m playing every game in my Dreamcast library, offering impressions from a fresh perspective, as many of these have lain unplayed for a long time. Fun or a ridiculous exercise in self-fappery, I leave up to the reader to decide. Read more? (

New Domain Name
NFG Games is now, finally, after all these years, nfggames.com. 2y.net, which has served me very well for a very long time, has been offline for 24 hours now and I’m finally tired of it. It’s as much a surprise to me as anyone that my server is more reliable than, well, anything, but there […]

Hudson Announces Nectaris DS
“Hudson Announces Nectaris DS”, that’s the headline I long to hear. Nectaris, released in North America as Military Madness, is fantastically popular in Japan, and it has a cult following overseas. Unlike most hex grid strategy games Nectaris focuses on strategy and tactics rather than unit stats and realism. Realism is, in fact, eschewed in […]

Nintendo’s Fils-Aime Speaks
This is really interesting. Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime talks a bit about the competition during a recent phone interview with Engadget. Nintendo is playing it right, as far as I’m concerned. Everything he says rings true to my ears, and it’s a welcome fresh breeze after listening to Sony’s “Oh, it’s expensive!” lies, and Microsoft’s “Networking […]

Blasts from Ye Olde Pasts!
These posts are really old, but it might be worth revisiting. They came to the fore again curing the conversion of the old archives. There’s some pictures (most with boobies) of the lovely new Psikyo Visualworks Poster Book. A Herzog Zwei review. Herzog Zwei was, if you didn’t know, the first ever Real Time Strategy […]
