Excellent article – go read it!

There’s a fantastic interview over on insertcredit, with the head man of Mitchell, a company that created games like PuzzLoop (ripped off by Popcap games and renamed Zuma) and Pang/Buster Bros. It’s a very good read.

Playing Games: Dreamcast

As part of a new series, I’m going to play a massive series of short games and write about it. Fun or a ridiculous exercise in self-fappery, I leave up to the reader to decide. (

A few quick updates!

A few updates for you on this fine summer day (I’m in Australia, remember?): 1. A short story about Nintendo, Atari’s Jaguar, and Tetrisphere. 2. Some ebay auctions of mine. I’m unloading a ton of stuff – PC Engine and Saturn softs, and coming up: a Samsung Saturn, a brand new 64DD, etc. Support NFG […]

GameSX Update + Stuff

Two new items of note: 1. I’ve been updating GameSX.com a lot recently. There’s no splashpage anymore either. After nine years I finally had a complaint, so I removed it. 2. There’s a short article on Backup Technique + GameLab Magazines you might be interested in. “If you were any kind of hacker in Japan […]

I picked up PacPix and Meteos for Nintendo’s DS yesterday, and there’ll be a review of both very soon. Initial impressions: PacPix is really well done, challenging and varied, but so […]

Tecmo sues game hackers

According to several sites, The US arm of Tecmo has sued a group of game hackers for, essentially, making nude codes. Tecmo has sued people for playing with games they legally own in a way Tecmo doesn’t approve of. This is ludicrous. The Register has more. In a surprisingly coincidental move, Taiwan’s Foam Max Enterprises […]

WoW made me sad.

When World of Warcraft came out I was hyped. I plopped for the deluxe set with the deluxe case and the collector’s hardcover book and cloth map and soundtrack and I was hyped when it finally arrived. I was ready for it and I was completely enraptured with it. At first it was everything I […]

Something else to read

While I’m busy unpacking my 50 boxes of games I lugged from Japan to Australia and can’t be bothered to put up the endless pages of fun stuff I’ve got percolating I invite you to read YouAllBoreMe, a whiny livejournal a friend of mine has inflicted upon the world. This month he’s reviewing one MegaDrive […]
