Things I’ve been playing recently

Fantasy Life (3DS) It’s like 8 RPGs in one! I chose my first life to be a Paladin, applying the logic that any combat required in the other lives may benefit from my skills as a trained killer. Or something. I’m not very far in, only a couple of hours, but I’m already engrossed in the seemingly endless number of sidequests (which, unlike most RPGs, actually affect your progression in the game in a big way), and the game is …

Mega Man 5 (Wii U): COMPLETED!

Yes, this did take a while longer than previous Mega Mans (Men?). Not in terms of actual play time, as this came in at a little over 4 hours, so slightly shorter than Mega Man 4 (bucking the trend of Mega Man games getting longer in sequence!), but in terms of number of weeks over which I played it. My excuse is HYRULE WARRIORS, which has eaten most of any game time I have. I’ll turn the Wii U on, …

Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails (Wii U)

A very nice person out there sent me a copy of this for my birthday, which luckily I received just a couple of hours before I was going to buy it anyway. Phew, eh? A few years ago, probably when I got my free subscription to PS+ for that Sony hacking thing that happened just as I got my PS3, I played a game called “The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character”. You were an octopus that stuck to platforms …

Gameking – Unleash the Games!

<< Previous (The Gameking) Gameking Games Readers without short-term memory problems will recall that I bought 13 games to go with my Gameking. Each and every one is special in its own special way. Special as in “special needs”, naturally. Firstly, a few points about Gameking games. The cartridges are strikingly familiar to anyone who has ever played on a Game Boy, since they’re exactly the same as Game Boy cartridges. Almost, anyway – instead of “Game Boy” they say …

Run Baby Run Guide

After a discussion in comp.sys.sinclair, it was discovered that many people were pants at this fantastic game. Almost everyone was, in fact. Except me, being the Baby-Master (er, or something) that I am. Apparently. Anyway, I decided to relieve the frustrations of those less fortunate than me, by imparting this players guide to them. Be thankful, mortal fools… Level 1 – Bolton Gas Works Not too difficult. Follow the white line around the two blocks in the top left, and …

The Spectrum

Long, long ago, in a laboratory far, far away, the Lord God Clive created a Machine. A Machine to rule the world. A Machine with crappy rubber keys that felt not unlike dead flesh to touch. The Sinclair Spectrum. The year was 1982. The world was changed forever. Actually, that isn’t far from the truth. If it was not for Clive Sinclair’s genius then the home computer market today could well be very different. The Spectrum was an affordable, versatile, …
