I regret to inform the membership that Dave Needle has passed away. RJ Mical announced the sad news on Facebook. Dave Needle was one of the hardware designers of the Amiga computer, chief hardware designer of the Atari Lynx, and chief hardware designer of the 3DO Multiplayer. Though I worked near hi...

4DO Crash on Launch
So, I just built a new machine for myself, and thought to myself, "Self, I'll bet this new rig can finally run a 3DO emulator prroperly." So I downloaded the 4DO installer package, installed it, and it crashed immediately upon launch. After doing some rudimentary Googling, I discovered that I could ...

Thanks to a YooToob ContentID claim, we almost didn't get to show this to you. But the error has been corrected, and we can now share with you the slow, coffee-grinding splendor of the Japanese interactive horror classic, D : Let's Play/Drown Out - D (3DO, 1995) - Part 1 , Part 2 Though perhaps a bi...

Yes, we've been quiet for a while (blame me; it's all my fault), but we've got a new installment for you. In our "Apology" episode, we took a brief look at Killing Time , but didn't explore the game much at all (we never left the entry gardens), so we decided to revisit the game and spend a bit more...

I managed to sneak in time for a new video over the weekend:

Pyramid Intruder turns out to be harder than we thought...

Our latest Let's Play video is up:

Sadly, I failed to figure out how to make the jetpack work before we stopped recording. Also, if anyone knows what those footpads are meant to do near the exit of the Jump level, I'd be much obliged :-).
We hope you enjoy it.

I was particularly interested in seeing this one again because the space combat sim was so nice. Unfortunately, you have to fight through a rather dodgy platformer to get to it.

Annoyingly, we have audio sync drift again; the management extends its most abject apologies. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy it.
