What do you do if you only have a 386 PC on your desk and need to sate this craving for world domination? Why, play Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator, of course. And this is exactly what I did back in 1994, when I had been stuck for hours on end manning the editorial offices […]
I’ve been asking this question since the early 2000s, and I don’t know for the life of me why I didn’t bother looking the answer up with Google, or any other search engine for that matter. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to ruin the mystery. It turns out, however, that the disappearance of Strategic […]
Watch this video and count yourself lucky:
It’s from the game Litil Divil, and that small red critter, named Mutt, is your character.
Fortunately for you and Mutt, Litil Divil has its share of cheat codes. I won’t give you all of them (you cheat!), just a few to get you going. Before you start tapping keys, […]
How fun is it playing a devil? Well, if you’re thinking wanton destruction, fire and brimstone, Litil Divil is definitely not for you. It’s no fun razing an entire city with millions of underworld denizens at your beck and call. It’s more fun traipsing around Hell to get the big boss his dinner.
Dinner? Yeah, dinner. […]
Yeah, my sentiments exactly—that is, if I belong to the generation of basketball fans (especially of the National Basketball Association) that only knows Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Yao Ming. But I belong to the previous generation of basketball fans that idolizes Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan.
Wait a minute […]
A few posts back, I answered fellow b5media video games channel blogger Aiza Bautista’s meme on what games I currently play. My answer included “a plethora of old video games, including Super Mario Brothers, Adventure Island, Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, and Contra. Well, I’ve talked about the first two and the […]
How many of you have watched the Harry Potter movies? Okay. How many of you remember watching Harry and Ron Weasley play a round of Wizard Chess, with Hermione Granger commenting how barbaric the game is? No, this post is not about an old Harry Potter video game since the Boy Who Lived probably wasn’t […]
I just love checking out games I used to play and whether I can still hit those high scores of days gone by. Well, my fingers aren’t as nimble and my reaction time isn’t as good as when I was, hmmm, 10 years old.
And that’s exactly my age when Alley Cat, a DOS-based game developed […]
No other role-playing game has filled my sleeping and waking hours more than The Bard’s Tale, from Tales of the Unknown to Destiny Knight to Thief of Faith. Well, this isn’t entirely true, especially if you consider all the RPGs that have come out for the PC and the myriad consoles. But The Bard’s Tale […]
Or maybe I’m the one who’s clumsy. I’ve recently downloaded an old Spider-Man game, expecting to play a sorta choose your own adventure type of game—you know, the one that we all used to spend countless of idle time on the Apple II or Commodore? You never had an Apple II? Not even a Commdore? […]
