The Classic Arcade and Console Era (1972-1989) - Road Blaster (a.k.a. Road Avenger or Road Prosecutor) Don't miss this laserdisc racing game with lavish animation, a killer theme song and a fantastic Mad Max-style theme, from the creator of Double Dragon!

It's time to talk Road Blaster, an awesome laserdisc driving game that has some fun connections to the world of Double Dragon. (You can see the Road Blaster in the garage in the opening scene to that game, in fact!)

The lavish Toei animation and awesome action make this game an amazing experience!

35 years ago, the highly influential Mean Machines launched. It was Britain's first dedicated monthly consoles magazine and became renown for its brutally honest reviews, top-class tips, and outrageous, close-to-the-knuckle humor. But then, if you read it, you'd know all this!

There is now a full speed Gameboy emulator for PlayDate!

It’s very polished, with sound support, and lots of options. It even supports using it as a wrapper for devs to release homebrew GB games on PlateDate.

W.C.A.T. (Wing Commander AllTinker Overhaul Mod) by AllTinker An extensive overhaul mod for Wing Commander for DOS!

Well, it's been a long wait, but the first (beta) release is out: alltinker.itch.io/wcat
In between real life stuff, the delay has been partly because I've added several more features, including revising a huge subset of the input system. You can even now use 4-axis/4-button controllers "natively".

After 19 years, one of my favorite D&D RPGs is finally breaking free of its awful performance and UI⁠ with a remasterβ€”and it's a must-play for fans of Baldur's Gate I've been waiting for Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition for a long, long time.

Some news dropped early in the PC Gaming Show: The remaster of classic D&D RPG Neverwinter Nights 2 is finally real, and releasing next month.

Did you know the working title for Ridge Racer was 'Texture Drive'. Google returns 0 results, so I'll guess probably not. Wonder if it'll be discussed on the livestream today?

Thanks to Shingi on the other site for sharing the planning document pics. Tekken starting off as Kamui😴old news
