This one's been a while in coming. In fact, I started on this review a couple of days before Good Old Games re-released the game and sparked a modest amount of excitement/revulsion across 'the internet'.

When your host is Lance Boyle, the game's got to be MegaRace.

Hello!

Yes, that's right: you wait a whole month for a genuine update, then two come along at once. It's like London buses (or something).

Anyway, following hot on the heels of Stoo's Baldur's Gate review, here comes something completely unrelated - I've taken a look at Rockstar's racing game Midnight Club II.

There's more on the horizon - stay tuned.

Hi all.

You've probably noticed our list of RPGs isn't yet all that long, and of those several are more action-oriented. However today we bring a welcome entry of traditional dice-rolling, elves and swords, full party kind: Baldur's Gate. Which probably takes the prize for most delayed review in FFG history, considering I first started playing early last year. Then got distracted by EVIL EVIL WORLD OF WARCRAFT. Still, it's finally here, huzzah.

Hi all.

As promised, albeit a little late, here's a quick guide to Finding the oldies.

For the past several years you may have noticed an item on the main menu (over on the left) titled "running the oldies", which in fact didn't link to anything. That's because I'm about the worst procrastinator on the planet. Fortunately, we've now gotten together to write a basic guide on how to run the games of yesteryear on a modern windows PC.

It's neither an exhaustive list nor a highly technical item - if you're already a seasoned retro-gamer and wise in the ways of DOSBox then you probably don't need our help. If however you've only recently (re)gained an interest in playing the games of yesteryear, and are new to the problems of running them on modern systems, you should find it a helpful outline of the options available.

The other question is where you find the oldies in the first place - we'll add an guide to that in the next few days.
