    Way overlong

    I liked the previous game in this HOG series, finishing it in just two long spells of gameplay. This one, however, was long and tedious and took forever to end. At nearly 9 hours it's the longest time...

    Complete trash

    Well, this is probably the worst beat-em-up I have ever played, and I've played the C64 version of Double Dragon, so I know bad when I see it. As a big fan of the genre I wanted to gave this game the ...

    It DON'T got the power!

    Known as "Power Instinct" in English territories, this one-on-one fighting game by Atlus was just about acceptable in the arcades. It was never a huge hit like Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat but en...

    Single serving

    I remember first encountering Double Dragon II in an arcade in Orlando when I was 8. Having been hooked on the original game the idea of a video game sequel to me (back then) was like a dream come tru...

    A slight improvement on the arcade.

    Developed by Toaplan and released by Taito in arcades in 1989, this space-shooter was ported to the Sega Mega Drive by Nippon Computer Systems, who didn't think once about dialling down the extreme di...

    Unlikely to win new fans, but most will be pleased

    Known as "Dragon Tiger Fist" in Japan, Art of Fighting (there is no definitive article in the title) at first might seem a bland one-on-one fighting game, but it actually shares a universe with the po...

    Not so definitive

    This game has not aged well.I first discovered Age of Empires in the Xmas 1997 issue of PC Zone. It was on the demo disc (where I also discovered Grand Theft Auto) it wasn't a timed demo, just a restr...

    A quickie HOG

    Typically low-res HOG scene.There's virtually nothing in Left in the Dark you've not seen a zillion times in other hogs. All of the puzzles and hidden object scenes feel recycled and overly familiar, ...

    A simple but fun shooter

    Bit Blaster XL is a unique hybrid of Asteroids, Space Invaders, with a little bit of Galaga and the texture of something more modern like Beat Hazard Ultra, all while still having an identity of its o...

    It's Bit Blaster but a little bit flashier.

    I was more than happy to play through this game again as it's super addictive. "Just one more try", I keep telling myself at 2 in the AM. Like the first iteration, there does come a point where it bec...

    Loads of fun!

    I've had Somewhere Out There installed on my PC for a while now but never really got into it until now, and I have to admit this is a lovely little game. It begins as an ordinary space-shooter before ...

    Hated it

    There's been a zillion incarnations of this game before, from the obvious Breakout or Arkanoid, but for me it first reminds me of a budget C64 game called Batty. I hated that game back then and I hate...
