Re: Retro Video game magazines
I used to get pretty much every games magazine available every month through my teenage years - Computer & Video Games, Crash, Zzap!, Your Sinclair, Sinclair User, ST Format, Amiga Format, The One, The Games Machine, ZERO, Mean Machines, ACE, EDGE, ST Action... and many more! Some mags sprang up...

Re: Legend of Grimrock
I've been stuck at the 'Checkered Room' for a couple of nights now, and I'm way too stubborn to look at hints (I completed DM as a kid without the help of a guide, and I'll do the same for this dammit). The upshot is that while idly and somewhat desperately retreading the upper levels I've uncovered...

Re: Legend of Grimrock
I just got to the start of level 5 last night, looking forward to another session when I'm settled tonight. Dungeon Master experience is definitely proving useful as far as the puzzles are concerned so far - it's often a case of seeing the 'type' of layout before me and immediately understanding wha...

Re: Legend of Grimrock
Played for a couple of hours and I'm super impressed. It's Dungeon Master 2012 (even down to some knowing puzzle references). Mechanics are spot-on and the atmosphere is incredible. If the level design stays true to its promise we're onto something special here. Took me a while to get used to right-...

Re: Undercroft iPhone game
I'm a couple of hours into this and can only echo that it's excellent, and more than anything makes me pine for a DM port for the iPad. It's a lovely engine. DM would work so well on these devices.

Re: Your personal "Games of the decade(s)"?
80s - Dungeon Master . Big surprise! 90s - Super Mario World . The 90s were a pretty great decade for favourites, but forced to choose one I'll go for the best platform game ever made. 00s - Phantasy Star Online . The most perfect, concise and infinitely repeatable online game I've ever played. Even...

I'm a big lover and collector of videogame music old and new, but I especially have a soft spot for the C64 and Amiga, which are what kicked off the interest in the audio of a game being just as important as anything else. Anyways, lots of the best Amiga stuff has been covered here, but my favourite...

I've been collecting and working my way (slowly) through a whole bunch of classic RPGs, and naturally the Ultimas are on the list. My only experience of them - aside from a bit of dabbling in DOSbox to see if they work - is with Ultima IV and VII. I never had a gaming PC when these things were first...

Hmm... mine would be an overlap between the late 80s and early 90s - essentially the '16 bit' era. I did have a lot of fun with the 8-bit systems, the Spectrum, C64, and the consoles, but once I found myself with an ST and Amiga, then Megadrive and SNES I was absolutely in heaven. I'm a bit of a gru...

He's talking about using the VLC media player on PC to view the movie cutscenes from Saturn games, and specifically DM Nexus. There is some issue over which version of VLC is best to play certain media types from Saturn games though.

I can't get past the feeling that alongside the age factor Adamo mentioned, there's also a strong conformist mentality at work in these lists. A lot of games getting nominated because of their importance in the industry, or worst of all because people expect them to be there, and want to be seen as ...

Well it looks like I spoke too soon. The list has been posted on the Edge forum. Whether it's the true list isn't certain yet, but it's incredibly heavy on relatively recent console games. It seems that most gamers have a very short memory. 100. Crackdown 99. Psychonauts 98. Sensible Soccer 97. Tekk...

The list was compiled from months of polls from readers, industry people, etc. I think it's a fairly decent top 10. I don't agree with all of it personally but I understand the quality of the games. I don't like Resident Evil 4 much, for example, and I've never been a huge fan of Zelda games. Final ...
