Fan Quotes

Please do not just concentrate on games, Amiga was so much more thank that. It just so happened it was good at games thanks to the hardware and that it was originally funded by games money. You only have to look at the Video Toaster to see how good it was and still is.

Interview Quotes

I am very pleased with Gun Mute. I think I created a nice set of characters in an accessible package, in some ways purely by chance. To be honest, I don\\\'t expect to be able to create a better game in the future, but I hope the stories I want to tell will still interest a few people.

Akkanvader

Akkanvader is a Space Invaders clone made by Taito and released in 1995. It is kind of the Japanese lollypop version of the game being all colorful, cute and all, but it is also fun. So you can select from a wide range of characters and each has a different...

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

This was the second and final Star Wars game released on the NES, and for some reason, it feels like it takes a step backward. Maybe it is the slightly more linear gameplay, the seemingly increased challenge, or an intangible "feel" that separates it from the original, but this game...
