Retro DOS Review: Hero's Quest 1

So you want to be a hero?

Retro DOS Review: Transport Tycoon Deluxe!

Ah, Transport Tycoon Deluxe.  This is one of those games that I come back to every year or so and sink a couple dozen hours into, because it's just that good.

Retro DOS Review: D/GENERATION!

 D/GENERATION - Isometric action puzzle game that provides plenty of challenge.

Retro DOS Review: Centurion, Defender of Rome

Centurion: a turn based strategy that's still very playable, without the intimidating stats and options of the more hardcore strategies.

Retro DOS Review: Defender of the Crown

Although it lacks the depth of a really great turned-based strategy,  Defender of the Crown is very easy to learn and pretty fun.  

Retro DOS Reviews: Platformer Extravaganza, Part 1: The Heavyweights

Platformer games, you make the rocket world go round.

Retro DOS Review: SimCity 2000

In celebration of the impending release of the new SimCity (I got a chance to play it at a game convention. It was awesome.), we take a look back at one of the best in the series, Sim City 2000.

Retro DOS Review: Great Games to Kill Time

Mobile games have become a huge part of the game market nowadays. While there are some that I feel are great games, many I've found are hopelessly shallow, masked by kitschy cartoon graphics and never-ending goals. Here's a couple titles that I sunk hundreds of hours into as a kid that I feel are still better time wasters than some of the social site and mobile games out there now.

Retro DOS Review: Beneath A Steel Sky

I read a great quote somewhere recently (I wish I could remember where so I could give credit) making a very simple comparison to adventure games of today and older ones. It said:

Nice sweater!

"An adventure game is not an adventure with puzzles in it. It's an adventure with adventure puzzles in it."

Retro DOS Review: Where in _______ is Carmen Sandiego?

Let's be honest.  If you didn't play either Carmen Sandiego or Oregon Trail growing up, you may not be a real human.

Bonus! Scorched Earth 3D

For anyone that may have tried out Scorched Earth, or are fans of the original, check out this more modern 3D version of it.

3-Day Triple Feature: Scorched Earth: Mother of All Games!

I tear myself away from a Diablo 3 stupor to bring you a triple feature now through Tuesday!

Retro DOS Review: Street Rod 2!

Mini-review! Street Rod 2 is more of a casual game with some replay value so no need to wait till next week.

Retro DOS Review: Conquests of the Longbow, The Legend of Robin Hood!

Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood (from now on known as CLLRH) was a title I missed out on when I was little, but after playing it through, I feel it was probably better that way.

Retro DOS Review: The Legend of Kyrandia!

The Legend of Kyrandia is the first of 3 graphic adventure games, succeeded by "Hand of Fate", and "Malcolm's Revenge".

Retro DOS Review: Police Quest 1: In Pursuit of the Death Angel

This week I bring you another adventure classic, Police Quest 1! Sonny Bonds stars as your average beat cop turned narcotics detective, eventually cracking a big time drug dealer single-handedly.

Retro DOS Review: Space Quest, The Sarien Encounter!

Several hours, a couple Coke Zeroes, and roughly 75 deaths later I have finished Space Quest 1! Replaying it 25 years later, I still find it's sarcastic humor just as funny as I did when I was 5. Space Quest 1 is the beginning of the saga of Roger Wilco, space janitor, and eventually multi-time savior of the galaxies. All of the Space Quest games heavily parody Star Wars, Star Trek, and all kinds of other pop culture references.
