Enter, stranger...

Hi there!

First, to the new updates. The Good Old Days added some extras for the game Might and Magic.

Next, we have an update from DJ Oldgames, who bring us a number of new titles, including a CD adventure called Ripper, Mega Lo Mania from Sensible Software, and a game called Knightmare, which apparently is based on the TV show of the same name, although it doesn’t look like it is. Those in the UK will know what I’m talking about. ”Welcome, friends, to Knightmare!”. An accurate representation would have had you controlling a small boy with a mullet through a world of four-colour graphics and desperate actors. This, though, looks like Dungeon Master.

Finally, there’s an update from Smush the Cat, who added CD Man.

Which leaves us a little less room to round up some of our other members. We had to hide one site and send a polite e-mail to one other, but I won’t say any more about that here. Instead, let me tell you about Anarchy, the site run by Knyght, who is well known around these parts. His site is fairly small in terms of downloads, but it does include the awesome Dreamweb – the CD version, too. A recent redesign hinted at a return to regular activity, but it’s all gone a bit quiet again, unfortunately.

Let’s also mention The House of Games, another one of our stalwarts. The focus of the site seems to be on late 80s/early 90s stuff, and there’s a good selection of downloads and reviews here. Updates are sporadic, but the site’s well put-together and maintained.

More next time. See you then.
