Still Game? is an occasional series in which I replay a game from my youth, to see if it really is as good as I remembered. This week: (nearly) all of the Carmageddon games.

Carmageddon is a racing game series where you smash into other cars and run over pedestrians. If that sounds unpleasant you might want to stop reading.

Still Game? is an occasional series in which I replay a game from my youth, to see if it really is as good as I remembered. This week: Rally Cross Simulator on the C64.

Writing about Rally Cross Simulator is difficult because if there's anyone reading this under the age of 20 I first I have to explain what a cassette is. Or you can just skip past that and get to the game itself. That's probably easier.

Still Game? is an occasional series in which I replay a game from my youth, to see if it really is as good as I remembered. This week: James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing on PS2.

Still Game? is an occasional series in which I replay a game from my youth, to see if it really is as good as I remembered. This week: Sam and Max Hit the Road on PC.

Sometimes I replay these games out of a genuine curiousity, but I'm pretty sure that this one is still going to be brilliant. Right? I mean, c'mon. It's Sam and Max.
