Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom (SNES) – Review – One Save Slot, Infinite Regrets

Is Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom the charmingly eccentric uncle who shows up at your retro-gaming reunion quoting obsolete BASIC commands, or the cranky grand-dad who insists the party can’t start until someone produces graph paper and a fresh mechanical pencil?

Is Allan Border’s Cricket a proud, straight-bat classic or the weird uncle who gate-crashes every retro-sports reunion? Does it deserve a place in the Hall of Fame next to Sensible Soccer and NBA Jam, or should it be sent back to the pavilion before it’s even padded up?

Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet (PC) – Review – Lovecraft in 256 Colors

Is Infogrames’ 1993 cosmic creeper Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet an unsung classic or a creaky footnote, a crowning jewel of VGA horror or a half-remembered fever dream you accidentally installed from a cover‑disk while looking for shareware pinball? (Answer: all of the above, plus a side order of tentacles.) In an industry year dominated
