The Legacy: Realm of Terror (PC, 1993) – Review – Alone in the House That Hates You

Is The Legacy: Realm of Terror the creaky floorboard that time forgot or the missing vertebra in survival-horror’s spine? (Rhetorical, sure, but I’m contractually obligated to answer, so stand by.) Dropped onto DOS shelves in March 1993 by MicroProse, yes, the flight-sim and hex-map people, this first-person RPG straps you into a Beacon Hill mansion where Lovecraftian ichor seeps beneath […]

Wolfchild (SNES) – Review – The Lycra-Clad Loup-Garou Who Tried to Save the Super Nintendo from Itself

Is Wolfchild a delirious oddity or a respectable 16-bit workhorse? (Plot twist: it’s both, simultaneously flexing its biceps and breaking the fourth wall like a furry Deadpool.) Is it criminally underrated or quietly overrated?, Yes, depending on whether you discovered it in a dusty pawn-shop bin (underrated gold!) or paid today’s collector premium that rivals the GDP of

Ambush at Sorinor (PC) – Review – Real-Time Reckoning in 640×350

Is Ambush at Sorinor an unsung milestone of asymmetric warfare or simply the oddest poultry-powered fantasy skirmisher ever to hobble off a 3.5-inch floppy? (Both, obviously, why else would I still be quoting its manual in 2025?) Released in 1993 by Mindcraft, the game lets six squabbling clans, ninety-plus unit types and an unsettling number of “war chickens”

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? (Rhetorical question, obviously it’s both, and yes, I’m about to over-answer.) Slip the cartridge into

Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist (PC) – Review – When the Wild West Met the Drugstore Aisle

Is Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist the secret handshake of vintage adventure nerds… or just a dusty punchline best left on the bargain-bin shelf between Full Throttle (in its 12-diskette beta incarnation) and that Windows 3.1 golf sim your uncle swore was “just like Pebble Beach”? Short answer: yes. Longer, louder answer: Freddy is both a gloriously bizarro fever dream and a
