Welcome to the latest episode of Gaming Memories. I would like to take you on another journey, to a time that included the more pivotal moments in gaming, that I had opportunity to experience first hand.

Are you an Aliens fan still feeling stung by Colonial Marines? The only comfort I can offer is that not every game with an Aliens tag has been awful – and here’s one of the better ones!

How many of us, when we’re looking back over our gaming memories, automatically recall the good things? Most of us, I’m guessing. It’s part of human nature after all; nobody wants to dwell on the bad times given a choice. Sometimes however, it’s useful to look back on the negatives too. Often, w... Read More »
I seem to be in a fix! The world seems to have lost some of it’s magical feeling. I feel a little like Austin Powers in The Spy Who Shagged Me! You see I’ve found myself in a little slump of late – gaming in general seems to have lost it’s initial bite. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still ... Read More »
The re-release of old games from yesteryear that have been touched up more than the original Star Wars trilogy is something that is becoming increasingly regular these days. Analogy aside, they both share a common denominator in the fact that many, many people in the world feel it shouldn’t happen and is largely ... Read More »
Sam paid homage to Squaresoft yesterday, and during that time you told us some of your reasons behind liking the Final Fantasy series.

Achievements – the little carrot on the end of a big stick, given to us by Microsoft. Adding yet another social aspect to gaming, the idea has since been emulated on other platforms, grabbing us one by one! Are they worthwhile? Are they a necessary part of this and future gaming generations, or are they just a wa... Read More »

Welcome fellow gamers, to the final chapter. My final swan song, if you will. The last part of my journey… to this my final gaming memories! I have to say when I first thought about writing these pieces, I was nervous. I didn’t know what the reaction would be and I certainly, never dreamt that the response would be so ... Read More »

For a lot of us the 8Bit years started with the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 and ended with the launch of the SEGA Mega Drive in 1990 or as late as 1992 with the arrival of the SNES. Some of us were in School, some of us may well already of had kids. You can read all about Paul’s 8-bit years in full here... Read More »
