KKND: Krush Kill ‘n Destroy
18 juli 2022 · 1 uur 19 min
FMV cutscenes with very quirky humour? Check! Ridiculously over the top scenario? Check! Giant acid-squirting scorpions vs. six-wheeled flame thrower ATVs? Check!

Quake

There isn't much we need to say to introduce you to Quake. It's Quake, after all. Quake may be one of the most important games crossing the bridge between the "old" and "new" gaming worlds.

The Lost Vikings
1 september 2021 · 1 uur 30 min

Who likes turn based strategy games? WE DO! But we think we're not alone in that. Simtex' 1994 4X classic Master of Magic is seen by many as one of the hidden gems of the genre often compared to "Civilization with Magic", but does that hold up? Or is it actually more than that? We're […] Lees meer

How many Skiing games are there for DOS? We don't know for sure, but we believe the number is 13. And we tried them all!

Jill of the Jungle
1 september 2020 · 1 uur 24 min
We spent our July playing Jill of the Jungle, one of the big milestones in PC gaming history for making Epic Megagames actually "mega" and allowing them to build all those future games we all so dearly love.

It is the year 2020 and yet, some of us are still fascinated by an operating system that hasn't been updated in nearly 20 years. In this episode we are trying to answer the question "why"? That DOS is still relevant today is demonstrated by the success of DOS Games Jam - a game jam […] Lees meer
