  • Oh Mummy coming to the Mega Drive

    It is truly a good time to be a Mega Drive owner these days. As if last year's RPG-epic Pier Solar wasn't enough we now have another homebrew release winging its way to Sega's 16-bit powerhouse in the form of a brand new Oh Mummy port. Produced by the folks over at 1985Alternivo the cartridge contains a very smooth looking version of the Amstrad CPC original along with a completely revamped release that not only contains new graphics but a variety of different modes and giant flying Sphinxes to boot.

    Oh Mummy Mega Drive.
    The original game saw the player running around a grid, gradually uncovering the pyramid's secrets. Each time the player's path entirely surrounds one of the rectangular blocks it reveals its contents. This can range from more enemies, who will follow the player to the next level, to defensive scrolls that protect the player from harm and items required to unlock the next stage. The new version not only adds redrawn sprites but also a number of variants, such as an invisible level where only the player's and the mummies' eyes are visible, which shows an inventiveness that bodes well for the full release.

    1985Alternivo are taking pre-orders from international buyers in the run up to this October's launch date and they offer extremely reasonable pricing, from the looks of things they're selling pretty much at cost. So if you own a Mega Drive and are interested in checking out what could be some great fast-paced arcade action why not check it out.

    Do note that currently international buyers are asked to e-mail the team directly, contact details can be found in the link above.

      I don't have a megadrive but that looks lush. The guys who did it are heroes, in my book.

      Ahaha ****ing legend, this game came with my Amstrad in 1987 0_o, the music would drive you nuts but it's an awesome game.

      Looking at the vid I hope they keep the original tune.

  • Radiohead KID A MNESIA Exhibition - Report
    by Adrian Purser
    Appearing recently on digital storefronts, this digital exhibition coincides with the 20th anniversary re-release and bringing together of Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac albums. It's been made in collaboration between the band and Epic Games, though it's also very quick to tell you that it is not a game, epic or otherwise. That, I think, is a mixture of nervous expectation-setting, alongside its creators selling both games, and what they've created, short.
    Unless you're one of those sorts...

  • Datel Freeloader Review - Action Replay Gamecube Region Free disc
    by Charles R
    Once upon a time, there was a Freeloader. It was late, as usual, but everyone waited with baited breath, because it promised much.

    And so it came to pass, the Freeloader finally arrived, and oh what gifts it brought. The ability to de-zone everyone's Gamecubes. Finally, an easy (and cheap) way for anyone in the world to play games from anywhere else in the world. It was welcomed with open arms.
    Datel, after many delays, have now released their de-zoning disc. Twice. The f...

  • Goldeneye N64 Retrospective
    by Archives
    Describing the greatness of Goldeneye isn't the easiest task in the world. If you were to show it to a gamer who has recently been showered with PC First Person Shooters such as Far Cry, then they'd scoff at the low-polygon landscapes, the poor digitised textures of Robbie Coltrane and the frame rate equivalent to the IQ of a table leg. They'd be missing the point though, as levels such as "Surface" are the forebears to Far Cry's grand vistas.
    Which leads us nicely into one of the reaso...

    The selectable parts of these options all change, but we've translated what's in the screenshot anyway. Also this is a scroll menu and there's an option that doesn't appear on this screen unless you scroll, which is "Referee Select" (Left side) User Settings - 1 Blue Corner - 1P Red Corner - CP Match Rule -...

  • TGS 2003 - Tokyo Game Show Report
    by Archives
    As a first visit to any kind of games show, it was going to be very interesting to see what all the fuss was about. I remember reading about the Tokyo Game Show among other shows in magazines years back and having a sense of delight and amazement. Did you ever dream of going to a game show in Japan? I'm sure it's something most avid gamers can associate with. On Sunday the 28th of September, my wife and I headed towards Makuhari messe from western Tokyo, a journey of 2 hours. When we finally ...
