The Most Shameless False Advertising You'll Ever See Was The Art On '90s Racing Game Boxes
14.1.2021
One of the great things about the internet, among all the horrible ones, is that the abundance of online information makes research simpler. I know this is stupidly obvious when written out, but if you were, for instance, buying a video game in the ’90s, you had to read a magazine to know what...

Nintendo Is Making Copyright Claims on Videos of Game & Watch Hacking
12.1.2021

30.12.2020
One of the fortunate things about racing, compared to other sports, is that it’s relatively easy to simulate in a virtual setting. The experience of playing NBA 2K, for example, doesn’t correspond to any of the physical skills required to actually play basketball in real life. Those of us who love...
