The Art of Manhunter

Manhunter games were always special. Not only because of their unique approach to adventure gaming, but also because of their detailed, grotesque and often gruesome art. Because early Sierra games didn’t actually store graphics as complete images, it’s quite possible to see how these incredible low resolution pieces were created. Enjoy and try not to […]

Here’s the second part of the 1993 video, featuring an hour of great games from over 20 years ago. Enjoy!

Anatoly remembers #2: DOS games in 1993

With 2013 almost gone, here’s the first part of my video showcasing some DOS games from 20 years ago. Relax and enjoy. And Happy New Year!  

Space Quest Historian – Foreign Quests

On the brand new episode of The Space Quest Historian show Troels, myself and Christian Giegerich discuss Space Quest releases in foreign territories. Well, just Russia and Germany, actually.

Broken Sword installation program

A rather interesting installation program for Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templairs (Revolution Software/Virgin Interactive, 1996) featuring voice, music, cool effects and a Breakout clone while you wait. MobyGames page: http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/circle-of-blood

Quake Redone Quick

This is the original 1999 release of Quake Redone Quick, a complete Quake 1 speedrun on Nightmare difficulty in 14:32 by just one person – Ingmar “Nagasaki” Poerner. Although this speedrun was later improved on and released in a variety of versions, this original release is still my personal favorite. The video includes the whole […]

GAG. Coming soon

Coming soon to a PC near you, a complete playthrough of a 1997 Russian Windows game GAG: The Impotent Mystery (ГЭГ: Отвязное Приключение) with commentary by yours truly & a special guest Igor Artyomov.

“Happy Birthday!” (Nikita, 1995) a Russian edutainment game playthough

“Happy Birthday!” is a cool little edutainment game developed & published by Nikita Ltd. in 1995. It’s actually a rather well known title. It was marketed as a game which supposed to teach your child English, but I personally think it falls short in that aspect. But it’s still a fun little game with colorful […]

“Black Zone” introduction

The introduction sequence and a tiny bit of gameplay from a Russian MS-DOS game “Black Zone” (DOKA Company, 1995, CD-ROM release). Made by Aleksey Silaev, it appears to a be a spiritual successor to his little known gem “Mick”. This game is very rare and almost completely unknown even in Russia.

Anatoly remembers #1: DOS games in 1992

With 2012 almost gone, I reminisce about 1992 and its MS-DOS releases. Sit back, relax and enjoy the showcase of 20-year-old pc gaming goodness.  

“Alone in the Dark” review

An old Derceto mansion has zombies, demons, ghosts and a Chthonian. And now it also has you (in the role of a private detective Edward Carnby.) It’s now up to you to get out of the house, dispel the evil, save the world and your own life in the first 3D survival horror adventure inspired […]

“Ivan Lozhkin: Price of Freedom” Russian Space Quest ripoff playthrough

Иван Ложкин: Цена Свободы is a 1998 Russian adventure game that is relatively obscure even in the Motherland. I’ve seen a bunch of ads for it in various magazines throughout ’98, but only seen it in a store once. It was never hiding the fact that it was… erm… “inspired” by the Space Quest series […]

“RoboCop 3” review

A police cyborg Alex Murphy once said: “They’ll fix you. They fix everything.” Well, nothing can fix a bad sequel like RoboCop 3, but there’s still a small chance that if you try really hard you can force yourself to think of this game instead of the movie when someone says “RoboCop 3”. Car chases, […]

“Gobliiins” review

This game is French. That doesn’t mean that it’s full of pretentiousness, baguettes and “le fromage”; instead it’s full of charm, puzzles and peculiar visuals. Three brave goblins are on a mission to save the King by solving brain twisting puzzles, and to help you get your daily dose of laughter along the way. Exploiting […]

“Duke Nukem 3D” review

Guts, guns, mutants, pixelated boobs and plenty of toilet humor in the third installment of Duke Nukem series. An instant classic of its day and a retro gaming legend that still lives on. But is it only tits and bathrooms that made Duke3D an enjoyable game? I beg to disagree. Duke Nukem 3D is in […]
