Retro 101

Remember when games were fun?

Welcome to Retro 101

Welcome to Retro 101.

Retro gaming is facing a resurgence in popularity with all the major consoles having their own way of supplying that nostalgic buzz. Here at Retro 101 we thought it would be good to have a place to find out whether these games are worth your money.

dizzyWe aim to cover everything from Amstrad to Vectrex, Virtual console to Xbox Live Arcade, as well as new takes on old franchises.

Let us take you back to a time when games were still fun and not like a second job.

Thank you.

VC Release 08/10/2010

vc.jpg There hasn’t been much to report for a while, but now the VC is back with Rival Turf (SNES, 800 points). Though far from perfect, It’s worth a look for scrolling fighter fans.

XBLA Release 15/09/2010

xbla.jpg What many feel to be the last decent Sonic game is out today.  Sonic Adventure will set you back 800 points. It’s the Dreamcast Version that is emulated so it should pretty solid.

XBLA Releases 25/08/2010

Two games kick Live Arcade in the face this week. Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game (800 points) and Shank (1200) are those games, and they involve beating people up while the screen scrolls. In 2D.

VC Release 20/08/2010

Do you like punching people in the face? Then a night out in Plymouth is for you. Those who prefer digital pugilism can pick up Fatal Fury 3 for 900 points instead.

XBLA Release 18/08/2010

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (1200 points) shoots some endangered creatures, fits cogs into ancient machinery, swan dives and lands onto Live Arcade this week.

XBLA Release 11/08/2010

Summer of Arcade continues with flower arranging title Monday Night Combat (1200 points). The game pits you against the world’s deadliest florists or something.

VC Release 06/08/2010

Well, it’s Friday, and there’s actually a game for the VC. For 800 points you can grab Aero the Acrobat 2 from today. Or not, it’s entirely up to you. Make your own decisions!
