Live Action Hamster Game

After seeing this link appear on the Digg web site, I thought it was worthy of a heads-up here.

What is it? A live action version of Monty on the Run, but with a real hamster as the main character!

Sounds odd? Well, take a look!

Qwak to Appear on GBA

Long-time Amiga owners out there will no doubt be familiar with Team 17's budget platformer, Qwak - a title largely ignored back in the day, but loved by nearly all who played it.

Over a decade after its original release Qwak is due to make a return - this time on GBA cartridge.

For a mere £12 (or slightly less if you just want the ROM image), you can be the proud owner of a (limited to 300!) Qwak GBA cartridge.

At present the author is still trying to ascertain if there's enough interest, but with the link appearing in issue 51 of GamesTM you may want to get your name down as soon as possible.

Beautiful Space Ace Restoration With Photos

Yesterday, Darth Nuno made a quick post over on the Retro Gamer forums announcing a forthcoming Dragons Lair / Space Ace fan meet, due to take place on the 15th, 16th and 17th of December.

Having had my interested sparked, I followed the link over to the Dragons Lair Fans web site to take a look. However, once I got there, I found myself sidetracked by one of the most detailed and in-depth step-by-step restorations I'd ever seen.

If you want to see a Space Ace go from an almost empty water damaged cab to a fully functioning unit again you'll need to set back a good 15 - 20 minutes of your time, but it's well worth it.

Apologies For The Lack of Updates

Please accept my apologies for the lack of updates to the blog. Unfortunately, a combination of work, and much needed DIY around the house meant that my 'sitting on my arse and browsing the web' time was drastically reduced.

Thankfully, the DIY is coming to an end, and work slowly seems to be calming down in the run up to Christmas.

I think there's probably only 1 or 2 people who ever read these pages anyway, so I can't imagine anyone is too bothered that this place hasn't seen an update in months!
