Just a quick one -- it seems like some people have trouble accessing this video for some reason, not sure why though. I thought I would quickly repost it here to see if that fixes it for folks, perhaps something went screwy with the original link. Anyway, take care!

Yes, you read that right. This video features every single Ocean Software licensed game. You name it, it's here. I don't know if I've done a more ridiculous project than this, but it's finally here after...well, quite a lot of work. There's easily over 100 games here, ranging from some of the best to some of the worst, and they are the games that define the almighty company and made them into s...

A look at AJW's legendary 25th Anniversary Celebration, The Dream Slam: One of the greatest shows of aol-time it was a night that sparked a new boom in Joshi. Enjoy this rundown of the whole card!
2022-04-14 12:22:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks -- just thought I'd give a little update on the next Wrestling video. I'm happy to say that the script for the look back at the Dream Slam is finally done...it's most certainly been a real treat to cover this show, and to go through all five hours of it. All being well, the video itself should be ready to go next week, but until then, please enjoy the thumbnail I've made. Sorry for th...

Here's a little look at The Light's magnificent Rex, a ZX Spectrum game from 1988 that plays like something an awful lot more modern -- it hardly feels like a Speccy game at all, in fact. Here's the story behind this classic! Enjoy.

Moonstone is one of those games that actually fits the bill of being unique -- it's a bit RPG, a bit beat-'em-up, a bit of tabletop...so many things. Plus lots of blood. It wasn't successful either critically or commercially in 1991, but it's become one of the Amiga's best loved games, and this is it's story. Enjoy!

It's time for another video all about football! Back from the days when there were a lot more than just a couple of series kicking about -- this is a journey back to the '90s and every footie game on the Mega Drive...from big names like FIFA to obscure gems and some absolute shockers, there's quite a few to look at. Enjoy :)
The Bobby Yazz Show! A cool arcade-y puzzle game with a unique presentation that was supposed to come out with lots of fanfare, as part of a new and pretty exciting software label. In the end, we're only able to play it because it was released on a Crash covertape at the end of the Spectrum's life. What happened? Let's find out. Enjoy!

Here's a new one! We're chronologically looking at every Capcom Arcade Port to the ZX Spectrum. There's some real classics along with some stinkers, of course -- but there's a little more, with some unreleased numbers and a lot of U.S. Gold...hell, this is basically another little look at the story of U..S Gold. Oh, and Tiertex too. Enjoy!

Hey hey. Here's a little follow-up to the big Core Design documentary: My 20 favourite Core Design games! However, as a bit of a twist, these are my 20 favourite games that DON'T include Tomb Raider. Hopefully this further highlights some of the other fantastic stuff in Core's softography! Enjoy.

Here's a little review of the excellent port of the Sega Master System Sonic the Hedgehog that came out on the Commodore 64 late last year -- while it might not be indicative of what a really good port of this game would have looked like at the time, it's a brilliant bit of homebrew. Enjoy!

A follow-up on the previous video -- how did the Amiga fare with ports of Sega Arcades? Did they take advantage of the extra power that the machine had compared to something like the ZX Spectrum? Well...they were a bit of a mixed bag, as we'll find out. Also features a few other Mega Drive ports, and a look at the possibility of a certain Hedgehog coming to the computers. Enjoy!
...On this show right there! The first AJW All Star Dream Slam from 1993, commonly regarded as one of the greatest wrestling shows of all time. Having done a lot of King's Road AJPW lately, it seems like a good idea to get back into the world of Joshi and have a look at this amazing supercar...

Well, here it is -- the last part of Misawa vs. Kawada. It's been long, but it's been quite a pleasure to cover this lengthy feud, and hopefully it's been given the best possible treatment. Hopefully you have enjoyed it. :)

A rather interesting way of looking at the history of the ZX Spectrum is, oddly, through looking at the ports of Sega's Arcade Games to the humble computer. How do some of the most groundbreaking and technically great games of the time come to such an undepowered machine? Let's find out -- here's a look at every Sega Arcade to Speccy port, from big names like Space Harrier and OutRun, to the am...
2022-01-03 11:56:22 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year you wonderful folk. All being well, I should have not one, but TWO videos for you next week! One of them is already finished, a look at ports of Sega Arcades to the ZX Spectrum. The other just needs editing, with a 10,000 word script written and recorded -- and that's Misawa vs. Kawada Part 4: Predestined.
Hopefully you all have an amazing 2022. So many thanks fo...

It's Christmas again! And there's a Chridtmas vid. We've got a look at the various bits of goodness, badness and weirdness that you could get on Amiga coverdisks around the holidays, both festive and non-festive. Plenty of great games make an appearance -- Lemmings, Sensible Soccer, Fire and Ice, Theme Park, Cannon Fodder...oh, and some not so good ones too. Enjoy, and have yourself a Merry Chr...

Technos's Renegade was an incredibly influential arcade beat-'em-up, but when it found its way to the ZX Spectrum courtesy of Ocean Software, it quickly became a legend -- so much so that Ocean produced their own sequels to the game...with mixed results. This is a look at not just the making of a seminal arcade port, but also a dive into Target: Renegade and...yes, Renegade III: The Final Chapt...

Hey everyone! Here's my latest video. Hopefully you enjoy it.
In 1984, just as Atari was going through a massive overhaul, they released I, Robot -- the first fully 3D arcade game featuring flat-shaded real time polygons. It flopped at the time and was plagued with technical issues, but the game remains something of a marvel that's unique to the Golden Age. Here's a look into t...

It's getting pretty close to two years since I started making wrestling videos and documentaries that were exclusive to Patreon, and the reaction has been pretty fantastic. Of course, a lot of this was due to necessity -- I put a couple of big ...

In the third part of the series covering the epic rivalry between Mitsuharu Misawa and Toshiaki Kawada, Dangerous K continues to seek out that elusive victory over Misawa that he's been waiting for. Over 70 minutes this video covers a whole period from 1994 to 1998 -- including one of the greatest tag matches of all-time, the bouts from 1995 and 1997, a continued l...

Hey folks!
Here's a little something for you -- I've been working hard on the third part on Misawa vs. Kawada, and I thought I'd let you folks have a look at what I've got so far.

Well, here it is! The full and finished version of SimCity, coming in at just over an hour. The story of what may well be one of the most important computer games ever created. Hopefully you all enjoy it. :)
A special thanks to patron Edgar Alastre, who made this request and pointed me in the direction of a rather large SimCity rabbithole.
Hey hey. Here's a little something special for ya -- the first three chapters of the SimCity video I'm working on, around about the first 20 minutes or so. This is a video all about the creation of the first SimCity and how it became such a phenomenon of a game, becoming so important, breaking into the mainstream and so on, along with the making of the game and just how much trouble Will Wright...

Hey hey.
Over the past few months I've had to cut a whole lot of stuff out from Heroes of Wrestling on YouTube, which has been endlessly disappointing. After another bunch of claims yesterday I thought "sod this" and decided to reupload in a more YouTube-safe version, which might stop it. A shame but hey-ho. This is the original version, without any cuts, now on Patreon - at le...

A brand new video for you all! Here's a look at the almighty Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future, and the rather interesting set of games for the micros that came out with his name on them. There's quite a wide set of Dan Dare games, and most of them are actually pretty good too! So do enjoy this look back at one of the UK's most legendary comic heroes.

In this video, the 2nd part of the big Misawa-Kawada series...at last, the two of them clash! We have a look at the days of the Super Generation Army before, ultimately, they explode.

I had hoped to get it done this week but had a rather long time yesterday spent without power, so wasn't quite able to finish it yesterday as planned. But the last segment will be done today and it should be up for tomorrow :)
