Roaduru-Fighteru

I often have no idea what to type in this space, usually relying on people to fall for “HEY LOOK OVER THERE” tricks as I scarper off to the weekend. And I need to change that. What really helps, is having a topic every week to revisit. And since we’re still sort of a gaming site, why not chat about retro games? One of my particular favourites back in the day, was Road Fighter.

It was an odd racing game, an 8bit beast with a top-down view and some blisteringly quick gameplay. But I always loved the sound effects that came with each session. The 8 bits of sound that could convey anything from crashes through to oil streaks which would send a person spinning. Damn good fun. Anyone else ever play this gem?

In Other News: Prepare for some private DOOM, Ubisoft reckons Nintendo has learnt a few lessons and here’s how you’ll have every lackey in Mafia 3 ending their sentences with “Si Patron”.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because we were too busy reminding people at funerals to go pay their TV license.

  1. Lol! I played that game quite a lot. The modern versions don’t live up to the 1984 (great year) original.
