Retro publisher, SNEG, recently brought a slew of Warhammer classics to Steam – many for the first time. SNEG is a prolific publisher of such things, with the company previously responsible for a massive number of DOS-era Dungeons & Dragons titles, as well as a significant portion of the classic SSI strategy catalogue being available on Steam thanks to the…
Squint hard enough, and the AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini x B.Duck Limited Edition looks like a Chocobo limited edition. That was a good enough reason for me to buy one. It’s actually my first AYANEO device, and I can certainly see the appeal of them, sitting in the growing pool…

When Square Enix revealed the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, there was always the sense that they weren’t going to be done with this, and so it wasn’t totally surprising when it was announced that the first two games in the legendary “Erdrick Trilogy” would get the same treatment. Related…
