A new favourite website, maybe.

Possibly it’s appeal won’t last but how brilliant is bestoldgames.net? With some lovely freeware downloading and a link to the equally ace DOSbox it’s allowing access to some gems, for free, that you may otherwise not have the opportunity to experience.

Another World is the current 32-bit classic of choice, but a quick browse of the site also proffers such delights as Lemmings, Dune, Gods, The Chaos Engine, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Titus the Fox, Alone in the Dark*, Duck Tails and Discworld. Truly a Pandora’s box of wicked temptation



This is one of those developments, alongside the ever glorious ScummVM (allowing us access to the older works of Lucasarts and Revolution among others) that make the internet (and the world) a little bit of a better place. Speaking of which, can I make a miniature plea right now that Revolution’s update of Beneath A Steel Sky might be Nintendo bound. Be a nice little addition for the DS this...



And for a final touch of very exciting news, Studio Ghibli is working on a DS game called, Ninokuni: The Another World...



*Seriously, Infogrammes were ace, am still pissed off that they changed their name to Atari.
