Forgotten Worlds Issue #4 & #5 "A Magazine About Making A Magazine About Old Video Games Magazines!" @american80s #Retrogaming

Forgotten Worlds Issue #4 is 'A magazine about old video games magazines' (it says so on the front.)

This wonderful insight into the world of old video games magazines piqued my interest immediately and just so happens that it coincided with me just finishing reading Julian 'Jaz' Rignall's Book 'Games Of A Lifetime' so I was well in the mood for some more old video game mag stories and histories.

Why I Love Worms The Video Game - The Origin Of Worms (Part 2) 🪱🪱🪱 #Retrogaming

Worms the Video Game was always a part of my gaming life even when I had a bit of a gaming hiatus in my late teens. It was a game for me that united gamers and non gamers with a simple concept that could be played by anyone. It was also a great game when having a few drinks at a mates house. Drunk Worms is truly the greatest video game experience! 

My first taste of Worms was on the PlayStation 1 when my friend had invited me over for a few drinks and a game of Pro Evolution Soccer. After a few games of PES he mentioned Worms was a great game that him and his girlfriend played a lot of. 3 hours later, 4 Player Worms matches were kicking off left right and centre and I had fallen in love with the Worms franchise.

I think the original Worms and Worms 2 are the gold standard for the Worms franchise but I will play any worms game that comes along.

Worms recently entered my head while I was on a long boring car journey (I was driving) and I thought "Hang on, I barely know anything about the origin of Worms", So I took to the internet (after I had stopped driving) and went down a 'WormsHole' to try and find out some tasty facts on the origin of Worms and here's what I learned.

Pacific Drive Xbox Series X Review 6/10 "Now my car has a slightly stronger left door. Thrilling!" 🚘🌲@ironwoodtweets #IndieGames #GameDev

Keith was a little disappointed that the picture on Auto Trader didn't quite match the car which was on the car salesman's forecourt...

What happens when a heaping pile of things I love crashes at full speed into a brick wall of stuff I despise? Pacific Drive, that’s what! On paper, this chill, spooky, and surreal adventure is very much my bag. Within the first few minutes, it becomes clear this is a big honking homage to Andrei Tarkovsky’s monumentally awesome 1979 film Stalker, with a killer indie-synth soundtrack and fun 70s aesthetics bolted on top.

The game opens with you driving through a beautifully realized recreation of Washington state’s rainy Olympic Peninsula, before being accidentally tossed into the “Zone”. This walled-off area is the testing ground for mysterious technology, resulting in chaotic, dangerous, and surreal phenomena. After finding a working station wagon, you must figure out a plan of escape, aided by eccentric scientists and technicians on radio comms.

That crack in John's windscreen was something that AutoGlass just outright refused to fix.
