​PIXEL REVIEW: DEEP DUCK TROUBLE SMS 9/7/2025
1994 would see a new, SEGA-published Donald Duck platformer for the Master System. After a sterling run of form, would Disney's talismanic figure deliver a fitting swansong for the 8-bit system? Tom has the lowdown.

​PIXEL REVIEW: WARIO: MASTER OF DISGUISE DS 21/6/2025
Mario can't be left to hog all the limelight! Nintendo's grouchy antagonist Wario starred in a portable adventure of his own in 2007. Shades of Metroidvania and outfits harbouring different abilities: Shane looks at how it all comes together.

​PIXEL REVIEW: LEGEND OF LEGAIA PS 18/6/2025
Legend of Legaia was overlooked to the point of invisibility when it released in the UK in 2000. It's a real shame, because as Tom remembers, it marked another superb RPG outing on a system that had plenty of stand-outs.
