Donald here. I run Fonald3D, a small YouTube channel with gameplay and set-up guides for older titles that tend to be in a pain in the arse to get running and enjoy. In-between all that, I make light-hearted and humorous little videos about whatever dumb games I’m into at the moment – E.g. the Austin Powers video games or the Ape Escape/Metal Gear Solid crossover.

Released in Japan in 1999, and in North America and Europe in 2000 and 2001, respectively, The Legend of Dragoon is an odd example of a JRPG that found its financial footing in the West, rather than the East. Despite a middling critical reception and a release date that came at the tail-end of the […]
The previously untranslated, Japan-only, Germs Nerawareta Machi (or, Germs: the Targeted Town in English) has always been a bit of a holy-grail for us PS1 nerds. An open-world, horror-tinged adventure game that looks like someone gave David Cronenberg a PlayStation devkit, Germs has the same haunted appeal as other spooky PS1 curiosities like LSD: Dream […]
Some excellent news for all you Ravens out there: every single Armored Core game for the PS1, PS2 and PSP can now be enjoyed with full dual-analog movement, thanks to the mighty efforts of GitHub user, VanLaser. Despite being such a long-running franchise, the Armored Core games didn’t actually receive real dual-analog movement until 2004’s […]
Lord Almighty, it’s a Christmas miracle! The absolute champions over at ZeldaRET have done it again, this time with a full decompilation of Capcom’s GBA classic: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. No word on a PC port or anything too exciting just yet, considering the decompilers won’t be handling it themselves. However, knowing […]
Shhh! Don’t tell Nintendo, but a lovely new PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX has just popped up on itch.io. Boasting a slew of new features, like widescreen support, unlocked framerates, custom button mapping for items and weapons, and, most impressively, the ability to play the entire thing zoomed out with […]
After 15 years of community development, KeeperFX, a reverse-engineered source port of 1997’s Dungeon Keeper, has finally entered the big leagues with this nice 1.0 release. With a laundry list of QoL updates, compatibility fixes, tools for modders and even some new custom campaigns, KeeperFX is the best way to enjoy Peter Molyneux’s classic baddie-simulator. […]
21 years since its original release for the PS2, the weird Japanese summer vacation life-sim game, Boku no Natsuyasumi 2, is at long last fully translated into English. After 11 months of work and with over 5,000 lines of dialogue translated, the efforts of translation team Hilltop Works mean we lowly gaijin can finally live […]
A new fan-made PC port of Perfect Dark has just blasted its way onto GitHub. Based on the original 2000 N64 release, which was fully decompiled by enthusiasts late last year, this new work-in-progress PC port of Rare’s old FPS classic is shaping up very nicely. With no multiplayer, a lack of in-game options settings, […]
Saturn fans rejoice! 8bitdo’s excellent M30 controller just got a lovely new makeover in the style of the Sega Saturn’s Japan-only HSS-0101 pad. With a solid white body, six multicoloured face buttons and two deep red shoulder buttons, the new M30 is a perfect re-creation of that old NTSC-J controller which tantalized PAL and NTSC […]
A new source port for classic 1995 sci-fi racer, Wipeout, has just popped up on GitHub. Purportedly based on the NTSC PS1 release, Wipeout Phantom Edition features a slew of nifty improvements making it an easy sell for those looking to hop back into the cockpit of an F3600 anti-gravity ship. New features, which make […]
