The Cursed Knight is a platformer / shmup hybrid whose development is already completed, but the developers are seeking funding through Kickstarter to manufacture the […]

Retro Frog has just released a plastic clip that holds the Dreamcast controller cable firmly in place. Since its release, the Dreamcast controller has been notoriously criticized for some of its odd design choice.

I’ll admit that while I’ve booted the 1st level of the original PlayStation 1 game Chrono Cross at least a hundred times, it’s always been to test resolutions.
