[ad_1] Jeff Minter is a genius. I don’t know how else to describe a developer who’s been dabbling in far out magic since 1982 and conjuring up games that have always been pushing at the more extreme edges of the form: fizzing psychedelic light shows backed up by tightly engineered arcade chops, and experiences…

[ad_1] Well this is a surprisingly tough thing to write: after what’s fast coming up to 12 years knocking around these parts, today is my last at Eurogamer. I hope you don’t mind a self indulgent pick for my final crack at Game of the Week (Bertie and Donlan will be taking over from…

[ad_1] Sometimes you really don’t know how good you’ve got it. Just over a decade ago Sega dropped a batch of Model 2 ports on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, providing impeccably presented emulations of some of the games that carved its reputation in 90s arcades. Virtua Fighter 2, Cyber Troopers Virtual-On and…

[ad_1] Game of the Week goes out to all of our supporters as part of the Eurogamer Essentials newsletter. There’s going to be a slight shake-up of the supporters program in the near future (don’t worry – it’s all good news) so stay tuned for more details. Thanks as ever for your support – it’s…

[ad_1] 19:57 pm UTC And we know what not to expect – namely there’ll be no Starfield here tonight. – Martin Robinson 19:56 pm UTC Unfortunately Tango Softworks’ new game already leaked, which I think was going to be the one surprise amisdt the stuff that was already billed – but still, a closer look…
