A Game (And A World) That Never Was

A long time ago, after many years away from computers of any kind, I went back to coding. At that time, exactly like today, I was deeply involved with consoles stuff, so I really appreciated when Sony put for sale its PS2 Linux Kit. It was back in 2002, so I don’t know how many […]

Leather Goddesses of Phobos Review

I’ve always been a videogame lover, possibly even before fully understanding what a computer really was.
