If you're a dedicated retro-gamer, or if you're just old, you'll be familiar with the classic sports title, Daley Thompson's Decathlon. Originally publisher in 1984 (by Ocean, fact fans...), the game offered players the chance to compete in the ten Decathlon events as the multiply-medalled and incredibly idolised Daley Thompson.

Interactive Fiction is alive and well and being written in Scotland.

If you're not 'au fait' (literally 'with brains') with Interactive Fiction, it's the old fashioned kind of game …
Cobra's iBomber Defense Pacific has been nominated in the Best Mobile Games category in this year's European Games Awards. It's up against several other popular titles and is currently third in its category behind Burnout Crash and Another World 20th Anniversary Edition. This is something worth winning. Forget the Golden Rose of Montreaux, this competition …

It was exactly the sort …
Tracer is a brand new title from Dynamo Games for iPad - and very shortly - your other favourite iOS devices. Then Android, just to make sure everyone is happy (bar Blackberry users of course, but there's no helping some people...) Tracer draws inspiration from classic arcade titles such as Qix and Xonix, taking players …
WeeWorld has been around on the periphery of the games industry, for several years now. Yet while many people recognise the company, it has evolved hugely since it was founded and is now working at the cutting edge of interactive entertainment. So. In a nutshell: WeeWorld creates 'visually distinctive and deeply engaging web, iOS and …
Shplem is the BAFTA-nominated game, created in just 48 hours at the Scottish Game Jam, which took place at the start of the year. As well as the BAFTA, the game won the best tech and best artwork awards at the jam. Now Team Shpleh has started a crowd-funding project to help them turn the …
The Quest is a brand new original - and BAFTA nominated - puzzle game from the Guerilla Tea team. A new twist (that's terribly clever, by the way) on the Rubik's cube mechanic, The Quest challenges players to guide the bold knight, Sir Steve, on an epic quest (so not just a clever name...) to …
