This is my holiday game, but I’ve started it early. Sue me. I’d forgotten how fantastic the opening section is – it’s been over ten years, after all – but it really throws you into the game and generates a real sense of urgency. It’s a shame that the game’s very much of its time

Played a lot of this over the weekend. I got in my boat and found a new village, defeated an evil elf, returned someone’s crystal eye, gave some powder to a dwarf so he could blow things up, that sort of thing. After having an easy time for the first five hours or so, I’ve

Went on a bit of an adventure last night, crossing the continent I was on, looking for anything I might have missed. After of lovely experience-giving battles, I found myself outside a cave. Dare I go in? What horrors lurked inside? No horrors, actually. Just some Fantasia-style brooms and a man who’d lost his crystal

The people there were scared of some horrible pirates who were hanging around, so I went and beat them up. (Violence, of course, solves everything.) The pirate captain was so impressed that

Sod the stupid goblins, time to play properly. Played for about twenty minutes over lunch, which consisted of wandering up to the first dungeon, beating the rubbish boss in two or three rounds, then getting congratulated for my great success. It’s nice to be thanked, but I didn’t even get a free stay at the

I’ve played a lot of Final Fantasy games, but the only one I’ve completed is the first. (Though I completed the Gameboy Advance version, rather than the NES original.) It was released last night on the iPhone and I bought it, despite the relatively steep £5.49 price, because I’m dying to play through it again.

I’m about thirty hours in now and it’s all I seem to be playing. Strange how things change, eh?

This lunchtime I had to stop some antlions getting to a tree. It was very easy indeed, especially as they all ran around at the other end of the level and didn’t even try to move towards the tree.
