ROMANTIC BLUE

It's Valentine's Day today. I've already celebrated it with death and destruction, but that doesn't seem like enough to mark such an occasion. How about adding the ghosts and gore of The Romantic Blue? Surely that will make any date doe-eyed.

TITANIC: ADVENTURE OUT OF TIME

It's the time of year for love and romance, and what better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than with wanton destruction and needless death. For some reason, the disaster that was the sinking of the Titanic has become synonymous with star-crossed love stories, even before Kate let go of Leo's frozen hand. Adventure A year before that movie's massive success, Cyberflix Incorporated decided to take us on an eerily accurate recreation of the famous ship in Titanic: Adventures out of Time.

FATAL RACING (WHIPLASH)

When it comes to racing, there are very distinct sub-genres for very different types of people. Gearheads love the realistic simulations while silly fun-lovers love the mascot kart racer. What does it say about me that I prefer the absolute chaos of games like Fatal Racing?

THE CRYSTAL MAZE

To anyone of a certain age living in Britain during the early 90s, The Crystal Maze needs no introduction. It garnered the highest viewing figures Channel 4 had at the time and was (and still is in my opinion) the zenith of all game shows. Everyone and their mother wanted to be a contestant, but after its cancellation in 1995, only a few would ever have that honour. At least now anyone can experience its awesomeness. At least you would hope.

THREE MORE DISNEY INTERACTIVE STORYBOOKS

   

What better way is there to cure of those January blues than a good dose of Disney? Read further to get a look at three more Disney titles for the very young (and young at heart).

CLUEDO (CLUE)

Out of all of the classic board games stored away in the spare room, Cluedo (or simply Clue to some) gets dusted off more than most in my household. It's a game that relies on skill and reasoning more than blind luck (of which I have none) and it certainly tickles your inner Poirot or Miss Marple. In 1994, Hasbro Interactive decided to bring the game to Panasonic's ill-fated CD-i system, and in doing so, set the wheels in motion for something drastically different with the license.

JUMP: THE DAVID BOWIE INTERACTIVE CD-ROM

Like many of you, David Bowie had a profound presence in my life. As a boy of the 80s, I first came to know him as Jareth the Goblin King in the brilliant family film Labyrinth (still my go-to film whenever I need cheering up), but over the years his infinitely inventive entertainment became just as important. In the world of video games, most would cite Omikron as a major piece of work - and rightfully so - but that was not his first stab into the digital world. That award goes to JUMP, Bowie's 90s stab at the in vogue CD-Rom multimedia disk.
