Feature: Retro Special - By Tetsuo
Welcome to the Fointy Pinger Retro Special! This is a quick run down of some retro compilation games out there right now for the MAME-less. I intend to keep this updated as much as possible as there are loads of retro and arcade compilations arriving just recently. If you have any you would like to review, email me and I'll add them to the feature. Enjoy!

Album: In Rainbows - By Tetsuo
"For the first time in years, the band seems to have settled on their sound, no longer necessarily moving forward in a new direction. It's unquestionably one of their strongest works so far. In Rainbows still sounds like nothing else around - it's just tremendously enjoyable throughout."

Album: Zeitgeist - By Tetsuo
"Many have already (perhaps wishfully, but certainly misguidedly) likened it to a Siamese Dream-era sound, but that simply isn't the case. It has a rawness more reminiscent of early Melon Collie, and contains some of their heaviest material to date."

Game: Twilight Princess - By Tetsuo
Twilight Princess is drawn and with such attentiveness that it's easily one of the most visually impressive titles you'll play, but as terrific as everything looks and moves in the light world, somehow the Twilight world is even more alluring; with its dark atmosphere and colour scheme of hazy purples, yellows and reds, it's a stunningly beautiful place to explore.

Game: Radirgy GeneriC - By Tetsuo
"Visually, it has to be said Radirgy does look lovely. Consisting of five levels that progress from a clear morning through dusk and then to night, Radirgy is sharp and vibrant, from the bullets, backgrounds and pick-ups, it all bounces along to the up-beat techno music."

Game: OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast - By Tetsuo
"It's Coast 2 Coast's insistence on replaying stage after stage in pursuit of rankings and player points which unfortunately (and most unnecessarily) highlights the limited appeal of the game engine. The drifting is exposed as pre-determined and inflexible and sometimes prevents the player from attaining high ranking's due to a loss of speed."

Feature: Nintendo GameCube: The Top Ten - By Tetsuo
A deceptively powerful machine with an enduring appeal, the GameCube has played host to a magnificent array of diverse titles as well as a healthy library of Nintendo's own in-house classics. Fointy Pinger dusts off the purple box and rediscovers the ten most significant and brilliant peices of software the machine has to offer.

Game: Meteos - By Tetsuo
"Some planets have low gravity, allowing for more multipliers, whereas others drop rocks quicker or certain patterns fling blocks into the sky easier than others. Choose the one you like best and rinse it for all it's worth, or switch to another and see if your tactics work as well on that planet as they did on the one before it."
