Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis is finally a go for the US on March 18th and I have the rare opportunity to try the Atelier Iris spinoff before its release date.  Now I’ve never played any of the games in the series, so I was a little leery of the game when I first received [...]

I have to credit Retrogaming guru Racketboy for opening a discussion about how to play with PsOne visuals. Chrono Cross looks especially sharp on the PC when you play with Pete’s PSX Open GL render and have a fancy graphics card.

Watch: Baroque Opening (PSOne/Saturn)

By Rolando . March 14, 2007 . 5:29pm

A while back, I made mention of Sting working on a PS2 remake of their PSOne/Sega Saturn game Baroque. Out of sheer curiosity, I took it upon myself to see if I could find the opening to the original Baroque game on the Internets because, you know, you can pretty much find anything; and to [...]
