Donald here. I run Fonald3D, a small YouTube channel with gameplay and set-up guides for older titles that tend to be in a pain in the arse to get running and enjoy. In-between all that, I make light-hearted and humorous little videos about whatever dumb games I’m into at the moment – E.g. the Austin Powers video games or the Ape Escape/Metal Gear Solid crossover.

The original Unreal is a fascinating single-player shooter which shares a striking amount of similarities to a certain Xbox shooter which would change the genre forever. Which one comes out on top today? And did the original Halo really change shooters for the better? All this and more, as we take a critical look at […]
Since it’s original arcade release in 2003, there have been an ungodly amount of ports, re-releases and remixes of Sega’s incredible OutRun 2. One such release, the PC port of OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast, has recently been receiving a steady stream of excellent tweaks and upgrades, courtesy of GitHub user emoose. These fixes and […]
In a time of 4K re-releases and crispy emulator upscaling, the idea of playing early 3D titles in anything but eye-popping HD might seem puzzling. Why deal with the fuzz and jagginess of internal resolutions as low as 240p? Surely, more visibility and clarity is always a good thing for these old games, right? Well, […]
Originally bundled with the Japanese release of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Rockman Dash 2: Episode 1: ‘Roll-chan Kiki Ippatsu!’ no Maki is a cute standalone demo for Mega Man Legends 2.

The Japan exclusive action platformer, Ganbare Goemon: Ōedo Daikaiten, has just recieved an excellent fan translation courtesy of Romhacking.net member acediez. Released in 2001 for the PlayStation, Ōedo Daikaiten draws heavily from the series’ side-scrolling SNES titles and should feel right at home for anyone who played The Legend of the Mystical Ninja back in the day.

With the release of Red Viper, a fully stereoscopic Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS, the community has once again proven that Fans Do What Nintendont. The creation of GitHub user skyfloogle, Red Viper finally brings the Virtual Boy’s tiny library to the system where it always belonged, perfectly preserved in all its red […]
Released in Japan in 1999, and in North America and Europe in 2000 and 2001, respectively, The Legend of Dragoon is an odd example of a JRPG that found its financial footing in the West, rather than the East. Despite a middling critical reception and a release date that came at the tail-end of the […]
The previously untranslated, Japan-only, Germs Nerawareta Machi (or, Germs: the Targeted Town in English) has always been a bit of a holy-grail for us PS1 nerds. An open-world, horror-tinged adventure game that looks like someone gave David Cronenberg a PlayStation devkit, Germs has the same haunted appeal as other spooky PS1 curiosities like LSD: Dream […]
Some excellent news for all you Ravens out there: every single Armored Core game for the PS1, PS2 and PSP can now be enjoyed with full dual-analog movement, thanks to the mighty efforts of GitHub user, VanLaser. Despite being such a long-running franchise, the Armored Core games didn’t actually receive real dual-analog movement until 2004’s […]
Lord Almighty, it’s a Christmas miracle! The absolute champions over at ZeldaRET have done it again, this time with a full decompilation of Capcom’s GBA classic: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. No word on a PC port or anything too exciting just yet, considering the decompilers won’t be handling it themselves. However, knowing […]
