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.

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 […]
