Rescue Mission Released: 1988 Platform: Sega Master System Publisher: Sega Developer: Sega Having recently become the proud owner of a lovely 26″ Philips CRT television for the princely sum of £10, I am now able to enjoy a genre of gaming that I once loved; the light gun game.

Hand of Fate Developer: Defiant Development Publisher: Defiant Development PS4, Xbox One, PC Fighting Fantasy books from Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone are some of my favourite childhood memories.
