10 years ago, the Colin McRae Rally franchise evolved into DiRT, alongside the advent of the 7th generation of consoles.
It’s the perfect time to recall that huge leap and, also, its origins!

I’ve been messing around with my QuickShot Maverick 1 and ended up discovering a new and far more enjoyable way of exploring certain games that I used to play with a traditional joystick back in my Amiga years.
So, here’s a list, with no specific order, of 26 Amiga titles that I’ve found to be more enjoyable when played with an arcadish style of controller like the Maverick 1!

By the end of 2000, one of the most satisfying off-road experiences passed completely under the radar of many fans of the genre.
Screamer 4x4 may be an untamed beast, but sure is an amazing ride!

For Halloween 2017, I take a look at Maldita Castilla, aka Cursed Castilla, this EXtended and limited PS4 physical release. Yeah, I know. It's a game for current gen systems, but it's a retro-looking game that must be played by everyone :)
It's not a review. It's a tribute to arcade times!
