V2Z
V is for Vertical slice by the end of Feb. Red Orchestra-style multiplayer FPS ’83 should be sample-able by the end of next month. A project from the team that created Rising Storm and Rising Storm 2, this Cold War…
Year 2025
Friday Foxer #213
Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome…
Q2U
Q is for Quick fag card. I can’t look at card no.33 in Wills’ 1935 set ‘The Reign of H. M. King George V’ without thinking of a bizarre murder that occurred in Essex during WW2. At 1.45 on the…
L2P
L is for Last night I unwound with the help of FLEX Disc Golf. Recently bolstered with several new courses, this budget-priced offering manages to scratch multiple itches simultaneously. I enjoy its bucolic outdoor spaces, its dash of aeronautics, and…
G2K
G is for Game the rise and fall of a Great Plains superpower. Tired of 4Xing with fictional civs or highly stylised ‘historical’ ones? Because a free, GMT-approved version of Joel Toppen’s solitaire board game Comancheria has appeared in the…
A2F
Instead of making you wait until Friday for the first A2Z of 2025, I thought I’d chop it into five roughly equal portions, and post a portion a day every day this week.
Where am I?
Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Win THC’s favourite drone sim, Liftoff: Micro Drones
Already deep, my affection for Early Access Liftoff: Micro Drones is in danger of turning into an obsession now I’m weaning myself off H-ALT mode with the help of a new controller. Bedtime seems to come around awfully quickly when…

Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome…
Speed-date ravishing vintage pinball tables in Zaccaria Pinball
I’ve just discovered Zaccaria Pinball’s ‘story mode’ and I love it. Drawn back to Magic Pixel’s stunning sphere slapping sim by an unexpected announcement (yesterday, after a lull of over two years, the Hungarian devs released an update that included…
Platoon Commander prematurely pilloried
Pay no heed to curstking, Brumes Wolf, and GenXGamer, the three people who’ve Steam reviewed the Platoon Commander demo so far*. While this available-since-Monday trial currently has more rough edges than a gritstone rhombhectotriadiohedron, it’s also the closest thing to…
Apache Canyon is as early Eighties as Blake’s Seven and Bananarama
Me and the creator of Apache Canyon – a new game for the venerable Acorn Electron – have a few things in common. Not only are we Brits of a similar vintage, we’ve got the same surname and paternal grandparents.
