Max Payne 1. Brilliant storyline - the whole game had this whole bleak underworld thing going on which made it very atmospheric - especially when shooting thugs in gritty run down areas of town. I think I'm going to install it again and play it through for about the 6th or 7th time.

For me it was Sensible World of Soccer - I spent much of the 90s totally hooked on this. A close second is the Monkey Island series - second because it was great fun to play on your own, but as a kid I always played games with friends and SWOS was great for having tournaments with friends and colleagues, and third was Speedball 2 - which again took a great deal of my time in the 90s playing tournaments with friends.

These days I never get the chance to play games like I used to because of other commitments (I'm lucky to get 2-3 hours per week, as you can tell from my gamerscore on XBox!). I think WoW is lightyears ahead of other games, I've come to really enjoy the Pro Evolution series and I've really got to like Fable 2 and Fallout 3 recently, although many games seem too similar and innovation doesn't seem to be in the developers minds when making new games any more - they just seem to churn out more of the same.

The original Tetris for me, along with the original King's Quest.

Honorable mentions include NARC, Mercs, the original Wrestlemania arcade cabinet, Silent Scope (come on next gen remake!) and Street Fighter 2 Turbo Edition.

      Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
