The Elder Scrolls franchise starts here: Arena!

Released in Feb 1994, The Elder Scrolls: Arena was a sandbox CRPG unlike any other. It offered up the whole of Tamriel with hundreds of towns and dungeons to explore, crafting and spell creation systems - and laid the foundation for the franchise's lore.

Trivia: While the manual claims you can walk from one settlement to another, you actually can't; the area between them is infinite if you try. You need to use the fast travel system.

Beginning life as a gladiatorial combat game, the name Arena was later retconned into a nickname used by Tamriel's denizens for their world to reflect its harsh nature.

Good afternoon!

See that attribute clash and hear that beepy AY sound? That's a Speccy flavoured toot coming your way!

I picked up a big bundle of Crash and Your Sinclair magazines from 88-90 yesterday (26 for £25!), plugging a #ZXSpectrum shaped hole in our magazine library. And so, here's a few snippets of January 1989 CRASH.

Batman on the cover (though it's not referring to the movie one!), an iconic Barbarian II ad with a Gladiators TV show connection (that's Wolf!), Thalamus shmupery, and poking in some cheats!

I put up a first blog post in a series, as I look back at each Nintendo Power issue in order! For my own sanity I'm only committing to the first year for now, then we'll see how things go.
