A clever coder has created what is surely the fastest, smoothest and most impressive racer for the Atari STE. Indiana Jones has a new game out but lets not forget the old ones. Watching people play games is getting more popular but why and is it really a new thing?

Issue 25 of Pixel Addict magazine is ready to order! Fantasy World Dizzy is arguably the most iconic game the Oliver Twins and Codemasters ever released. To mark the game's 35-year history, writer Graham Pembrey is joined by Andrew and Philip Oliver to discuss the twins' fondness for Dizzy, as well as the franchise's undying popularity from fans. There is an in-depth look at the history of the Dizzy series. Head over to pixel.addict.media
