About

Game Mashups tracks games that have been combined: AI-built mods that run one game inside another, vibe-coded browser games, traditional mods, official crossovers, cross-platform ports that put classics onto unexpected hardware, and creative camera or VR mods that reopen 3D worlds—first-person looks at isometric classics, injectors like UEVR for Unreal Engine games with real geometry.

Who writes this

I'm Robert, and I write Game Mashups. I grew up in the '90s without a console. My parents thought video games were a waste of time better spent reading, practicing piano or playing outside. I appreciate that now, but at sleepovers I was woefully unprepared with a controller, and I'd give up my spot in the rotation after coming last.

PC games got a pass for their "educational" potential and the problem-solving they demanded: MS-DOS games like Raptor and Chip's Challenge, Encarta's strange castle quiz MindMaze, and practically anything else I could get my hands on. To get Populous: The Beginning, I had to write a short essay on how the game would help me learn about the rich history of Native Americans. The essay is lost to time, but it was convincing enough that my parents gave me the game.

I loved Populous, so when I heard about Black & White I was sold. I loved its scale and ambition and put countless hours into it. That's a big part of why I care about old games getting new life, whether that's a mashup, a camera mod, a cross-platform port or Black & White in VR.

The blog

News, features and first-hand play reports live in the Blog, with an RSS feed. Hands-on reviews are collected under Reviews.

Grades

Hands-on reviews end with a letter grade from A to F, weighing fun, stability, setup and originality: A = I'd play it again tonight; C = worth 20 minutes; F = the clip is better than the game.

Safety: download only from official sources, and never use mods in online competitive play.
