GAMING THROUGH HISTORY
- Jaz Rignall: Playing video games since 1978. Writing about them since 1984 -

So this is an actual screenshot of J Kyle Pittman’s “You Have to Win the Game” - an awesome old-school platformer that has one of the best retro-aesthetics I’ve seen. Boasting highly realistic CRT TV looks, complete with scanlines and fish-bowl screen effect, and authentic ZX Spectrum-esque flick-screen action, You Have to Win the Game feels like it just fell out of a time warp from the early 80’s. It’s tough, but a lot of fun. And this brilliant little game is also free! So you’ve got no excuse not to go and download it for your PC.
