Latest Haul: Sega Saturn Stunner
This was a busy week for new retro game stuff. As I mentioned in one of my Sunday posts, I picked up a couple NES games and a Genesis game. On top of that, a recent eBay purchase arrived — a Sega Saturn Stunner ($9.99 plus shipping, brand new). That, in and of itself, does not […]
RetroMacro (6/26/07)
Alright, I think last week’s RetroMacro has been up long enough, so it’s time for the answer and a new one. For the solution to last week’s, I’ve updated the post so check it out!
As for the new one, it’s right off to your left. I tried to make this one a little easier, but again, you […]
RetroTube: Rock Out with Lords of Thunder
Back when I knew almost nothing about the TurboGrafx-16 and Turbo Duo, I did know one thing… That there was a game called Lords of Thunder and it had the best damn soundtrack of any game, ever. I knew this because I had a single, two-minute, low-quality .aiff audio clip that contained just a portion of one […]
Latest Haul: R.C. Pro-Am, Nightshade, Landstalker
I said it in The Snatcher Mission, and I’ll say it again. Even though I’ve given myself the task of reviewing each and every one of my old games, I’m going to buy more — I can’t help it! Do I have a problem, or do I have a hobby? I think of it as […]
Sonic R (Sega Saturn)
I debated for a while over which Saturn game I would review first. The Sega Saturn is one of my favorite platforms of all time, and I felt like it needed a worthy introduction. Would I pick one of its well known classics for a glowing review? Or one of my favorite lesser-known titles? Or […]
Sitegeist (6/23/07)
Well, it’s been a week since I bought a domain for this site and officially launched it. Traffic has been slow, but that will come in time. (If anyone wants to exchange links, leave a comment and let me know.) More importantly, I feel like the pieces are falling into place, and that I’m building […]
The Snatcher Mission
While the main purpose of this site is to give me a forum to review the games I’ve already collected and played over the years, I can’t quite stop myself there. I can’t avoid the fact that I’m going to buy more games. That’s just the way it is for me! But sometimes a game […]
RetroTube: Commodore 64 and Famicom montages
A couple of cool retro-gaming-themed YouTube videos have been making the rounds this week, so I thought they’d make a good introduction to another regular mini-feature I had in mind. YouTube is a veritable treasure trove of obscure video game minutiae, and I love almost every minute of it! So, I plan to share some […]
RetroMacro (6/18/07)
I’m going to try out a little feature I’m calling the RetroMacro. Consider it a quiz — a test of whether you’re a truly hardcore retro gamer! The way it works is simple. I post a picture and you figure out what it is. The catch is that they’re super close-up macro shots, showing familiar […]
Marble Madness (NES)
It seems there have been a plethora of marble-based maze games in the last several years. I think the recent trend started with Super Monkey Ball and was soon followed by Mercury, Marble Blast, Kororinpa: Marble Mania, and others. Well, they’re all rip-offs. Every last one of ‘em! Marble Madness is The One True Thing […]
