The Catch-Up Post: SMS Badass Edition
Well, it’s been a couple of months since I posted, and I mentioned that I’d be instating a moratorium on classic game purchases after the Midwest Gaming Classic. Did I stick to it? In fact, I did! I went the month of April without making any classic gaming purchases. My wallet thanks me! (Though I […]
Impressions: 3DO Edition (plus some Saturn and Neo-Geo)
I got a handful of new games with my new 3DO testing station. After taking them for a quick spin, I have a few thoughts to share on each. Here goes:
Alone in the Dark: I played and beat this game for the PC back in the day. Good stuff all around. I’m kinda looking forward to […]
Latest Haul: 3DO Testing Station and more!
Alright, I admit it… I splurged. Last year, I started dabbling in homebrew for the 3DO, and while I did make some progress, I hit a wall pretty fast. I managed to get a couple simple demos written and created a nice development environment with the official SDK and a Mac emulator, but not much […]
Latest Haul (and Impressions): Icebreaker II
Well, what’s this? A new 3DO release? That’s right… As I mentioned on one of the first posts to this blog, OlderGames.com was planning to bring us several new 3DO games. Well, the time is now. The Classic Gaming Expo has come and gone, the games are officially released, and everyone that placed a pre-order […]
Impressions: Populous, Killing Time, Landstalker
I mentioned on the About page that I’m something of a lazy gamer. Or, at the very least, I’m not a very dedicated gamer. When I was younger, I could dedicate myself to a single game for hours on end, day after day. I just don’t have the attention span for that anymore. I think […]
EA not totally put-off by 3DO experience
It’s not often that the 3DO gets any mention in the modern gaming environment. While other older platforms like the NES, SNES, Genesis, and TurboGrafx-16 are seeing new life with services like XBLA and the Wii Virtual Console, the 3DO is pretty much dead and forgotten to modern console owners. But, it’s interesting to see […]
Recommended: Logitech 3DO Controller
Third party controllers are generally the bane of any serious gamer. Everyone knows that first party controllers are the best and anything else is merely second class. Third party controllers are the controllers you give to guests you don’t like, or to that guy that’s just too good and needs a handicap.
Well, that’s all fine, […]
Total Eclipse (3DO)
Like with my first Saturn review, I spent some time debating what I wanted to cover first for the 3DO. There are some great games for the system, but most of them are overshadowed by the overwhelming amount of crap that is available, too. I wanted to pick something that I felt properly represented the spirit of […]
New “classic” games for 3DO, C64, Saturn, and more
Nothing warms my heart quite like seeing old game consoles get new releases. There’s just something uplifting about knowing there are other people out there that remember and are recapturing the same good times I had with my old games. Plus, it’s just plain fun to finally see “what almost was” back in the day.
With […]
