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 […]
Latest Haul and Impressions: TurboGrafx-16 Edition
Boy, I feel like I’ve been spending a lot of money on games lately. But between the 3DO Testing Station last month and this haul this month, that’s not far from the truth. In fact, it is the truth! And to think, I’ll be going to the Midwest Gaming Classic in a couple of weeks, […]
Latest Haul and Impressions: Buster Bros. & Battletech
Believe it or not, I’ve been pretty busy with retro gaming lately. I may not be posting much, but I’ve been playing a lot of my Turbo, lurking messageboards, and watching eBay like a hawk. My latest acquisitions are Battletech (Genesis) and Buster Bros. (TurboGrafx-CD). Battletech was a nice find, because someone at work posted […]
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: F-Zero, The Lion King, and More
What’s this? A post to The Retro Review Project? I know, I know, I’ve been lax lately (okay, really lax), but sometimes gaming just takes a back seat to life. But I’m starting to feel the pull of the old consoles again, so here I am. The last four months have been slow, but I’ve made a […]
The spirit of classic games
I’ve been posting to The Retro Review Project a little less lately, and that’s mainly because I’ve been playing fewer classic games, so I had less to say. My game playing goes in cycles, I guess you could say. Sometimes I buy and play a lot of games, sometimes I don’t buy or play any. […]
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 […]
What secrets CDs may hold…
The Sega Saturn was my first CD-based console, and I remember being really intrigued by the format. Sure, I was familiar with CDs, but I thought it was really cool that I could take these games, which were meant to be played on a console, and explore them in a number of other devices that […]
Latest Haul: Midway Arcade Treasures
Alright, I have a confession to make. Maybe the “Wii Virtual Console” category gave it away already, but I do own and play systems that are more modern than the Saturn. [*gasp*] The retro gaming kick that I’ve been on is something that started several months ago — probably around when I got a Neo-Geo CDZ. […]
The Retro Gamer’s Lament
I wonder how many other retro gamers have the same problem that I do: I want to buy way more games than I probably should. I’ve already posted a couple of Latest Haul posts and even sent myself on a mission to get the hardware and software required to play Snatcher. On top of that, there’s […]
