Curious. I remember playing Double Dribble. I remember enjoying every minute I spent playing Konami’s sports masterpiece on my Nintendo Entertainment System. I remember executing those righteous dunks with my faceless players. So what’s so strange about my recollection?
This picture comes to mind whenever I think of Double Dribble:
Actually, according to some serious retro gamers […]
Sigh. This is something we never had in this little tropical archipelago when every member of my generation was still young.
Oh, sure, we had tons of toy commercials, especially during those weekend cartoon marathons common in the 1980s to early 1990s. But, no, we didn’t have video game commercials—at least, I don’t remember watching them […]
I’ve always been a big fan of Pac-Man, that pill chomping yellow ball of the 80s video game craze. I’m not the only fan. Let’s take a look at some disturbing Pac-Man images that I’ve culled from the Net.
Killer Pac-Man
Whoever created this monsterpiece probably had a fixation on both Pac-Man and Jaws.

Picking up from where we left off, I was talking about Ken Masters’ Touch of Death combo on Street Fighter II. After a few tries (I’m trying to master it, but my fingers are kind of stiff, having been overused in MMORPGs), I’m thoroughly convinced that you can do a Touch of Death combo with […]
I found this really nick trick for Ken Masters on Street Fighter II for the arcade, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Sega Genesis. It’s called the Touch of Death Combo, and I’ve been trying it out (trying being the operative term). The move actually entails two combos: the first disables an opponent, the second knocks […]
It’s really amazing what video game developers can do with today’s technology. I remember playing Street Fighter on the Nintendo Family Computer and that game is a far cry from today’s version of Street Fighter. Viewing several videos of fights between Ken and Ryu has made my loins ache for a good gaming rig on […]
I’ve found this really neat article about this very subject, The Evolution of Ken and Ryu. Actually, I’ve been wanting to write something just like it for the longest time, but since I don’t have the entire Street Fighter collection within my grasp, I decided not to push through with it.
Here’s the introduction to the […]
As promised, I’m here to talk about The Goonies, not really much about the movie of the same name, but the 8-bit video game that inspired an entire generation of video game addicts.
Actually, there’s not much to talk about as game features go. The only news concerning The Goonies is the fact that it has […]
In the six months that I played Killer Instinct on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System back in the early 1990s, there are only two characters that I mastered—Orchid and Jago.
I like Jago’s moves. He’s pretty easy to control, his skill set being close to that of Ken and Ryu of Street Fighter fame. But Orchid, […]
Before we delve into the backgrounds of Killer Instinct’s cast of characters, I think we should first take a look at a brief background story of the game:
Ultratech is a very powerful mega-corporation (entities which, in this future setting, replaced all governments) which organizes a tournament called Killer Instinct. Along with regular participants, experimental creatures […]
