I’ve been asking this question since the early 2000s, and I don’t know for the life of me why I didn’t bother looking the answer up with Google, or any other search engine for that matter. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to ruin the mystery. It turns out, however, that the disappearance of Strategic […]
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 Wikipedia entry for Karateka, the game is mentioned as having received some notoriety as an Internet meme. Apparently, someone toyed around with the idea of rotoscoping the final sequence where the hero approaches Princess Mariko and replacing it with the hero performing MC Hammer’s dance from the hit single U Can’t Touch This.

In my last post I talked about Karateka, giving a little background about the video game (for those who don’t know about it) and lavishing my praise on, in my humble opinion, one of the best fighting games.
I mentioned that Karateka had all the elements of a good video game, including humor. Well, if you […]
Sigh. Where do I begin? Karateka is more than just a 1984 computer game Jordan Mechner, the brains behind hit adventure game Prince of Persia.

But I belong to the previous generation of basketball fans that idolizes Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan.

A few posts back, I answered fellow b5media video games channel blogger Aiza Bautista’s meme on what games I currently play. My answer included “a plethora of old video games, including Super Mario Brothers, Adventure Island, Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, and Contra. Well, I’ve talked about the first two and the […]
Ahhh, the miracle of videos that act as guides has done it again. This time around, I used the information I got from trolling YouTube in my quest to re-master Burger Time. Yeah, it’s that really old video game that lets you beat the crap out of some veggies. Anyway, take a gander at this […]
Today’s generation of gamers have it easy. They’ve got dozens of gadgets at their fingertips and all the data they need to finish the games they play on these gizmos. Talk about spoonfeeding.
Yesterday’s generation, on the other hand, went through the haystack to find the needle, which represents information on how to solve difficult puzzles […]
Did you know that there have been at least 63 video game consoles and personal computers in the past 50 years? Well, I didn’t … honestly. So imagine my surprise when I came across this video:
The author of this mish-mash, however, missed the entire Apple line of personal computers. I owned an Apple IIc, so […]
