As I said in a previous post, Super Mario World is replete with glitches. Wish I played it more back in the days when the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was still the “IN” console. Also in the last article, I showed you a video of a glitch involving Mario, Yoshi, an apple, a feather or […]

Among all Super Mario Brothers games, Super Mario World is probably the one with the most glitches—that is, if we base our assumption on the number of videos about the topic on YouTube. Most of the glitches, however, occurs only when Mario is riding Yoshi, jumping up to let Yoshi eat an apple or some […]

Unfortunately, the consoles in the video aren’t mine. Boohoo. At least I get to reminisce. It’s wonderful to know that there are video game fanatics out there who have preserved their consoles.
Sigh. My collection isn’t complete anymore. My old Coleco Telstar Arcade is in shambles … the only intact things that came with the original […]

There was a time that only big entertainment industry outfits were the only ones capable of producing animation out of clay. Now, every Tom, Dick, and Harry (or Jane, for that matter) can film, edit and publish these works of art.
As an example, I give you Retro Games by Sander van Kessel. Enjoy!

I’m talking about video game fanatics who choose to immortalize their favorite video game characters through tattoos. Check out these amazing images:

Personally, I wouldn’t go that far. Posters, floor tiles, accessories are more my thing than having my skin pierced by needles just to make a statement that I love […]

What do Breakout, Joust, Pac-Man and Q-bert have in common? Well, aside from being really old video games, the four have been featured in a cartoon-like video of someone’s Top 20 Retro Games of All Time.
Here, go take a gander (hint: focus on the way the games are represented rather than struggling with the fact […]

Actually, the word unbearable didn’t exactly come from me. It’s a quote from this British dude who seemed to have spent an entire afternoon trying to make a Smurf jump over white picket fences in the Colecovision game Smurf Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle. It’s funny how the label on the game’s box reads: “The Arcade […]

Talk about inspiring. I’ve just finished my daily rounds of Internet video publishing websites and found this classic video on YouTube featuring the different boss fights of yesteryear. Contra! Mega Man! Castlevania! Legend of Zelda! Punch Out! Sigh. Let me just shut up and dish out the video:
Whew! Makes me wanna bring out the Super […]

I’m currently watching a video on the history of video games by YouTube user applemctom, and my wife, Joyce, keeps asking me why I know majority of the games featured in the video. I guess my video games addiction is finally showing, eh? To test my mettle, I tried to list down in order all […]

If you’re a Re:Retro regular, you probably noticed that I cut the previous post, 10 arcade games I used to play #1, to five entries. Well, fear not, here’s the continuation. My apologies. I had to whittle down the list to five due to space limitations (actually, I didn’t want to bore you too much). […]
