I’m really amazed at the amount of fan-made videos on one of video gamedom’s most loved characters. Yes, I’m talking about Mario (”It’s always about Mario,” quipped Luigi in the last video we featured), and this time around, it seems our jumper-clad plumber is the victim.
As you have already probably guessed, the video is about […]

I was trolling for useful images for my growing Mario Brothers image bank the other night when I ran across these, uhmm, wonderful original artworks:
My apologies to the artists who created these Mario Brothers masterpieces. Apparently, the images, which I downloaded from Infosoldier, 1up, and Gay Gamer are reproductions as well.
Personally, I love the second […]

Ever wonder what will happen to the heroes and villains of Street Fighter when they grow older? Apparently, the guys up at CollegeHumor are asking themselves the same question. Fortunately, they’ve already found the answer as this video shows:

Okay, for those who aren’t really in the mood to read titles, I’ll repeat my request in the body text. Please look at this picture and tell me what you see:
What?!? You mean to tell me the sight of all those old video game consoles doesn’t turn you on? Mario and Donkey Kong should have […]

Yes, finally! Someone who thinks E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial scores better than another Atari 2600 game. The “another,” by the way, is an educational video game from Parker Brothers called Strawberry Shortcake: Musical Match-Ups. Duh! As if that’s not obvious.
Well, I’ve been planning to write about this Strawberry Shortcake game for some time now, and with […]

Okay, I’m stumped. Not that I mind, really. Not much anyway. It’s a little annoying knowing that you can’t beat a video game that you’ve played before. I’ll get over it, though.
Before I begin another mind-numbing round of Dungeon Keeper, which is, to me, one of the best games ever produced by Bullfrog Productions, I’m […]

By trying to keep up, I mean my futile attempts to keep up to the game as memories of playing it more than a decade ago flood my video game-addled head.
After a few hours (yeah, right) of playing Dungeon Keeper again, I still can’t make heads or tails of how the game works, despite having […]

And I think I’m starting to hate E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600, too. Why?
This video …
… has shown me all the little problems I had griped about as a kid, from the lack of intuitive gameplay to the keep-falling-into-holes-and-can’t-get-out bug. Sigh.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love the wrinkly ol’ alien, the film […]

Whew! All that talk about real-time strategy games and Cavedog’s Total Annihilation got me so het up that I decided to dig up my old copy of the game and play it. And with the opening sequence playing on my computer screen, memories started pouring in.
I remember one night in particular. I was on my […]

I know, I know, this post has nothing to do with retro-gaming. It could, if we consider the gaming applications on the mobile phone. I just thought I’d share this photograph with you for a few laughs and maybe some quirky remarks. I’ll be back in a day or two to share more retro-gaming goodies.
