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 […]

What’s with these videos of bad endings for our video game heroes? The other day, I stumbled upon a video of Street Fighter: The Later Years. A few minutes ago, I bumped into a video of Mario (and Luigi and Princess Peach) that shows our hero wasting his last life doping on shrooms and stars. […]

Yeah, pardon my curiosity. I just had to scan YouTube to look for a video of Circus Atari, since the game cartridge has been sitting on my desk for the past 24 hours and with me trying to figure out the game’s appeal.
After watching this video, however, I suddenly discover why:
It’s got to be the […]

This image put a smile on my face today. It’s a screenshot of the classic Atari 2600 game Circus Atari, designed by Mike Lorenzen and published by (who else!) Atari.
Prior to its release as an Atari 2600 game, Circus Atari was an arcade game (Exidy’s Circus, 1977) and an older Atari game (Clowns, 1978).
Oh, yeah, […]

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 […]

And, yes, I owe Aiza over at Gamerlite, one of b5media Video Games Channel’s newest blogs, an apology for not “promoting camaraderie” by answering her tag at the soonest possible time. Well, Aiza, blame it on Bayantel (whose service, sad to say, began to suck deteriorate [again] after my supposed speed and bandwidth upgrade—surprise!) and […]

If you’re a regular visitor of this blog and the rest of the Video Games Channel of b5media, then you probably already know why I’ve been gone for almost a week. If not, well, here’s a short explanation (which I also posted on my other b5media blog, MMOtaku):
Whew! What a nasty week! I won’t bore […]

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 […]

Here’s another video featuring a television commercial for the Coleco Telstar Arcade, my first video game console. Sigh, wish my Coleco Telstar Arcade’s still in pristine condition. But that’s all it is, a wish, since the cartridges that contain the video games have been lost. So here’s a toast to this personal trip down memory […]
