Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo

January 17, 2021

Fanboys of modern gaming consoles like to bicker about how their console handles the latest generic FPS game with better water transparency or with a few extra lines of microscopic pixels.  Forget the fact that 90% of the console libraries are shared.  In the early nineties the vitriol spewed against children who supported the competing … More Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo

Breaking Down My Childhood NES Collection

February 18, 2019

During a warm spring day in 1990 my mind was pre-occupied as I struggled to push through my half day of Kindergarten.  Although I generally enjoyed school at this young age I knew that something monumental was awaiting me at my grandparents’ house.  It was this year that my grandma began a tradition of letting … More Breaking Down My Childhood NES Collection

Pilotwings 64 (N64, 1996)

February 2, 2017

Continuing the celebration of the N64’s 20th anniversary I decided it would make sense to look back on the entire launch lineup of the console.  Fortunately for me, the game system only debuted with two games: Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64.  Already a trend was developing.  Not only was the console itself adorned with the number … More Pilotwings 64 (N64, 1996)

Super Mario 64 (N64, 1996)

December 1, 2016

Since I wrote about the 20th Anniversary of the Nintendo 64 and we are still celebrating two decades of the seminal 3D system, I decided it was only fitting to take a look back at some of the great games that were available in 1996 with the console.  When the Nintendo 64 launched in North America on … More Super Mario 64 (N64, 1996)

Nintendo 64: 20th Anniversary!

October 3, 2016

As I sit here and type this it’s difficult for me to believe that the Nintendo 64 is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary.  I began buying retro video games when the N64 was still being actively sold on store shelves and was considered contemporary.  Now the Nintendo 64 itself is considered retro which makes me feel … More Nintendo 64: 20th Anniversary!

Five Awesome Video Game Tracks Part 6

June 11, 2016

We’ve all been there.  You’re playing a game and the tune from the stage you’re on is catchy enough that you begin to hum along with it.  Before you know it you were sitting in class or languishing away in your cubicle and that tune is on repeat in your head.  Game tunes may not … More Five Awesome Video Game Tracks Part 6

Super Mario Bros. (Hollywood Pictures, 1993)

April 2, 2016

In the early 90s, Super Mario Bros were king. I don’t know anyone that didn’t love Super Mario Bros. or any of the sequels. A movie was made called “The Wizard” that was really an infomercial for Nintendo and their products, and the centerpiece of the movie was a video game competition that showed the … More Super Mario Bros.

Star Wars: Shadows Over Christmas

December 10, 2015

When I was in middle school I would make sport of searching the house around Christmas time in an effort to uncover my gifts prior to the big day.  Perhaps I’m just not big on surprises but I would make it my quest to find as many presents as possible and enjoyed the foreknowledge of … More Star Wars: Shadows Over Christmas

GoldenEye 007 (N64, 1997)

November 22, 2015

When the Nintendo 64 was released it blew people away with the groundbreaking Super Mario 64 and the graphically impressive Pilotwings 64.  Unfortunately that was the ENTIRE launch lineup; two games.  Back in those early days of the Nintendo 64 it seemed like console owners were constantly waiting for the next release while enduring one … More GoldenEye 007 (N64, 1997)
