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

Random Memories of a Toys R Us Kid

March 15, 2018

Yesterday I read the news that Toys R Us is going to liquidate entirely rather than restructure debt meaning that the last national toy chain in the US is shuttering its doors for good.  Over the years I witnessed the closures of Children’s Palace, K.B. Toys, and FAO Schwarz, and although I was dissatisfied or … More Random Memories of a Toys R Us Kid

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!

SuperRetroMania 100th Post Celebration

July 31, 2016

On June 2, 2015 I posted a piece on the 1995 R5-D4 figure and history was made.  Post number one on SRM set the tone perfectly.  There are a lot of nostalgia sites on the web but this site was mine.  Rather than being content to reply to other people’s memories it was time I forged a small … More SuperRetroMania 100th Post Celebration

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

Here we go again!  This is the fifth installment of Five Awesome Video Game Tracks! That means if my multiplication skills are still refined that you could enjoy 25 interesting video game melodies if you check out all of these installments.  It also means that I’ve written roughly 5,000 words dedicated to beeps, hums, and tones … More Five Awesome Video Game Tracks Part 5

Street Fighter II: 25th Anniversary

February 22, 2016

Recently Street Fighter V was released for the PC and the PS4 which I only know about because I ran across the info while reading about vintage games.  Amid the frenzy of the new Street Fighter game appearing in a store near you a key milestone in the franchise seems to have been overlooked.  Street … More Street Fighter II: 25th Anniversary
