For some reason, July 2005 was a slow posting month for me. Seems a little strange since I was only working part time that summer. Anyway, here is a look back at a few of the more interesting posts from one year ago… GBA/DS Shooter Revival Takes Shape One year ago, we started to see […]
If you ask most gamers to list off the current-generation consoles (soon to be last-gen), the will probably recite “PS2, XBox, and Gamecube”, but conveniently neglect the Sega Dreamcast. As many of you know, the Dreamcast was way ahead of its time ” (literally fifteen months before the PlayStation 2 and three years before GameCube […]
If you thought you were excited when you saw the first Issues of Nintendo Power and Playstation Magazine posted in PDF form, you are going to really start drooling when you log into RetroMags. The incredible team of scanners is dedicated to scanning a number of classic gaming magazines and releasing them in mass quantities. […]
If you grew up in the late 80’s/early 90’s like me, your life probably was saturated with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Those Heroes-In-A-Halfshell appeared just about everywhere including a number of video games. In the early 1990’s, two of my favorite arcade games were Street Fighter 2 and Konami’s TMNT arcade side-scrolling brawler. When […]
I’m keeping up my once-a-week Magazine scan, but I decided to mix it up a bit this time. I know there are a lot of loyal Sega Saturn fans reading this, but I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the first issue of Playstation Magazine from September of 1997. After posting […]
The Street Fighter Alpha Anthology has hit the streets and is ready to give 2D fighter fans a retro fix on their PS2s. While SNK has been quickly putting out a number of its old titles via emulated compilations, Capcom took the time to create fully arcade-authentic ports for the PS2 resulting in a very […]
While SNK may have finally fininshed supporting the Neo-Geo, there are still independant developers that have worked on Last Hope, an ambititous new 2D shooter that has the Neo-Geo community quite interested. So far, the game has only been released as a very limited edition and expensive Neo-Geo cartridge (a Neo-Geo CD and Dreamcast version […]
After going on mad downloading sprees for years, I took a long break from collecting retro gaming files from around the Net. This is mostly due to the lack of a reliable resource and/or a good selection of things I didn’t already have. However, this past month I was blessed with a membership to Underground […]
I’m following up on the first issue of Sega Visions magazine with the first issue of the beloved Nintendo Power. I can still remember when this issue first came out. I would have just been starting the third grade and I could help but be fascinated with the infamous claymation representation of Mario and the […]
The Sega Dreamcast is quite possibly one of the most versatile console of all time. They also happen to be quite affordable and plentiful. If you don’t already have one, you need to pick one (or two) up. If you already have one, take a look at some hardware and software that will maximize your […]
Over the last decade or two, we have seen a wide variety of gaming hardware — each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Personally, I would love to be able to play with just about every unique piece of hardware at least once. However, some of the most interesting gaming machines are both difficult to […]
Castle Crashers is the new beatemup from The Behemoth (makers of Alien Hominid) and is planned to be an XBox Live Arcade exclusive for the XBox 360. Joystiq GDC ’07 Gameplay Video Official Trailer: PAX Footage: Level 1 Gameplay on XBLA:
I love to flip through old video game magazines. To me, gaming mags only get better with age. That’s why I’m going to do my best to routinely post either full PDFs of entire gaming mags or at least post some interesting clips. To start off, I want to share Sega’s answer to Nintendo Power, […]
I have found some new video clips of the upcoming Super Paper Mario for the Nintendo Gamecube. (This is not to be confused with the RPG-ish Paper Mario games on the N64 and GC). This new platformer goes back to the old platforming roots of the original NES and SNES Mario games and the recent […]
Even though I’m not particularly interested in the PSP as a whole, it does have a handful of redeeming retro games under its belt, and as I elluded to earlier, Konami’s headlining shmup series is one of the latest additions. With the latest PSP compilation you will receive five beloved Gradius titles in one exciting […]
