It wasn't supported long enough to get mapper chips in cartridges like Nintendo used, so even though it's more powerful than the NES, there aren't any SMS games that can really compare to Mario 3 or Kirby's Adventure. But I think the system still stands strong for arcade-style action! I love the SMS...

Heck yeah, I've loved The Avalanches since I first heard Frontier Psychiatrist on the radio 20+ years ago. When I first heard Wildflower, I didn't like it as much as Since I Left You since it's pretty different, but I've warmed up to it a lot and now it's my favorite of their albums. Glad they got o...

I've never owned a 2600 but it is the system on which I was exposed to video games, so it does have a place in my heart. I remember being at a daycare place where I could play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong on it. Pac-Man may not be a good version of the game, but as a small child figuring out that "e...

I've played Barnyard Blast! I listen to the Insert Credit podcast and one of the folks on it worked on the game; bringing it up was a brief running gag. It's not entirely a good game, but it's also not entirely a bad game. It's flawed but fun enough with some very 2008 humor. One deep cut game I hav...

I want to make a list of my favorite DS games, but I feel like my list is kind of pedestrian/expected. The Dragon Quest games, the Ace Attorney games, the Castlevania games, Elite Beat Agents, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors... they're all good, but feel too obvious to mention. But I guess that's one of t...

Where'd you go to college? I graduated from University of Hartford in '08.

I got Mad Stalker from Strictly Limited Games . I have a few other Genesis carts from them and they put out a quality product. Even though they're based in Europe, they cater to an American market as well. Although if you ever preorder something from them, you'll probably wait a long time, like with...

I've always been way more of a Sega fan than a Nintendo fan and don't actively collect for NES, so this is actually the first NES Mario game to go in my collection! (I have ports and remakes though). I have a friend who came into a big NES lot and she gave me the cart. I figured I might as well have...
