Posted in Featured Article, tagged Featured Article, retrospective, video games, year in review on December 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t believe that it’s already the two year anniversary of the first post made on this blog. In celebration of this day, and also as a look back at the previous year, I have put together a tidy little post to mark the occasion.

Posted in Famicom Pirate Monday, tagged bootleg, chinese, Famicom, nintendo, pirate, street fighter 2 on December 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This week I am taking a look at a little pirate I bought about a year and half ago. One unique thing about this cart, that sets it apart from most of my other Famicom pirates, is the fact that this cart was new when I bought it. The label gives the name Super Game [...]

Santa did not disappoint, as usual. Under the tree and in my Mario stocking I received a plethora of gaming goodness, and I couldn’t be merrier. Aside from some DVDs, some manga, and an assortment of holiday-detailed gift cards, Santa left me some really awesome retro radness. These include the excellent (and highly recommended) RetroGamer [...]

It’s that time of year, as Christmas lingers in the chilled night air, that I take some time to reminisce about the Nintendo Famicom. if you are a regular reader here, you know by now that I am in love with the Famicom in all it’s awesome Japanese quirkiness.

I picked this up just yesterday from my local video game shop, Replay Games. It was priced slightly lower then the fair market price, because that’s the way they roll. The box has some slight crushing, nothing to servere, however whats in the box is absolutely pristine. This release is the first two Final Fantasy [...]

I got a pretty nice haul from a thrift store yesterday. The best part? The total came to under $15. The prize pig of the whole deal was the Final Fantasy 11 for PS2 with the guide for $1.99. Viva la Value Village! Upon assimilating this into my collection I realized that I own all [...]

Long time, no update! Things have been really crazy around here, and video games have kind of fallen by the way side. I have been getting some good deals and finding some treasure buried in the sea of crap. Here are some of those treasures: Star Wars for the Famicom, not to be confused with [...]
Finds! Master System!

I found this glorious little find in a used game store. A complete, minty fresh Master System. One of the controllers was even still in the plastic, along with all the paper work and manuals. I had an Master System, but I traded it in a while back for something else, mainly because I also [...]
