I recently had some *gasp* free time, and I thought the best way to fill it would be to pull all my beloved Famicom games out and put in and play each and everyone, if only for a minute. I sat down and played for a good solid three hours… something I haven’t done with [...]

I recently gathered all my SEGA boxes and crowned one of my gaming shelves with their awesomeness. Funny thing is, I never really set out to collect SEGA stuff boxed, it just kind of appeared.Having realized that I was in possession of such a glut of radness I just had to centralize it all. It [...]

Every video game collector has one… one game they really want, but cannot for whatever reason get their hands on. I am not talking about Stadium Events, or a Genesis Blockbuster cart, here either. The game is often times incredibly common, but for whatever reason it constantly eludes you at every turn. Take my own [...]

It’s been a while since I posted an update on the ol’ game room. It has under gone some dramatic changes since I first put it together when I claimed the downstairs spare bedroom as my own shortly after my wife, my daughter and I moved into our new house over a year ago. Since [...]

Another year is nearly at an end. This is the third anniversary (minus a day or two) of this site, and it was a good year for Video Games Are Rad; readership has doubled again for the third year straight, and I couldn’t be happier. In fact, the page views for December 2010 are nearly [...]

Look at all those Famicom games! My collection of Famicom games has blossomed to this beautiful array of radness from my initial 10 cart lot I bought around 3 years ago. Amongst this ocean of 60-pin carts are some of my most cherished components of my collection. Soem of my highlights include The Hyrule Fantasy: [...]

I stumpled upon this site during my internet travels and was absolutely floored by this guy’s collection- all of it Famicom, most of it pirates. This guy has a pretty stellar collection of games, and I really like the simple, no bullshit way he presents it on his site. I highly recommend you click over [...]
Game Room Tour!

Hey! It’s been a while since I posted updated pictures of my game room, so I thought what the hell- let’s take some photos. Without further ado: This is the back corner of the temple of doom. It used to be a closet area. Minus the doors and the hanger rod and plus some shelves, [...]
