The NES was hands down my favorite console growing up for many reasons but basically for its library of games. Faxanadu was one of those games. More importantly [...]

By on Saturday, June 11th, 2011 | No Comments

This article is out of  respect for Donkey Kong. As a kid i honestly thought it was ridiculously hard to play. I spent most of my console time on the Coleco and NES versions. The bulk of my Donkey Kong experiences was at the arcades growing up. Donkey Kong was huge back in the day. You guys remember those [...]

You guys remember this one? Blaster Master is one of my favorite NES videogames. First off, the protagonist’s name was Jason just like mine (as a kid that earned cool points from me).What i remember most was the addicting 2D platforming vehicle gameplay. Not only did Blaster Master have platforming vehicle gameplay but also top down shooter [...]

Old School – Kid Icarus

Kid Icarus is another timeless classic i played growing up. Released in 1987 (in the US) for the Nintendo Entertainment System. I swear looking back “87″ was the year to be a Nintendo fanboy/girl. So many classics were released that year including Kid Icarus. Produced by Gunpei Yokoi, the same guy who produced Metroid also [...]

Like most games in the “80′s” i first played Castlevania in the arcades first before playing it on the console. I would [...]
