Retrospection Minis: Volume III
The Battle of Olympus (NES) Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And, as I’ve written before, in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, Nintendo was the recipient of much flattery. While most games of this nature simply pulled some elements from Nintendo’s most popular games while still remaining original, some were hilariously obvious in… Continue reading

My Video Game History: Blog Post #200!
According to my posts page, this post is officially my two hundredth blog post. It’s rather remarkable that I’ve gotten through two hundred of these given my inability to see nearly anything through as well as my mediocre writing skills. Initially, I intended to just mention this in an otherwise unrelated blog post, but decided… Continue reading

I’ll Be Comfortable Owning My Games
By and large, my blog is focused on retro games. A quick look at past posts will confirm this. Still, I do pay attention to what’s happening now, even if I rarely write about it.

Postgame Wrap-up: StarTropics
Many years ago when I was but a wee lad, I bought an NES Atlas from a friend (a friend that removed the Mario 3 card matching game solutions before delivering, I may add). I used to just flip through it, even when not playing a game contained in its pages. The one that I… Continue reading

2023 – Gaming Year in Review
Because I’m a fierce, independent thinker, I stole today’s blog post idea from Eric Hagmann’s blog (which I recommend checking out and following). This post will take a look at the games I played and (maybe) completed this past year. I may also throw in some thoughts and hopes for 2024, but I’m also really… Continue reading

New Year, New Me…or Something
Happy New Year! I apologize for the pall my absence from the blogosphere may have cast over your holidays. I know that reading my regularly posted nonsense is very important to many of you (clearly, I jest). Given the timing of this post, it could have been on resolutions for 2024, but there’s one issue… Continue reading

Hiatus
So, it appears that my week away from the blog has turned into a few weeks away from the blog. My initial plan was to take a couple of weeks off in November, then fire things back up, which is hilarious given how busy December always is (in a nice way). I’ve decided to step… Continue reading

My Top 8 Games of 1993
Note: 1993 saw the Super NES continue to receive support from both Nintendo and third parties. That said, the NES was still not quite finished, receiving even more games, including one that would become a classic. Meanwhile, 1993 was an oddly quiet year for Sega when it came to blockbuster titles. The titles that did… Continue reading

Ranking the (Movie) Series: Halloween
To finish up this month of horror themed blog posts, it seemed appropriate to step outside my video game comfort zone and rank the movie series that takes its name from today’s holiday. Here is my personal ranking of every movie in the Halloween franchise. 12. Halloween III: Season of the WitchCreated as an attempt… Continue reading
