There are gamers who like old retro games just like alcoholic experts who like old wine. If you are looking for an all-in-one retro games emulator, the Pocket Retro Game Emulator may satisfy your cravings for NES, SNES, GBA, Sega Genesis, or Neo Geo games as it can load any of these roms with ease.

This cute machine has a 4GB built-in storage and a mini SD expansion slot. You can also play movie, audio, picture files and listen to FM radio while on the move. But we think the D-pad and the X, Y, A, B configurable buttons may be …read more

\r\n\r\nSo who hasn\’t heard of The Three Stooges? You know, Larry, Curly and Moe? No? Doesn\’t ring a bell? Well, if you have no inkling who the three are, then you probably don\’t belong to the generation that watched the original black and white series or their voluminous re-runs.\r\n\r\nI watched a few seasons on the boobtube when I was younger, even the ones with Shemp in it. Yep, before Curly, Shemp was the one taking the beating from Moe, and sometimes Larry. Hmmm, before I go on to the gist of the story, let\’s take a closer look at The …read more

Since we’re on the subject of Simon Belmont and Castlevania, I think it proper to reintroduce the game to today’s generation of video game fanatics through a video. This video is actually a collection of Castlevania commercials on the boobtube. Enjoy!

I love this line: Fear has no form. Fear has no name. But now fear has an address … Castlevania!

I’ve played Zoids: Legacy on the Game Boy Advance since its release, and I’ve got to tell you, it never gets old. Why? Well, I don’t really know. Maybe it’s because of Zoids: Legacy being a RPG-type title. There’s a helluva lot of outcomes for different situations the game throws at you in the course of playing it.
My only regret is playing the game over and over again and not buying its sequel, Zoids: Fuzors. Sigh. The Game Boy Advance and the Zoids: Legacy cartridge are long gone from my hands, but I can still relive the game through the …read more

Ever wonder how the modern video game console controller came to be? Well, thanks to the ingenious Sock Master, we now have a pretty good idea. Here’s a little tidbit from his “study” entitled “Sock Master’s Game Console Controller Family Tree”:
How did the current home-console controllers come to be? How have they evolved? You may have noticed some similarities between the current generation controllers, or between them and the previous generations of controllers. So, how do they all tie together?
Let’s try to find out. I’ve put together a chart, or controller family tree, that tries to connect all the current …read more

I’m currently watching a video on the history of video games by YouTube user applemctom, and my wife, Joyce, keeps asking me why I know majority of the games featured in the video. I guess my video games addiction is finally showing, eh? To test my mettle, I tried to list down in order all the games shown in the two-minute footage. Unfortunately, I didn’t get them all. Before I show my list (rather, before you take a look at it), watch the video and try listing down in order all the games that you see. Let’s compare notes later.

Well, …read more

I found this really nick trick for Ken Masters on Street Fighter II for the arcade, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Sega Genesis. It’s called the Touch of Death Combo, and I’ve been trying it out (trying being the operative term). The move actually entails two combos: the first disables an opponent, the second knocks them out. After a few tries on the ol’ SNES, I can say that it’s really effective (at least during those times that I executed the combo correctly).
Here’s how you do it:
First, jump towards your opponent and hit him with a fierce kick attack. As …read more

And, yes, I owe Aiza over at Gamerlite, one of b5media Video Games Channel’s newest blogs, an apology for not “promoting camaraderie” by answering her tag at the soonest possible time. Well, Aiza, blame it on Bayantel (whose service, sad to say, began to suck deteriorate [again] after my supposed speed and bandwidth upgrade—surprise!) and sleepless nights courtesy of leveling multiple characters on Level Up! Games‘ Perfect World and playing different video games on my Atari 2600 and Nintendo Family Computer.
Anyway, without further ado, I present to you dear readers my answers to Aiza’s meme:

Who is Zack Scott and what does he know about Nintendo and video games?
Well, borrowing from what he’s written on the About page of his blog, Zack Scott is a prolific videographer. His collection of videos, which is very extensive, focuses mostly on comedy, education, and (gasp!) his cute pets.
So what does his being a, uhmm, cute pet lover have to do with Nintendo and widely or little known facts about the company? Watch this.

You have no way of knowing this just by viewing the video on Re:Retro, but when you hop over to YouTube and check out the Zack …read more

Did you know that there have been at least 63 video game consoles and personal computers in the past 50 years? Well, I didn’t … honestly. So imagine my surprise when I came across this video:

The author of this mish-mash, however, missed the entire Apple line of personal computers. I owned an Apple IIc, so I know first-hand that a lot of video games can be played on the machine—that is, if any Apple computer is still intact to this day.
