How’s that for a headline? Eat your heart out, Gawker. This is bar none the strangest thing that I have ever written on this site. The Super Mario presentation storyboard that you see pictured above may appear innocent looking enough, but wait until you hear about the simulated self-mutilation and the computer-generated demonic possession. Those with a weak […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today I come bearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters Super Nintendo sample, the latest conquest in my psychopathic mission to gain Turtle Power. This marks the seventh Ninja Turtles pre-release video game that I’ve featured here on the site. Don’t get too excited because this one turned out to be a dud. But as they say, the journey is more important […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
How’s this for a coincidence: I chanced upon a poorly listed auction and took home an original model miniature that was made by the developers of the Philips CD-i game Zelda’s Adventure. Just days later, news broke about another incredibly rare relic from this era, the “Nintendo Play Station,” discovered outside of Philadelphia, in Bucks County, only a minute’s drive away from me.

I never thought that I’d ever have to say this about a prototype, but this Daikatana Game Boy Color development cartridge, which came directly from DOOM designer John Romero, has too many differences.

See the article for the download and learn the scandalous story behind this unofficial […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
To find out what these three have in common, check out today’s article, which takes a look at some hand-painted McDonald’s illustrations that were recently unearthed at an Illinois estate sale.
The industrious and accomplished comic artist Dan Spiegle, who drew the later Nester’s Adventures strips in Nintendo Power–as well as many movie, television, and literary adaptations in an Inkpot Award-winning career–died on January 28, 2017 at the age of 96. To commemorate his passing, I looked back at Nintendo’s once mighty official North American magazine and examined one of Spiegle’s original […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I can still remember shuffling out of the theater doors on Memorial Day weekend in 1993, a sweating Yoshi Slurpee in one hand, a clenched ERTL Goomba action figure in the other. The projectionist could have shown a Buñuel art house film–with wild ostriches poking their heads in and out of frame, with bottomless dinner guests […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
By my count, this plucky little site has digitally archived, documented, and made public more than 70 pre-release (or never released) vintage video games–that includes all of the ones that have come into my hands, and others that were charitably donated by passionate folks around the country. From building blocks to bingo brunches, playing is an inherently […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
