Post for: #retro games ^{(42 Posts)}

I feel like I've been a retro gamer as long as it was even possible to be one. When Super Nintendo was still the biggest thing out there and we were excitedly waiting for Nintendo 64 to drop, I would frequently stop in at my local Funcoland. Their trade-in and used game prices would change every month, and each month they had a newpaper-like print of every game that was available, how much it sold…

This will just be a video dump of the recent Let's Go Retro! episodes as of late. To get in the Christmas spirit I played some Home Alone for SNES (3 parts) and NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhi5yPIjtM&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGsNffWi1fo&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXoKVOCy58&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1UA5f09PLk&w=854&h=480] Then that was followed up with some E.T. on the Atari 2600: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ5A5PqCygU&w=854&h=480] And then finally Battletoads on the NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guk2OoxBFDE&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2uyC0NIH0&w=854&h=480] The new "let's play"-style of videos are certainly much easier and faster to record, so…

A new Let's Go Retro! And I'd have an even NEWER one, if I didn't lose the audio partway through recording...then realize that I'd never hit record for the video. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait for Battletoads another day! For now, enjoy Popeye for NES, an often overlooked classic by Nintendo!

So I decided now that things have settled down a bit, I wanted to get back to making videos with some kind of regularity. While I still have a scripted, longer form Let's Go Retro! episode half-done sitting on my computer, I wanted to try something a bit different and immediate. I tried this once before and the results weren't very good, and in fact I left the remains of the result to sit on…

I've been trying to make regular updates to my YouTube channel lately, so if you're not subscribed to my channel, do so! In the meantime, here's two of the latest video additions. My loose goal will be adding one a week. I've recorded gameplay footage for a new Let's Go Retro video, now I just have to find the time to get it made! New games from PAX East 2012: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmH4XCjAr2E&w=560&h=315] A tour of…

Hey all! Just a small addition to my retro gaming collection this week, but some pretty good ones in my opinion! First off we have yet another X-Men game! I’ve been picking them up left and right lately. But this is one that I did own back in the day, and I remember it being pretty great; X-Men Mutant Apocalypse. This particular X-Men title is made from Capcom, and as you’d expect from them it’s…
