Cabbage Patch Kids Atari Box

CPUwiz, over at Atari Age made up this box for his copy of Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park. A very well done piece!

Warhammer: Age of Reckoning Launches

The Mythic follow-up to Dark Age of Camelot launched today. Warhammer, Age of Reckoning is a hoot. I’ve been playing for a few weeks now, and I have to say that I’m plesently surprised. The game is a lot of fun, for an MMO. The emphasis is on team work, and large battles between opposite [...]

Who Knew Mega Man 3 Had Lyrics?

insertcredit.com Is Still Radical Ninja

If ever there were a site deserving of my favorite approbatory “Radical Ninja,” it were insertcredit.com. Today, Brandon broke a Brazilian story about a new stand-alone console for that country.

Box of Carts from Laney Swap Meet

Speed Runs of Fury

Great for ambiance, though. Anyhoo, I thought I post up a few well done runs. First, no death Contra run [...]

What Electronic Arts Did Wrong

I’m just back from EA’s Spring Break event, at the Supper Club in SF. The first thing I thought when I got home was to write up a quick synopsis of what the world’s largest game company did wrong at this massive press event. Bringing ya’ll up to speed: E3, the consumer oriented game conference, [...]
