Due to a variety of reasons (most of them boring) it has been a while since I last did a blog post. So I am going to do my best to rectify that now. I am guessing it would have been around 1999 and I had gone over to a friends house (we had been …

Video game Retrosp’egg’tive, The Dizzy Series!
I wasn’t a very modern kid growing up. When my friends were all playing on their Super Nintendos or Sony PlayStations in the 90s, I was still playing on my Gameboy or my parents Amstrad computer. A lot of the titles for the Amstrad and other home computer systems of the time like the ZX …

Video game Retrospectives! The first three Metroid games. NES, Gameboy and SNES!
I like to play retro games as they usually aren't quite so 'heavy' as modern games. They don't demand a huge amount of time or effort to be put into them. You could easily pop Super Mario Bros. on for an hour and a half and finish it. A lot of games from the 8 …

5 Random Video Game action figures!

Memories of Generation 1 Pokémon!
In 1999 I can't really say that as a 9 year old kid that there was really much that I needed back then. If I was to write down a list of necessities in order of importance, it would probably be something like this: 1) Pokémon 2) Oxygen 3) Food and water …
Promotional Mars 1994 Super Mario Bros figures
Remember when you could buy a chocolate bar in the '90s and could get a free Super Mario toy inside the packaging? I sure as hell don't but wish I did. There isn't much information online about these little figures, but I think they were only available in Germany in 1994, …

Video game Retrospectives- Double Dragon!
Gone are the days when men were men and engaged in street fights garbed in monochrome red or blue outfits and fabulous go-go boots. What time it was, the days when it wasn't considered morally wrong to fight your brother to the death for the rights to a woman that you both wanted to bang. …
