Before Sudoku was rocking the world there was Picross. Gamers that took on the challenge of Mario’s Picross, the only official release of this series in North America at least for the Game Boy, were treated to an interesting number puzzle game. The concept is pretty simple here- simply use the numbers across the top […]

Game Hack: Super Mario Bros 64 DS Becomes Sunshine 64 DS
February 6th, 2015
Carl Williams The Super Mario Bros franchise has been a hit for Nintendo, which is a fact. There is no doubting that Nintendo’s overall success has been greatly influenced by their little Italian plumber. Even though Mario is huge for Nintendo, that doesn’t mean that his exploits always reach the platform that fans would like them to. […]
Hardware: Create Your Own Retrogaming Hand Held Device
January 28th, 2015
Carl Williams Who reading this has ever wanted to create their very own, personalized, gaming device? Depending on how much help you are willing to accept, it can happen right now.

New Game: Snake Comes to the Sony PocketStation
January 25th, 2015
Carl Williams Ah, the PocketStation from Sony, a device that never came to North America, at least officially. Sure, you could import this little device but it was prohibitively expensive and there were precious few games that made the leap across the pond with their PocketStation content intact. Homebrew developers are a wild bunch, they just won’t […]

Leery Licensing: Marlboro Licensed Atari Lynx, Plus Prototype Game
November 20th, 2014
Carl Williams Atari was not scared to get out there and try weird things, like trying to convince gamers that the Jaguar was actually a 64-Bit console. Anyhow, Atari was at least trying (Sega, I am looking your way concerning the Dreamcast). Atari’s only hand held, the Lynx, was a decently popular device though it was, unfortunately, […]
Ebay: Atari Lynx Driving School Educational Release Up For Auction
July 27th, 2014
Carl Williams Okay, in the United States, and most of the rest of the world, the Atari Lynx was pretty much a commercial failure. While an interesting portable, it really had no chance against the cheaper Game Boy, even though that Nintendo hand held didn’t even have a color screen and the screen blurred whenever you simply […]
Hardware Hack: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom Themed Game Boy Advance Portables
July 6th, 2014
Carl Williams The Game Boy Advance, no matter if you are a fan of Nintendo or not, is obviously a seminal portable platform. Some would argue the GBA is the last “retro” portable to be released, probably thanks in large part to the library that was released for this Nintendo hand held. Thanks to Rose Colored Gaming […]
Got An iPad or iPhone and Love Nintendo?
July 1st, 2014
Carl Williams Following up the success of the recent game collection apps article on Android devices, I thought it would be a good idea to listen the feedback from readers across the Internet and do a Nintendo centric version of the article. Here I have collected several Apps off of iTunes that cater to a different Nintendo […]
