This news is not game related, however cartoons were a big part of my weekend as a child, as most were during the early 90s.

Once again visiting the 32-bit era of gaming when Sony, Sega and Nintendo were the main competitors in the home console market, we see newest and biggest threat to both Sega and Nintendo trying to make a place for themselves. At the time, video mascots were hard to forge, let alone brand with consumers. Though […]
This week is a video from Nintendo Power. It’s about a ten minute long promotion that details Star Fox 64 and the N64 Rumble Pak. It was made back in the 90s when Sony, Sega and Nintendo were going head-to-head-to-head, so you can probably guess Nintendo looks superior over the other represented companies. Who is […]
Levels! Episode 1: First Levels and Fanfares I’m trying to start a short video series comprised of what I think the best themed levels are. To begin I have compiled the best first levels/dungeons/instances that start games. Also included are the victory themes and fanfares when each of the levels are completed. Enjoy!
