Trailer for Telltale Games' New Jurassic Park Game--Coming to PC in April

Telltale Games Has Gone Back to the Future!

While technically not a retro game, Telltale's new adventure game is based on one of the most beloved retro franchises of all time--"Back to the Future."  The developer behind "Sam &Max" and other great adventure games have created a five-episode adventure game that picks up after the events of the third movie.


The story involves Marty going back in time to retrieve Doc Brown after the DeLoran returns to the present with him.  Writer Bob Gale (who co-wrote the trilogy) helped work on the game, and Christopher Lloyd voiced Doc Brown himself!

You can grab the first episode of "Back to the Future" right now over at www.telltalegames.com/bttf.  In the meantime, check out the game's trailer below!

Use your Wiimote on your Computer and Droid

I was looking for a USB NES controller one day and a Facebook friend recommend I try and use my Wiimote as a controller while I waited to purchase a USB version. I did some Google searching and came across PieGlove. It's a simple program that allows you to use your built bluetooth or a dongled to control your Wiimote. It tooke me a few tries but I got it working. If you have trouble at first, try a different version. In Windows 7 64bit I had to use the older version, which was strange.

After successfully getting PieGlove to work, I had a fantastic idea. If someone made PieGlove, then certainly there must be an NES addict out there who made a driver for my Droid X. And I was right! After a quick search in the apps store, I found a WiiMote controller app (Wiimote controller by C.C.P. Crea@ions). I loaded it up and it worked perfectly with NEStoid (which is a GREAT emulator but the on screen controls can be annoying)

Dirt Bike - The Game

Back in college... a "few" years ago, I came across a game called Dirtbike 3D for the PC. It was a downloadible demo which quickly became addictive. I ended up buying a license. I don't remember what the price was, but it was worth every penny. Especially since it allowed online gaming. I'd like to share a link I found to it today: click here

I'm not sure if it falls into our retro category, but I drew my attention, because it gave me a 3D version of "Excite Bike" with some retro flare. You can also mod maps, riders and do insanely silly huge airs. Try it out and let us know what you think.
