Sony Playstation Outage Means Retro Game Time

After DAYS of the Playstation Network being down, it's time to bust out my game retro consoles. Thankfully I recently received a SEGA Genesis recently and I've started with Sonic the Hedgehog and worked my way up to my TNN Bass Tournament. I may also bust out some Odd World from my PS3 downloads. Hopefully Sony will get on the ball and get the network running. But until then! Playstation will have me playing SEGA! SEEEEEEEEGAH!

It's a SEGA Genesis Easter

This year Easter was a little more like Christmas for this retro gamer. When I got to my parents house my Uncle popped this puppy out of his trunk. Yes, that's a Sega Genesis Core System 2 in box!!! He also handed me a bag full of games: 

TNN Outdoors Bass Tournament '96

Jurassic Park

Sonic 3D Blast

Mortal Kombat II

Cleaning Kit

Wheel of Fortune

PGA European Tour

Sonic the Hedgehog

I couldn't ask for a more amazing gift this Easter. Well, maybe a powerglove, but really, my Sega Genesis 1 (Original Model) Console Systemhas been out of commission for a long time with a busted controller input. I'm very happy to have this back in my collection. Now I can hook my Sega CD System - Video Game Console back up and play some Night Trap. Aw yeah!

Ms. Pacman Upright Lisbon CT

At the O'Neil movie theatre at Lisbon Landing, CT. Hello retro. Also, the had a nice note that had a code to change Ms. Pacman to Pacman! If I remember correctly, UP UP UP DOWN DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT (wait for pacman to turn pink) Then hit start. Cool right? May work on all the combo machines.

Playing Galaga on my Motorolla Droid

I was just sitting around trying to decide what to do and decided to fire up Galaga on my Motorola DROID X Android Phone using Nestoid. If you haven't tried out Nestoid on the Droid I highly recommend it. Unfortunately it is not available on the iPhone. If it were available I'd be playing some online NES action with Brian. We'll figure out something one of these days. I'm dying to play Double Dragon with him via the internet. I think I'm going to have to figure out a way to do that.

Retro Gaming Yardsale Adventures

It's that time of year again. We're getting deep into spring, the weather is nice and we've got a tiny bit of cash in our pockets. So we'll be on the hunt for gaming consoles. GAMES GAMES GAMES at deep dish discounts. Parents unloading kids electronics and kids who want to buy their next system and will sell me electronics super cheap. What will our finds be? Who knows! We'll be breaking out some serious fleamarket and tag sale stories in the upcoming episodes. Deals we got and deals we lost.

The top consoles on my list this year will be a Coleco Vision, Commodore 64c, Atari 2600 - Video Game Console, Atari 5200 - Video Game Console (System), Nintendo Virtual Boy - Video Game Console and some random handhelds. I'll also need new games for my new GBA as well as other consoles sitting in my collection.

If you are out and about and see crazy finds. Even if you don't buy them, share you story in the comments, on the forum or snap a pict with your phone and shoot us an email.

Retro Mint Box Storing Erasers

I bought these mints a long time ago just to get this awesome tin. The Nintendo Store in NYC has all sorts of cool items like this! I now usr it to store my awesome erasers. It is a head turner.

Neo Geo Handheld

16bits of glory! It's bad enough I didn't hav a NeoGeo as a child, but I didn't have the hand-held either. "The hand-held?" you say? That's right! I'm going to be on the look out for the hand-held version of this at the fleamarkets and tag sales. I'm dying to get my hands on the console or this portable beauty. A larger display than the GB AND 16bits of color!? How can you beat that? Well. With Mario, that's how. Chime in here or drop us a note in the forum and let us know if you had one, have one or want one.
