Many of our cherished computers and consoles from the past have not stood up well over time. It’s not the hardware as much as the color. From Commodores, Apples, to Super Nintendos, the machines have slowly drifted towards a sickly yellow and even brown. The culprit appears to be the fire reta...

This is a video of what the opening sequence of an 8-bit Nintendo Dark Knight game may have looked like. I've heard arguments it's more SNES looking, but whatever, I'm not here to argue, I'm here to pick up vulnerable women. I just ran over your cat, wanna grab some coffee? Youtube Thanks to cool-sl...

Some guy went and made a wallet out of an old SNES game cartridge (that shit better not have been A Link To The Past). The cartridge comes packed with emergency LEDs, videogame sound effects, and enough room to carry cash, cards, keys and a USB memory stick. Granted, it's not the coolest wallet I've...

I’ve been meaning to pose this question for a very long time … as in since I was, hmmm, a little boy. Not that there’s anything wrong with being gay. The question actually comes from the mind of a disturbed lad nicknamed seanbateman42069@yahoo.com on The SHIZZ.org discussion boards...

Before we delve into the backgrounds of Killer Instinct’s cast of characters, I think we should first take a look at a brief background story of the game: Ultratech is a very powerful mega-corporation (entities which, in this future setting, replaced all governments) which organizes a tourname...

If there’s a side-scrolling fighting game that I played more than Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, it’s Killer Instinct, developed by Rare, Midway and Nintendo and released in arcades in 1994. If you’ve played Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, then playing Killer Instinct should b...

I’m really amazed at the amount of fan-made videos on one of video gamedom’s most loved characters. Yes, I’m talking about Mario (”It’s always about Mario,” quipped Luigi in the last video we featured), and this time around, it seems our jumper-clad plumber is the...

And, yes, I owe Aiza over at Gamerlite, one of b5media Video Games Channel’s newest blogs, an apology for not “promoting camaraderie” by answering her tag at the soonest possible time. Well, Aiza, blame it on Bayantel (whose service, sad to say, began to suck deteriorate [again] af...

If you’re a regular visitor of this blog and the rest of the Video Games Channel of b5media, then you probably already know why I’ve been gone for almost a week. If not, well, here’s a short explanation (which I also posted on my other b5media blog, MMOtaku): Whew! What a nasty wee...

With the help of the video in my previous post, I finally completed Bomb Man’s stage in Mega Man, the first game in the series designed for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It took me, what, a few days to get a hang of the controls again and find the best ways to overcome the stage’s o...
