Gamer’s University – Updated Mondays (at least)

Archive for the ‘Classic Gaming’ category

Gooooood evening everybody, or good morning I suppose, since most of you will be reading this on Tuesday morning…
It’s been a while since I posted about Nintendo8, a site where you can play NES games (among other systems) in your browser using a simple Java applet, but I’ve recently found something even better.
There are a [...]

Surprisingly, a lot of people will pine for games of years past and assume that just because they are no longer available at retail that they are essentially gone forever or doomed to the price-gougers of the secondary market. This is not necessarily true, many developers and publishers will release their old products as Abandonware [...]

Happy hangover day, hope everyone had a fun 4th of July and didn’t burn anything down.
This is a little old, but they truly are terrible. It’s nice to see how far we’ve come since the minimum-wage voice acting of the PSX era. Even today’s worst games are usually better than these (exceptions of course for [...]

[Retro Review] Crystalis

June 28th, 2010

When I was but a wee lad, sometime in the early 90’s there was a new store that opened up in my hometown called Phar-Mor.

Anyone remember what the best game ever made for the SNES was?

Saving the princess is a pain in the ass.

Ever wonder what it would be like if MegaMan were stuck in Mario’s world? How about Samus, or Link?

This is a perfectly recreated version of Super Mario Bros, [...]

Everything on this guy’s channel is pretty funny, but this one got me going the best. It’s short and sweet (that’s what she said)
Enjoy

Diablo 2! Remember that game?
The ladder was supposed to reset annually, and allegedly this one is 11 months late, but it’s happening. Tomorrow, all ladder characters will be moved to non-ladder and the ladder will be reset.
This may not be interesting to a lot of you, but for someone like me who lost ages [...]

I think I’ve finally come to a decision on the Tube-Tuesday thing. It’s a stupid name and I don’t like it. I’m going to use Mondays to post the videos I find and spend my time on longer, more content-heavy posts for Tuesdays or later in the week, as to call more attention to them.
