Retro Game of the Week 044: Tengen Tetris NES

Retro Game of the Week 044 — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 02:44:00 +0000

Yes it's finally back, another retro game of the week entry! Yay...horray....OK..seriously, this week we are going to look at a wonderful game full of magic and adventure aren't most games full of that and then some? And of course tell you why you should check it out. After Gimmick! you had to think of more titles that made the NES a classic and which one made you think of the NES the most? Probably a game that wasn't around for a while, Tengen Tetris. This game is very unique in a couple of ways. This version of Tetris is actually a lot better than the official Nintendo release. The game was only released for a short time so there are fewer copies than the millions of official Tetris copies out there. Did I mention it's two players? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

If you want to play a good Tetris game for your old 8 bit friend then Tengen Tetris FTW! So there is not much to say....there are so many other Tetris games for multiple platforms, it's the phenomenom that will never die but as far as the NES, This is a winner. Cya next week!

Finds 215: Tetrisized finds!!

Finds 215 — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 02:29:00 +0000

After picking up some cards I headed to the Thrift Store with my brother. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a good thing that I decided to check out what they had anyways! Here is what I got today...

Here are the best finds of the day. Got each of them for 1.95 plus tax of course.

Here is the rest of them. It's good that they have fifty percent off certain games.

If you haven't realized yet, that's Tengen Tetris so I'll give you a chance to shit your pants or maybe some other disgusting reaction to a great find har har har...Cya next time!

Ben Gilbert: Lasse Gjertsen's 'Consoul' now available on YouTube

You'll forgive us if we hadn't heard of "Norwegian animator, musician, and videographer" Lasse Gjertsen until this morning -- we're just not that cultured, apparently! Last year, he and his friend Trygve Knudsen made a 8-bit-inspired short film titled "Consoul" no, not that Consoul . But due to YouTube's length constraints at the time it was completed, there was no way for him to release the short on his preferred medium. On July 29, however, YouTube added five minutes to its length limit, making it a full 15.

And just like that -- within two weeks of the new limit -- Gjersten has released Consoul to the public via his YouTube channel, which we've embedded after the break. Hopefully you're sitting down, as you need to be prepared for your mind to be fully blown.

[Thanks, Greatslack]
