You walk into an arcade. Whether you just finished playing miniature golf, swinging a bat in the batting cages, or just decided to make your way to one of the few remaining standalone arcades hidden in some random downtown nook, it doesn't matter. You are in an arcade and you are happy. As you walk around on the gaudy, gloriously retro carpet, the smell of lukewarm pizza and burnt popcorn fills the air. The light of a claw machine reflects off the side of an unpolished token dispenser. Kids run past you, waving long trails of red tickets in their ... [Link] [Cache]

Hey everyone -- unfortunately, there's not much to talk about for this episode's blog post. The attentive out there may notice that this week's topic bears a striking resemblance to last week's; my friends, this is no coincidence. Previously, I've paired up a standard and call-in episode on the exact same subject, and the results were described by many as "pleasing." That said, I plan to immediately wash my hands of this new strategy for the time being by offering up yet another call-in episode next week, followed by an entire month of extra-special episodes centered around a never-before-heard on ...

These news took me by surprise especially with such upcoming competition of the PS-Vita and the current 3DS. I'm willing to pick one up at the right price though."SNK Playmore is set to re-enter the hand held console market, debuting the Neo-Geo PSP look alike which comes with some classic games already pre-loaded. The original Neo-Geo Pocket, released in 1999, was perhaps the most successful of Neo Geo hardware and this new edition is set to be a re-imagining of that famous edition. While there aren't many competitors to go up against, the ones that are there - every edition ... [Link] [Cache]

And here we have the pic of this week is also dedicated to the TMNT action figures! I just can't get enough of them and neither can you! Admit it! Here is Don kicking some ass! [Link] [Cache]

One of the weirdest things to happen with a video game handheld or console ever just happened the other day. So I was talking to my roomate and then all of the sudden I hear the TMNT theme song playing and I'm like "Oh that's a nice ringtone" and she was like "WTF you talking about?" So after looking around where it was coming from, we saw the handheld playing it. The thing is that the batteries were totally dead so how can it be playing?? Worst of all, I tried to shut it off but there was nothing on ... [Link] [Cache]

Renegade Kid does not give up easily. The developer's latest title, Mutant Mudds, had a long, rough journey, first as a polygonal third-person shooter for the DS that never found a publisher and then as a DSiWare hopeful that likewise never garnered enough support. Only when Renegade Kid returned to the drawing board and remade Mutant Mudds as a basic 2D platformer for the eShop did the game get greenlit. When I say "basic," I mean basic. It is not innovative at all. The hero is not gaming's next major icon. His weapon couldn't be any more utilitarian. The platforming ... [Link] [Cache]

Elsewhere on the web PCMag , I've got a slideshow up that celebrates educational computer games of the 1980s.

If you've read this blog for some time, you'll know that I'm a big fan of shareware games. Specifically, I love shareware from the "golden age of PC shareware," an era I just made up that roughly spanned 1988-1996. And by "PC shareware," in this case, I mean IBM PC compatible. I was not [...] [Link] [Cache]

Ladies and gentlemen, I got an iPhone this Christmas! I am no longer living in the 20th century! I've been checking out apps I've had my eye on as well as little surprises that have been suggested to me. So far, I've been enjoying the pick-up-and-play nature of mobile games, quickly restocking my stores in Tiny Tower while waiting at red lights, and whatnot. The next logical step was to review an iOS game. I offered to give Curio a spin because it seemed like a deliciously unsettling auto-scrolling runner with a twisted art style. It turned out to be ...

It's been a while since our last call-in episode, hasn't it? My apologies if you missed the format; many have written in asking for the whole "Live" part of Retronauts Live to make a comeback. So here we are: I'm going to try to make an attempt to slot our call-in installments back into a more regular rotation, in the hopes that we can get a standard and listener-based episode out of a single subject. That said, next week's episode of Retronauts will be an extension of our lost Sega franchises discussion, except you can directly inform us of our ... [Link] [Cache]
