What’s up with terrible movies that spawned from awesome video games? M1GO reminisces… If you’re a true OG (Original Gamervet), you’ll probably recall getting very excited for Super Mario Brothers: The Movie.  Hell, I was so excited that I even cut out the ad from one of my video game magazines and used it in [...]

As some of you may know, I don’t play a whole lot of PC games much anymore.  Now I tend to prefer sitting and gaming on the couch in a more relaxed position. I also got tired of having to constantly configure and upgrade my computer with the latest and greatest hardware to keep up [...]

I am moving into a new house soon so the inevitable clean up of my old place is happening as we speak. It’s time to throw out the old junk that’s been piling up over the years.  I was cleaning out the storage locker the other day and look what I found –  A big box of [...]

Remember back in the day before there were any video game shows? In those days, we used to walk ten miles uphill (both ways!) in -20 degree snowstorms just to get to the nearest crappy CompuCentre store to browse video games. In those days, the internet was just a secret technology used by the American [...]

Has there ever been a game where your main objective would stare at a series of pictures for hours? Enter the classic 1993 game, Myst. For some reason, this game owned me back in high school.

This was our family’s first console.  We actually had a Coleco Telstar before this, but I don’t think we really played it so I’m not counting it!  When I started gaming it was on Intellivision.  Telstar was already packed up in its box and shoved in a closet. It may be old.  It may be [...]

Ask me to name the most memorable video game I’ve played and I’ll probably follow my answer with, “Remember ‘up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a’?”. To those who haven’t clued in to the title of this post or the hint I gave above, that game is Contra, Konami’s side-scrolling action shooter [...]

For more of my History of Sports posts, check out my Baseball (part 1), Baseball (part 2), Baseball (part 3) and my Hockey gaming. It’s part three gamers!  My final post about baseball wares. I’ve got PS1 and PS2 to nag about, but what about 360? Sorry. 2k baseball is complete shit. Reviews say so, [...]

For more of my History of Sports posts, check out my Baseball (part 1), Baseball (part 2), Baseball (part 3) and my Hockey gaming. Here’s part two folks. Part one of my baseball gaming was a few days ago, but being bogged down at work, I was busy. Yeah right, I was just lazy! Okay, [...]

For more of my History of Sports posts, check out my Baseball (part 1), Baseball (part 2), Baseball (part 3) and my Hockey gaming. A few days ago, I posted My History of Videogame Hockey. I played good games, so-so games and outright trash. As Butthead said in one episode “Fecal Matter. Huh-huh-huh”. Now it’s [...]
