More Classic Gaming

Posted by BM5k on April 13, 2008 at 01:12 AM

My $50 gift card for being a sucker HD-DVD early adopter came from Best Buy the other day, and I stopped in this evening to blow it. Being the wonderful husband that I am, I got a pre-paid xbox live card for Shay (who still hasn’t ever gotten around to subscribing herself), and bought some Wii Points.

So far, I’ve only downloaded 2 games from the VC: Paper Mario [N64] and Battle Lode Runner [Turbografx]. I spent my some of my new points on another Turbografx game, Double Dungeons.

I’ve created a simple wishlist of (mostly VC) games on my tadalist page, click here to see for yourself.

Battle Lode Runner:

NES: Solstice

Snagged this game @bookmans today for $8. In the box. With the manual. Not a bad find at all, especially combined with the fist full of NES cartridge sleeves that we scooped out of the free box. I only need 7 more sleeves and all my games will be covered!

Mario Paint FTW

I don’t know what’s worse: that these songs are playable in Mario Paint, or that someone took the time to compose them in Mario Paint. Either way, this is some major geekiness!

Metroid Fan Remake

Someone re-made Metroid II by borrowing graphics from the later GameBoy Advance Games, and re-designing the sprites!

This is beyond kick ass. I give it 22 hours till Nintendo C&D’s this guy out of existence :(
