April 4, 2013 Today the movie industry is at a loss with the passing of Roger Ebert. A movie can make or lose a million dollars all in the power of his thumb, but he also used his thumb playing video games, apparently. In this Holiday Gift Guide from 1989, Ebert admits that he was obsessed with playing TMNT to the point that it made him unhappy.
January 24, 2013 My buddy, NightOwlJRM, decided to blow the dust off Monster Party for the old Nintendo (NES). Looking to get some replay out of your old Nintendo games or want to experience new games you may have missed, you'll definitely want to check out this bizarre classic.
Did you play this?
January 3, 2013 My family life aside, here's what you need to know about my hobbies - I love video games, I love Craigslist and I love it when new stores comes to Yakima - especially when they're locally owned an operated. You can imagine my sheer joy when I found out that Yakima will be getting a store that buys, sells and trades video games from all systems from Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 all the way back through Nintendo 64, Genesis and the 8-bit NES.
January 1, 2013 People have their goals set for 2013. They want to lose weight or finish a project around the house they never finished - stuff like that. The good people at NintendoAge have a goal in place for their community; collectively beat every Nintendo game in 2013. You can help!
Basically,
October 22, 2012 Over the weekend, it was my pleasure to play a bunch of video games. Extra Life is an annual fundraiser where we look for donations while upholding our end, playing video games for 24-hours non-stop.
September 6, 2012 As you're probably well aware, I collect old video game systems and games, especially for the old 8-bit Nintendo (NES). Looking at a pricing guide, I found out that several games have gone up in price dramatically now that retro gaming is becoming kind of popular. Much like the guy on Hollywood Collector can assess how much your movie props are worth, I can tell you how much video game stuff is worth to a collector. If you happen to have some old NES games laying around in a box somewhere in the attic or have some stashed away that you were just planning on putting in a yard sale, see if you have any of these. Putting them on eBay (or, better yet, selling them to me directly) can bring in more than just a buck or two.
August 27, 2012 Out of all the game systems I have, out of all of them I will ever get in the future, the original 8-bit Nintendo, or NES, will always be my favorite system of all time. It was just about perfect in my eyes. Many of the most popular games of all time came from Nintendo like the Mega Man series, Castlevania and more. But, certainly, with all of those Nintendo games through the years, chances are you probably passed on several of them. Not I, I played anything and everything I could get my hands on. Looking through my pile of NES games, I grabbed my 10 favorite games that you may or may not have played.

July 23, 2012 Hello, My name is Riggs and I'm a retro video game collector. "Hi, Riggs." I love checking out yard sales, craigslist and stores like Ron's, Goodwill and Value Village. I rarely buy things from there, but you never know if you'll find that super "find" as I did just the other day.
June 12, 2012 No matter how good you are, no matter how much of a 'pro' you're heralded as, there are those moments in video games that make you want to rage-quit, throw your controller across the room and slam your head in the freezer. Here are 10 specific instances that has happened to everyone.
June 9, 2012 No game has a stage more frustrating than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES. What makes the second half of the second stage so frustrating? First of all, you're swimming underwater so you have weird, not very responsive player control
June 9, 2012 Quick Man is definitely one of the coolest villains in the Mega Man series, and his stage certainly has a rockin' tune, but one part of his stage we can do without are the one-hit-killed gigantic lasers that appear twice in this stage
