Retro game collecting has been absolutely bonky-bonks since the pandemic. Prices went insane when American millennials were suddenly stuck at home with more free time than we knew what to do with. And a lot of us were spending way more time with our children than ever before. If you were born in the 80s, the pandemic likely coincided with a time when your children were right around the same age you were when video games—especially Nintendo’s NES and SNES (and, one assumes, Sega consoles as well. But I’m not an authority on those)—were entertainment staples in pretty much every kid’s life.  ..read more

NES Games almost every 80s kid played

I’ve written a lot about the best NES games, the hardest NES games, the most quintessential NES games… Nintendo’s NES was—and still is—my favorite gaming console. So I write about it often! But since starting my eBay store, I’ve noticed certain games that pop up again and again.  These are typically cheap games and surprisingly few are the long-lasting legacy games you probably think of right away. Honestly I was kind of surprised by how often these games get bought and sold on eBay. They’re the games that are almost impossible to keep in stock, even though they are bulk commons. Kinda bl ..read more

Unexpected, Bizarre, & Oddball Ports for the Classic Gameboy

With a decade-long lifespan and immense library, the Gameboy has proven itself the ultimate underdog. Debuting in 1989, the handheld system was designed to be inexpensive. Bells and whistles like a backlight or color screen were cut to make room for battery life and an appealing price tag. That same hardware would go on to host hundreds of titles. Visionary Gunpei Yokoi began his Nintendo career as a toymaker, but ended it as a legend. To this very day, many gamers name Gameboy as their favorite system,  hardware limitations be damned. And they’ve got an incredible catalogue to back up th ..read more

Criminally Underrated Roguelikes on PS4
Ghetto Gamer

Roguelikes are enjoying a surge in popularity, and it isn’t hard to see why. Instead of leaning heavily on over-the-top visuals, dazzling cutscenes, elaborate plotlines, and complicated mechanics, roguelikes keep it simple and rely solely on the gameplay. You might get a brief tutorial before they launch you into the central gameplay loop, but usually you kick things off and the game unapologetically whips you into shape through trial and error. It’s this trial by fire approach that makes victory so incredibly rewarding. What is a roguelike? So what makes a game a “roguelike” or “roguelite?” H ..read more

Multiplayer leveled up big time when the N64 dropped.

It was time to grab the Pepsi Blue and pour a bowl of Doritos 3D for some sweet four-player multiplayer action. Here are our picks for the top 10 multiplayer games on the N64 to help you get your next retro gaming night right. Editor: This post contains affiliate links.

Retro Gaming in 2022 is a Joke

If getting older has taught me anything, it’s that everything changes. That includes not only the hair on my head, but the hair on my body. Who would have thought that while I lose the precious locks from my scalp, I can also grow a whole new goatee in my pants? Oh, and also: Retro game prices have gone through the roof and retro game sellers are completely nuts. Almost forgot to mention that. Distracted by my body hair, I suppose. Retro Game Prices May Have Peaked But seriously, if you had started collecting retro games a decade ago, it was a free-for-all. And by that I mean the games were al ..read more

Top Ten PlayStation Studios

In terms of consoles like the Switch, PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, the debate of which company reigns supreme will likely come to an end only if one of the three primary publishers happens to go under. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have been the three publishing powerhouses of the video game industry for two decades now, butting heads re: software sales, hardware performance, and so, so much more. And while each fan will likely die with their chosen console, physically buried with it laying across their chest under six feet of dirt, I would argue that no company has a more reliable roster of int ..read more
