I mean unless there's gonna be an intergalactic Olympics going down in the year couple of years its very unnecessary. But I'm back and ready to get to the retro issues once again.Richy Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001099898031332724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676797260827815245.post-60517654085723927632009-06-23T15:15:00.002-06:002009-06-23T15:19:54.305-06:00The Glory Days!!The road to greatness has always been a road travelled by these Gods of retro gaming and current gaming. The journey started in 1989 with the single greatest console of the day, the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)<br />This system was the best, the lineup of games that were available for this system was nuts, everything from the classic mario to zelda to punch out, the list goes on and on, remember having to blow inside the cartridge to make the game work hahahahah those were classic memories. The popularity of this system was through the roof, anyone remember that movie "The Wizard" This was nothing more then a long Nintendo commerical but it wasn't all bad, this movie showed people how to find the flute that takes you to the warp zone.The next console in all it glory is......the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) There's literally nothing bad you could say about this system, til this day I still have mine hooked up to the tv and game on it when i'm bored, remember when they released super mario world 2: Yoshi's Island, This game was just too cool for words, they had thing in the backdrop falling on you, monsters in the background jumping out at you, classic boss battles, like the jello dude that you gotta throw eggs at his heart (Oh, that takes me back) Remember when the console wars started between SEGA and Nintendo??? It's safe to say Nintendo won that war, I mean come on, Sonic vs Mario?? Mario was way cooler, he's a plumber whose a hero on the side with his brother for a sidekick and dinosaur for a pet, Sure beats a stupid blue hedgehog anyday. Shall we move on to the N64 (Nintendo 64) or as it was originally called the Ultra64, The ultra 64 sounds way more badass, shame they had to change the name. But anywho remember the sick graphics on this system and the introduction of some pretty wicked game series like Super Smash Bros, That was epic. Goldeneye, Killer Instinct Gold, Zelda, Clay Fighter, StarFox 64, Super Mario64, Donkey Kong64 (it's funny how they just added 64 at the end of the titles, great originality there Nintendo haha) these are just some of great titles on this system. I think I'll stop at the N64 before my head explodes due to nostalgia overflow.Richy Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001099898031332724noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676797260827815245.post-84506152737316331512009-06-23T13:57:00.002-06:002009-06-23T14:01:44.498-06:00RetroJunk.comCheck out this sick site for all your retro needs and make sure to check out some of my posts and forum topics just look for Homeboyrich<br /><a href="http://www.retrojunk.com/">www.Retrojunk.com</a>Richy Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001099898031332724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676797260827815245.post-23087644721527043772009-06-07T15:42:00.002-06:002009-06-07T15:50:01.610-06:00NINTENDO POWER!!!!Way before we had Internet and strategy guides the only way to get all our gaming info was through Nintendo Power. This magazine changed the way we looked at games in general, Lord knows if it wasn't for this magazine and that Fred Savage movie "The Wizard" none of us would have known where to get the flute in "Super Mario Bros 3." So today we stand and salute this great magazine that changed the way Nintendo was seen through the eyes of young gamers and teens from the late 80's and through the 90's.

Two greats minds came together to make one of the greatest movie trilogy's of all time, and these minds were George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, By this time you guys should know the movie by now, if not it's................(Drum roll Please) "Raiders of The Lost Ark". To all those who have seen this great adventure movie about a man named Indiana Jones and his quest to find one of the greatest treasures in history, You know how radical this movie was, and to those who haven't seen it (shame, SHAME) Just kidding, run into your local video store, rent it or buy it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this pick, while your there you should also rent the Temple of Doom and Last Crusade as well. This movie has my seal of approval. ENJOY THE MOVIE<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1YXw7BxYGMU&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1YXw7BxYGMU&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Richy Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001099898031332724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676797260827815245.post-2747052967720440012009-05-15T13:12:00.002-06:002009-05-15T13:15:38.106-06:00Shout Out To YYC BlogsTo all who don't know what yyc blog is, its a blogsite that helps connect people to different blogs tha might interest them as well as spread news of cool things happening in upcoming months.

Each company had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">remember able</span> mascots that would give you a reason to play some of their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">exclusive</span> title releases, Nintendo had their classic mascot Mario aka Super Mario, (To any who didn't know this, SHAME, SHAME) and then their was Sega who had their little blue speed demon known as Sonic the hedgehog. Through many online surveys given, a majority of people <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">preferred</span> the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Snes</span> over the Sega, I mean its not hard to see why the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Snes</span> had some pretty insane series of games, the list goes from the Super Mario series to the Zelda series, but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">don't</span> get me wrong the Sega had some rad <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">exclusive</span> titles, from Sonic the hedgehog to Mortal <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Kombat</span>.

There's the nerd, the jock, the princess, the bad boy, and the basket case, on a regular school day none of these students would be caught dead speaking to one another but through out the movie they realize that they have more in common then they think and that their lives aren't so easy as it may seem. Alot of mischief goes down as the day goes on. Pure 80s classic at his best, Rent it, Buy it, Tivo it, Do whatever but I recommend you watch itRichy Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001099898031332724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4676797260827815245.post-89972883880121096622009-04-22T01:41:00.003-06:002009-04-22T01:49:34.300-06:00Video Home System<a href="http://www.tape.com/images/items/1VT001BHC.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 252px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.tape.com/images/items/1VT001BHC.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I don't even have to justify this picture with a response, We all have them still kicking around the house, maybe in a box in the basement or in your Hi-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Fi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">VCRs</span>. as a matter of fact, I spent most of my weekend watching <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">TMNT</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">TMNT</span> 2:Secret of the ooze, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">that's</span> right they still exist in all of us.

Sadly to say, Wes Craven will not be directing this film instead Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form will be over seeing the production (Don't worry they wont stray too far from the 1984 version, I hope) and they have also announced that Robert Englund will not be playing the role of Freddy Kruger instead he will be replaced by Jackie Earle Haley (The guy who played Rorschach on Watchmen) I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty pumped to see Freddy on the big screen, it's been awhile since we feared to go to sleep. </div><br /><br /><div>1,2 Freddy's coming for you </div><br /><br /><div>3,4, better lock the door</div><br /><br /><div>5,6 grab your crucifix</div><br /><br /><div>7,8, stay up late</div><br /><br /><div>9, 10 never sleep again.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>Richy Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16001099898031332724noreply@blogger.com0
