Retro-bit of the day 052: Zelda 2 The Adventures of Link (FDS)

Here is a little gem that many people did not like. The game in Japan was only released for the Disk System so many gamers would have to get the Disk System add-on to play it. Not much of a loss really as this game can be frustrating and you definitely have guts if you are...

Retro-bit of the day 051: Operation Wolf (FC)

Here is another Famicom title. This one is nothing amazing but still lots of fun to play. The game was also released in the US with the same name. Sometimes it's good for them to have the same name so we don't get surprised when we purchases an import with a totally different...

Here we have a very interesting gadget. It's a flash cartridge for the Famicom. It's definitely something a Famicom fan must have! It's called the Everdrive and it's so worth the 109 dollars it costs. There are a lot of other different carts for different consoles so I suggest...

Retro-bit of the day 049: Mortal Kombat 4 (GBC)
