Retro-bit of the day 127: Castle of Deceit (NES)

Here is a really kewl game for the NES. It's very sought after and it's in a really kewl light blue cart! If you can't tell, this game is unlicensed! The game Castle of Deceit is one of the harder to find NES unlicensed games. The game is average but it's still worth a try....

Finds 516: Mario Games, Pokemon Imports, and Then Some!

I went to the thrift store and didn't expected much to find much. In fact, I was just going to get me a couple of PS2 controllers for my friend but ended up finding more than I could imagine. I finally got a copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii for a decent price (five...

Finds 515: More Pocket Monsters Pirates! PokePirates!

Just when you thought I was done with these games, I get another lot of them. All of these will be up for sale to some pokemaniac out there. They are definitely obscure so it will make a good addition to your collection, don't ya agree?  Pocket Monster 1 (FC) x2...

Retro Gaming News 193: KingMike updates two old translations

"KingMike has released an updated translation patch for Magna Braban for the SNES. While the old 06/06/06 06:06 patch has some sentimental value, this new version should be compatible with accurate emulators. This translation might’ve kept Gideon’s original DTE routine,...

Finds 514: Slim Pickings...SNES SN Programmable Joystick, Phix, Mario Sunshine, and Others

Retro-bit of the day 122: The Lost World Jurassic Park (Saturn)

Here is the game based on the movie! This is a pretty awesome cover art but the game itself is so-so. I think the Playstation release was better somewhat. Nevertheless, Saturn stuff is pretty hard to come by. ...

CIB Sunday 005: Star Force (NES)

Sega Saturday 004: Game Genia (Genesis)

So this is my Sega Saturday showcase. The Game Genie is a very useful device. Not only is it good for cheating, but you can try games such as pirates and imports by using it as a converter since the carts are too wide for the Genesis slot. Keep that in mind ^_^ ...

Here is another game I think everyone should try to find. Of course, it's a little tough to find it nowadays but you never know. This is The Legend of Zelda A link to the past for the Famicom. Yeah, the Chinese developers were savvy enough to bring a port even though it's...

Retro-bit of the day 119: Xenogears (PS1)

This game is quite good and pricey. I couldn't believe it! Definitely stuff by Squaresoft is quite good unlike most of the stuff released by them nowadays. Not to bash on them, but I think it was better when they had Enix as a rival. Anyways, this is an RPG with some ingenious...

Retro-bit of the day 118: Sweet Home (FC)

Here is a classic game for the Famicom. The game is called Sweet Home and it's definitely a good game to play through. If you don't want to deal with the Japanese text, be sure to pick up a reproduction cartridge which comes with the game translated. Capcom did an amazing...
