Ads from the past 406: Famicom 3D Glasses

So the 3D Glasses were supposed to work with some games for the Disk System. It was a pretty cool peripheral but it felt flat and was only compatible with a few games. I say it's still a very interesting and ground breaking accessory. I would've bought one back in the day....I...

Ads from the past 405: Rockman

The first entry of this amazing series was released on the Famicom. Rockman was just a platformer with a nice set of levels and addictive gameplay. I can say I've beaten this game, and believe me, it's not that easy. ...

Finds 1102: Rastan Saga 2 for PC Engine

The second game in these series that sadly wasn't as good as you would expect. It's still good enough to get a physical version of the game instead of playing it on an emulator. Play it on emulator and be the judge. ...

Ads from the past 404: Famicom Classics

Finds 1100: Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and Terraria !

Kingdom Hearts just needs to come out with their damn part 3 of the series. It's insane they are re-re-releasing all their games in compilation to try to make people wait longer. It's a horrible practice.... Also, Terraria is an interesting game. It's like minecraft but in...

Famicom Blues Part I : The reason I game

So let me start by saying that I didn't have much knowledge about the Famicom until years later after I started collecting. If my memory serves right, it must have been around the holiday season of 2004 in which I decided to buy a lot I had my eyes on eBay. I was so curious...
