Great Scott!

I can officially say that I am just all manner of worked up over this upcoming Back to the Future episodic games by those fine folks over at TellTale Games...and this video just makes the wait for the official trailer of the title on December 2nd all the harder. So please allow me to introduce the voice of Marty McFly for the upcoming games, Mr. AJ LoCasico!

Thanks to LazyGamer.net who say that the game takes place six months after Back to the Future Part III...this is...heavy.

Saturday Supercade!

All manner of awesome artwork this Saturday Supercade! From the WWII inspired propaganda posters, I particularly enjoy the Dig-Dug one, to a Pac-Man chair and Super Mario Bros. table showing 4 stages of the classsic NES game!

Everyone have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

Friday Flyers.

Click the pics to make 1998 size!

I never had the chance to play the Lost in Space pinball game but I sure wish I could have because the flyer makes it look like it was a nice little table. Check out some of the awesome table action thanks to YouTube and the Pinball Wizard!

Now of CarnEvil I can proudly say that I have beaten it, not in an arcade but at a local gas station...on a Halloween night dressed as Ash from the Evil Dead series. I loved this game so much but it sure ate the quarters. Check out the incredibly awesome opening from YouTube!



I'm not quite sure just how much money I've spent playing Monster Bash, I'd probably be too afraid to know the real answer but for many years it was at a local amusement center and I would stop off after work in the afternoon and plug in at least five dollars worth of tokens! Check out this table review by dadofducks from over at YouTube.

It Must Be Thursday.

Getting ever closer to not only Halloween but next Tuesday the 26th when you can download the new Red Dead Redemption DLC, Undead Nightmare, and lay low the walking dead with Holy Water, Zombie Bait, set them on fire, or even better use zombie pieces in your blunderbuss to transform the living impaired to a fine red mist. Yee-haw!

Box Art Wednesday.

Click the pics to make Atari 2600 size!

Intellivision's Astrosmash was reworked for the Atari 2600 and released by Mattel's "M" network as Astroblast. Just like in its original form, Astroblast requires you to control of a laser cannon trying to destroy falling asteroids and other debris.

Spacemaster X-7 is probably based on the sci-fi 1958 movie of the same name, at least I assume it is since 20th Century Fox games released it. In terms of gameplay you are tasked with destroying enemy bases, they are protected by shields that expand and shrink so you need to time your shots well...and not touch the shields.

I haven't been able to really find anything about Sprintmaster other than you compete against the console or other players on a variety of tracks, dirt, pavement, and ice. Barriers also litter the tracks to add difficulty to the gameplay. I was able to find a YouTube video for it at least.

When you are through checking out the above video, make sure to head over to www.Retroist.com to check out all the cool Halloween themed posts that are being made! I believe there is even a game review of John Carpenter's Halloween for the Atari 2600.

Mega Man Meet Lego.

Thanks to the awesome talents of Raphael Phillips we can now see what Mega Man Lego figures would look like...if the world were more perfect. A big thanks to the 8-Bit Cubist for the heads up and the photos you see above.

When you are through wishing you too lived in this world where Lego Mega Man figures were stocked on toy shelves make sure that you hop over to Retroist.com for all manner of awesome Halloween fun.

Thanks NES For All The Memories!

Closing out this 25th B-Day celebration for the NES we have Mega Man 2, Spy Hunter, Punch-Out and at the top a River City Ransom Mod. I think the Spy Hunter, Mega Man 2, and River City Ransom artwork are particularly awesome. Thanks to Joystiq once again for the images seen posted above...and no matter how you celebrated the Nintendo Entertainment System's 25th birthday I very much hope you enjoyed it.
