Nintendo.com.au | Find the gold coins hidden in... →

If you live in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, then you have a chance to win copies of Super Mario Bros. Wii, and also cash. All you have to do is find the hidden coins around the CBD of your city mentioned. Sounds like fun if you ask me! Could have been fun to do in Adelaide, at least we get to find remains of the Commander Keen art on walls.

Retrospekt Review: Psycho Fox (SMS)

Review by Mel Portolesi I must admit that when I first came to review this game, I failed to see why I had such fonds memories of it in the first place. That was until I hit stage 2 and enter Skull Land! From here the game picks up its pace a bit. Like many other platformers of its time, the objective of Psycho Fox is to save a world that has been thrown into turmoil by some evil tyrant. ...

Retrospekt Review: Battle Chess (DOS)

Reviewed by David Kudrev I find it quite fitting to review a Chess game on Retrospekt. Why? Well Chess is one of the oldest turn-based strategy titles ever made, like 15th century, and that is pretty retro. Battle Chess which was made by Interplay back in 1988 originally on the Commodore 64, which then followed suit over the years onto the Amiga CDTV/CD32, Apple II, NES, Windows, 3DO, and...

What games music have you had a listen to...

For me it’s been the Chrono Trigger Soundtrack. Composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, who was responsible for music from many titles, including Mario Party 1 & 2, Bomberman 64, Chrono Cross, and Xenogears. Beautiful soundtrack overall! I recommend it to you folks if you appreciate 16bit music best fit for one of the greatest RPG’s of all time!

Retrospekt Review: Ufouria- The Saga (NES)

Ufouria: The Saga (Nintendo Entertainment System) Released 1991 Written by Paul Monopoli I’ve been known in the past to complain about games & systems that Australia never got & how much better the Americans (& the Europeans in some respects) have it than us. Yes I am somewhat of a whinger, but let’s look at the history. When I think of games that never made it to...

What I purchased #1

With the weather exceeding 40 degrees Celcius (105-109 degrees Fahrenheit), and being there at peak time (after school, after work), Marion Shopping Centre was a war zone! I’m luckily an efficient shopper when it comes to shopping centres. I was in and out of that place within 30 minutes pretty much. I only went for 6 reasons. NOTE: I’m well aware that one is definitely not a retro...

A trip down memory lane with … Alex Kidd In Miracle World!
