Today, I heard the Super Mario theme song coming from my parents room. This was followed by the sound of my parents having sex. I don’t know which is worse, that I heard my parents doing the nasty, or that they like to do it listening to the Super Mario theme song. FML

In Retrospekt: The Sufami Turbo unit (SNES)
Article and Photos by Paul Monopoli.
Here’s the rundown on the Sufami Turbo. It was released in 1996 by Bandai in a rare agreement with Nintendo. In an effort to cut the costs of cartridge manufacturing, Bandai created this little system to go on top of the Super Famicom & use smaller cartridges that Bandai themselves could make in house without using Nintendo’s own expensive process.

SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium
Released 1999 System: Neo Geo Pocket

In Retrospekt: A night for two with the SEGA...
So what does one do, with the determination to “Crush it”, to eat good food, get drunk mandatorilly, to hang out with an awesome friend, to hide from the heat, and reminisce on what could well be one of the finest 8-bit home consoles ever made? To combine all of them into one Friday night in…

Ah yes, the Commodore 64. Ask any gamer from the good old days what home computer was talked about the most in the 80’s and even 90’s, and most would say “Commodore 64”. Having only played the C64 (as it will be called for the rest of the review) in primary school, It...
