Glory Days??

Recently I came across a pile of old EGM magazines, I was about to pass them by when I saw the Feb 1992 issue... what makes that issue so sweet?? It was the first issue of EGM I ever bought! (Street Fighter II cover) I picked it up for a bus trip to Toronto and it kind of got me back into video games and led me to the far superior Diehard Gamefan magazine (essentially, now called "Play"). Flipping through the old magazines really shows how things have changed, some of the reviews are particularly sweet as the reviewers rave about the glorious 8 and 16-bit graphics... there is even an expose on the features of the Genesis and SNES explaining why 16-bit is so superior. Check out the awesome black acid wash jeans, beauty sweater and mullet the Genesis guy has... I am speachless. Ideally I will take some time to show more of the old school glory contained in these fragile pages.

Finally.. big news is coming... perhaps my biggest blog story yet.... might take some time to get it all down, but I will work on it.

5 more black box games!!

Bringing the grand total to 6, not fast progress but on a budget not really that bad at all....

Kung Fu is the sweet one of this lot, never was a huge fan of the sports games on the NES though, seems I was wrong about a detail as well. These Black Box games are all by Nintendo and were released through the life of the NES, I had thought they were simply the first pile of games for the system... weird...

Got a Wii!! Yeehaw!! So far it's a very cool, played the Sports game and Wario.... looking forward to playing it some more!! Will post some embarassing pics of family and friends as soon as I can!!
