Best Of The Web: Retro Gaming vs Modern Gaming

March 19, 2020 By ausretrogamer

Playing video games these days is not quite like it used to be. As funny as this meme may be, it is still the current trend in modern gaming.

The gulf between old school and current generation gaming has never been greater.

Best of The Web: Mario Shenanigans

March 11, 2020 By ausretrogamer

There is no better way to start (or end) the working day than with some Mario (meme) shenanigans. Since it still is MAR10 Day somewhere on the planet, we thought, life is too serious, let’s have a laugh together!

You are in big trouble now, Mario!

Finally, we are privy to the conversation between Nintendo’s 3DS and Sony’s PS Vita. So what is the conversation about? Let’s just say that the poor little PS Vita is after some friendly advice from the 3DS. This may start a Nintendo vs Sony war!

Let’s face it, we all have our video game character crushes. Don’t even try to deny it! Some of us even have a list of virtual females we would love to date or have as girlfriends (Ed: Really? That is sad!).

The nerd playboy, Melvin (Michael Adams Davis from The Warp Zone), has taken time out of his busy schedule to put together a ‘Top 5 Video Game Girlfriends‘ list for us hot blooded gamers. No drooling allowed!

July 7, 2013 By ausretrogamer

What do you get when you cross a Rubik’s Cube wiz that is also a Mega Man fan?  Watch Kyudan’s video and find out.

Before anyone complains about the colour of 8-bit Mega Man, you should be aware that the standard Rubik’s Cube does not have the colour scheme to support two separate shades of blue on such a small scale.

IRL: A Game Like No Other

July 2, 2013 By ausretrogamer

Warning: the following video contains explicit content and language! Proceed with caution!

Right, with that warning out of the way, we can now click on play and watch Biting Elbows awesome official video for their track, ‘Bad Motherf**ker’. This video could have been inspired by ‘Mirror’s Edge’. Whatever the inspiration, we are glad Biting Elbows created this slick first-person chase video.

Being a Nintendo fan, I had to share this video. YouTube crew Retro Game Addict, has produced an awesome video depicting every Nintendo gaming system in chronological order – from Gunpei’s fabulous Game & Watch series through to the current generation Wii U console! The soundtrack is pretty funky too.

May 17, 2013 By ausretrogamer

Sifting through a mountain of video gaming sites, I came across this topical comic which I had to share. I am sure most of us (old school) gamers can relate.
