Exotic N64 Handhelds

May 2, 2014 By ausretrogamer

Have you ever wanted to play your quality N64 games library on a handheld device? Seems like others do too. Emulation is ok, but nothing beats playing the actual cartridge game!

Oh how I wish I was technically oriented (and talented enough) to create something cool like these. Drool not included!

Son Of A Glitch: Mario Kart 64

March 27, 2014 By ausretrogamer

MK_64Let’s be honest, when it comes to Mario Kart games, you are either a Super Mario Kart or a Mario Kart 64 fan. I definitely fall in the latter fan group – Mario Kart 64 always felt more polished and fun to play (relax SMK fans, put those pitchforks away!).

The A+Start with Andy team have found some very cool glitches and skips on Mario Kart 64 which I will now exploit and possibly cause a rise in rage levels with my fellow karting friends. Get ready!

NES_Start_ScreensDo you want to see the start screen of every single NES game ever released? More importantly, do you have three hours to kill? If you have answered yes to both of these questions, then put your feet up, press play and get your NES nostalgia hit!

The Retro Gaming Pin Brigade

March 17, 2014 By ausretrogamer

Pins! Lots and lots of pins! Even if you are not into video gaming related enamel pins, you have to admit, these are quite cool. Ah, if only I had kept my Atari Lynx club badge.

These gaming related promotional pins are definitely becoming harder to find and are starting to demand the big bucks. If you have some in your possession, wear them proudly!
