HackingSupercut-2
From Real Genius, War Games and Weird Science, to TRON, Spies Like Us and Cloak & Dagger, how many other 80s movies can you spot from this montage of computer hacking in films?

The team at Found Item Clothing have done a stellar job in collating and presenting the silliest, best and iconic hacking scenes from the big screen. Oh the nostalgia!

MVGS3: Use Your Retro Gaming Controllers On Your Smartphone or Tablet

July 27, 2014 By ausretrogamer

1-Mvgs3-AusretrogamerAttention retro gamers! Do not throw out your much loved old joysticks (or gamepads)!

Patrice Daubaire’s new invention, the MVGS3 (Multi Video Games System Three), allows up to 95 different retro gaming controllers to be used to navigate and also play games on your new smartphone and tablet! With the patent still pending, let’s all hope this awesome creation gets a commercial release soon (Ed: Perhaps Kickstarter could help?)

Just in case you were not aware of Patrice’s inventing pedigree, his previous creation, the MVGS2-Dream-Station made jaws drop all around the world a year ago (Ed: I am still picking up mine off the floor.)!

We will be keeping a close eye on this one and will hopefully be getting our grubby mits on it very soon!

Nuts For Nintendo In 1988

July 14, 2014 By ausretrogamer

NutsForNintendo

Even as far back as 1988, the age old economic model of ‘supply and demand’ generated hype and hysteria in video games. Who better to exploit this hysteria than Nintendo.

This VHS recording of a special report on ABC News‘ 20/20 (US) program features the Christmas hype and rush for Super Mario Bros. 2 and Zelda II: The Adventures of Link games. There are parents lining up for games, parents that think their kids play too much Nintendo, and then there are certain interest groups that deplore violence in video games. This Nuts For Nintendo special has it all. I guess some things never change.

Blast From the Past: Nintendo Interactive Store Displays

June 10, 2014 By ausretrogamer

Nintendo_Retail_Title

Ah, the Nintendo of old. How I miss thee, when times were simpler and there was no Microsoft nor Sony. There is always room in my heart for Nintendo, as they have endured through thick and thin in this video gaming business that is now on par with Hollywood.

So let’s take a trip down memory lane, some 22 years ago and see how Nintendo presented their wares to the retail fraternity. Golly gosh those interactive display units were awesome!

Imagine if your teenage self had a copy of Watch_Dogs on the C64! I know if I did, it would have totally blown my mind! The talent behind these AAA blockbuster video game 8-bit remakes is none other than Majami Hiroz.

Forget about playing this on the PS4, I want to play it on the trusty old C64. As Majami says, welcome to the ’80s, dawg!

Who said video games weren’t good for you? Whomever they were, they obviously hadn’t seen Daryna Kossar’s awesome kitchen creations featuring our favourite Nintendo mascot, Super Mario!

This is the coolest way to have a Super Mario treat outside of your Nintendo console.

Forget about the seven kingdoms of Westeros. If Game Of Thrones was set in Super Mario World, then this is exactly how it will pan out. Enjoy A Song Of Ice and Fire!
