MGC Pick Ups

The Midwest Gaming Classic is going on right this very moment. Unfortunately I had to leave a little early today due to a family emergency. Anyways since I do have this moment of down time I thought I'd share some game pick ups.

While not at all rare or anything special I still had to pick up MK & Street Fighter 2 for the SNES. I suppose it's more for sentimental value.

Next up, Bust-A-Move 2 and the awesome Gunstar Heroes. Bust-A-Move has always been one of those games I can pick up and play with ease. It wouldn't matter if it was for 2 mins or an hour it is always a fun time. Gunstar Heroes is a game that flew totally under my radar growing up. It wasn't until I started to collect retro games again that I even heard of it. I played it on an emulator before, but like most games there is just about playing them on the original hardware that makes it that much more satisfying. I got a nice deal on it too. Score! 

Let's Play TMNT 4

Boy I never though there would be so much of a learning curve to making game play videos, but I think I finally got it down. The last couple of weeks I have been screwing around with my recording setup. I was having bad audio issues and dropped video frames. It took a lot patience and at times a little swearing, but I figured out the problems. Even after having all the correct settings and doing the actually recording I still had to figure out the right way to upload it from my Twitch TV channel to YouTube. Fortunately for me that was the easiest part.

Last night me and my 5yr old son played through Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4. The furthest we have made it before was the pirate ship. So I used my Game Genie for infinite lives in order for us to make it all the way to the end of the game. My son loves the Turtles and we had a lot of fun playing together. Beat 'em ups like Turtles 4 are the perfect game for us to play. Especially when you don't have to worry about dying. The game controls are simple, with only two button for him to mash and most importantly lots of action so he doesn't get bored.

Next time I'll try to add commentary to my videos but I'm still working out some issues with my mic setup. I might  try to do another Let's Play tonight. Maybe something on Sega Genesis. Well anyways check out our TMNT 4.

Are You Kidding Me?

So like most retro game collectors I'm always on the lookout for a good deal. I understand that somethings cost more do to rarity or demand and am willing to pay more for an items when it's a fair price. That's just the way it goes, but more often than not I run across ads for retro gaming items that are way over priced. The contents of this new feature on Retro-Blog is about the ads for retro gaming stuff that has me saying, "Are You Kidding Me?"
