I know that Adventure is very signifcant in the history of video games.  Heck, there's even an exhibit about it at the National Videogame Musuem near my house (grr).  But I've never been able to get into that game myself.  

Speaking of Crystal Castles, I just reviewed a book by the guy who helped made that game!  Link is below.  Also, when I was writing for The Dallas Morning News, I reviewed a game called Gubble that was made by the same guy and plays just like Crystal Castles.

It's too bad they're getting rid of Nintendo Zones, but they haven't done anything new with StreetPass in years.  It's a shame, because StreetPass was one of the things that made the 3DS really unique and stand out.

I wonder if the Dreamcast Pod Racing game is based on the N64 version or the SEGA made arcade version?

I remember when the N64 version was announced at E3.  It was the first E3 I went to in LA.  Before then, E3 was in Atlanta for a couple of years, and I went to those first.  Anyway, this E3 was also the same weekend that you could buy tickets to see Phantom Menace, and we had a hotel near the Chiniese Theater and I could see the line from our window!  It was crazy to experience that first hand!  The game was pretty hot at the show, too.  You could sit down in these Pod Racer seats to play it.  R2-D2 was also at the press conference.

I like it too, for some reason.

Wow!  Chapman looks really STRONG and tough!

I like Star Wars, but outside of the LEGO games, I never really got into the Star Wars games that much.

Have you ever seen the Japan only Namco NES Star Wars game?  It's pretty weird!

Yeah Coffee Crisis is EXACTLY like games such as Streets of Rage, except Streets of Rage is way better.

The only good thing about having passwords is you can look them up on the Internet and start anywhere you want.  But in this day and age when consoles have internal memory for saves, using passwords shouldn't be your only option.

I definitely grew up with Atari, even if I didn't own a 2600 until much later.  It was the big thing back then.

I remember reading about this game a lot, but I never played it.  It was always rented out at the local mom and pop movie rental place.

The only achievement I've gotten in that collection is for Frog Pond, which I'll talk about when I do my 2600 blog later on.
