I think I deserve my first ever cup of coffee. The boy just slept eight straight hours and I feel fantastic.

Over at DbT, we’re now entering the top 10 for the best adventure games of all time. Today’s offering stars everyone’s favorite whip-wielding, snake-fearing, fortune and glory seeker. Release Date: 1993 Platform: Sega Genesis Developer: Mutant Productions I never owned any Sega system and I’m sure I’ve missed out on many great games. However, I [...]  Beau  January 23rd, 2013, at 8:00 am  46 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired)  Pixel Perfect Memories My last column before my life changes forever, I won’t be reviewing an actual game today. My blog is still churning out reviews. If you have an interest in adventures games, check out the current countdown, where I have already detailed a game where you play characters in Edgar Allen Poe stories, another where you [...] Beau January 19th, 2013, at 7:00 pm 22 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Wild Win the Stanley Cup! I don’t know much about hockey–I can’t even skate–but I do believe this might be the best team the Wild have ever put on the ice in their brief history in the league. I literally got excited on July 4, 2012 when I heard they signed both Sutter and Parise. The state of hockey has [...] I rarely weigh in here on anything more important than baseball or video games. But I feel compelled to weigh in on a whole bunch of things I’ve been reading and hearing over the past two days. I heard from a psychologist that the profile of a mass murderer is someone who has been significantly [...] Beau November 27th, 2012, at 7:00 am 25 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories The Top 100 NES Countdown will be over before the next PPM column. Today’s game at #22 is R.C. Pro-Am. Release Date: September, 1987 Platform: NES Developer: TRY I think my parents fell for the marketing ploy that the power pad would give us a reason to exercise while playing the Nintendo. We got [...] Beau October 16th, 2012, at 6:00 am 33 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Today begins the Top 50 of my NES countdown. Today’s featured game is Dragon Warrior. Release Date: 1988 Platform: LCD Handheld Developer: Tiger Yeah, the entire Tiger system is painfully outdated, with it’s blippity bloop sounds and constantly flashing graphics. But I spent way too much time playing it. How about you? There’s really no [...] Beau September 12th, 2012, at 6:00 am 42 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories For anyone who missed it, the Top 100 NES games countdown has commenced over at Death By Troggles. Today’s game, Cobra Triangle, is #74 on the list. Release Date: 2004 Platform: Windows Developer: Oberon Murder Mystery and Minesweeper. It took this long for someone to combine the two? Your guess is as good as mine. [...] Beau July 24th, 2012, at 6:00 am 74 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Hey ya’ll! Sorry I was absent last month. Maybe the wedding got in the way. Either way, I wanted to give everyone a head’s up on what’s going on over at my website. I just recently finished the Star Trek countdown, and coming soon will be the Top 100 NES games. So far this column [...] Beau May 29th, 2012, at 6:00 am 15 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Release Date: 1982 Platform: Arcade Developer: Bally Midway As I mentioned here last month, I found this game at the Pinball Hall of Fame. I remember playing this a lot when my family was holed up at a Sheraton hotel for a week when I was six. We had a house fire and the insurance [...] I have never been away from the WGOM for a whole week. Hopefully you all can point me to any awesome threads I missed. And, this may be really pretentious, but I thought I’d recap some highlights and lowlights of my trip. This was my first ever road trip, and aside from a flight to [...] Beau April 2nd, 2012, at 7:00 am 20 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Release Date: 1981 Platform: Atari 2600, GameBoy Color Developer: Atari I grew up with Atari, which is to say it was the system we had until I was seven years old and the NES came out. Then we kind of stopped playing. And there’s not really any games I go back and play anymore. I [...] Billy Martin was a below average but serviceable infielder for the Yankees while they won four world series in the 50′s. He was traded during his age 29 season and bounced around to several teams, never staying anywhere longer than a year. His final year at age 33 was with the brand new Minnesota Twins. [...] Beau February 29th, 2012, at 6:00 am 49 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Release Date: 1989 Platforms: NES, Xbox 360, many computer systems Developer: Konami I never really cared for the port to the NES. The graphics were okay, but not great. You could only use two turtles at a time. There were new levels and bosses, but it always felt a bit flat to me. I honestly [...] Spooky is sick, and Gleeman is complaining about which relievers the Twins didn’t sign. Oh, look, the sun! Beau January 31st, 2012, at 6:00 am 11 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Release Date: 1993 Platforms: SNES, Genesis Developer: LucasArts Not really an obscure game, but still probably not as widely played as it should have been. From one of best game developers of all-time, Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a quirky but difficult game that forces you to try and save the world from an invasion [...] Pixel Perfect Memories will come out tomorrow. Tonight I’m in the mood to discuss baseball. While not a scheduled feature, from time to time I would like to take a look at some of the more amazing, unlikely play-by-play moments in history. One of the reasons I love the game so much is that at [...] Beau December 27th, 2011, at 6:00 am 31 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Release Date: July, 1987 Platform: NES Developer: Nintendo Kid Icarus has an odd place in the history of the NES. It seems to be one of those rare games that has a massive following but remains underrated. Part of the problem is that it was developed by the same people who made Metroid and was [...] Beau November 29th, 2011, at 6:00 am 20 LTEs - (Sorry, but the time to add LTEs has expired) Pixel Perfect Memories Release Date: June 5, 1995 Platform: Super Nintendo Developer: APE; HAL Laboratory Considered a cult classic, I have never known anyone personally to dislike this RPG. In fact, I am not sure I know anyone who doesn’t love it like crazy. But when the market for RPGs was still trying to gain steam in America, [...] httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9XmGf40pn4 My favorite band of all time was sadly only together a very short time and thus has few live performances anywhere. And while I’m glad John continues to tour, his voice just isn’t that great anymore. So after passing over the overrated Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising, I leave you all with a [...] |
