100 SNES games in 10 minutes, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, Space Invaders Jacket and Wonderboy VS Adventure Island
HAH! See how you like it! From Flickr user Seven_Hundred. So okay it’s that fortnightly Thursday, and that means I go to a store to buy one old game, I managed to get this untimely classic for the Super NES:
Bloody hard game, but a lot of fun nevertheless! Okay onto today’s posts: Another great Tumblr blogsite, this time from UK artist Forx. Covering a lot of great and geeky retro stuff as well as showcasing his own artwork. Bravo Tom :)
The adorable Rinry has posted a comparison of Adventure Island on the NES and Wonderboy on the SEGA Master System, as in they’re bloody identical! See for yourself:
Yeeaaaaaah :\ Another facet that has caused a bit of an argument, as I have heard in the past, is whether Mario hits the blocks with his head or his fist. Well this picture should clarify it for those who still think with their heads:
Okay now this is pretty awesome, from San Francisco, D-structure have for sale a jacket with back design resembling those pesky invaders:
Finally we all know how the SNES was a gorgeous console, and many can think of a few games off the top of their heads.. well how about 100? Here’s a video covering 100 titles in 10 minutes. Enjoy, and I’ll see you all tomorrow!

A beautiful piece by Yasunori Mitsuda, composer of the music from Chrono Trigger. This is the Retrospekt game tune of the week. Also to celebrate the announcement of Final Fantasy 1 & 2 coming to the iPhone!

Retrospekt Review: SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium (Neo Geo Pocket)
SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium
Released 1999
System: Neo Geo Pocket
Review done by Paul Monopoli
SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium (from here on referred to as MOTM) is the first in the SNK & Capcom vs games. Being a fan of both franchises I purchased this game on release, & I didn’t even own a Neo Geo Pocket!!! It took another 6 months to get that, which means MOTM was sitting in the top of my cupboard eagerly awaiting it’s first play. So 6 months of waiting… it’s a long time. Was it worth it? In a word YES. WAIT, don’t leave the review yet. Don’t you want to know why it was worth it? Thought so…

A great rendition to American Pie.. but to dedicate this to all of us retrogamers worldwide! :)
