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!

Competition time! To celebrate 300 fans enjoying the hard work we’ve been doing on Retrospekt for the past six months, we’ll be giving away one of these in working condition, with Super Mario Land.
I will ask one simple question on the Facebook fanpage.
To enter: simply join the Facebook Fanpage, and get the question correct. The question will be up as soon as I see 300 fans on the page.
NOTE: this competition is open only to residents of planet Earth!
SECOND NOTE: If at any time the amount of fans drop under 300 during the competition, the question and answer will be invalid, and a new question will be created until we have a winner during the 300 fan period :P
