Game Time Episode 1: Contra

Game Time was an idea I had back in summer 2013 that was going to combine the use of video game reviews and a dry (almost non-existent) sense of humor. With the holidays coming and going I was finally able to work on the idea a bit further, allowing me to finish the first episode. In this episode of game time we are going to be looking into the game called “Contra” and it’s personal creepy factor. From the creature design to the general idea of the game itself, we find out that many different levels of creepy exist in this classic NES game.

Abobo's Big Adventure

The power of flash can be amazing at times. When you have the right mindset and a set goal you try to use the program you’re used to just to see how far you can stretch it. Abobo’s big adventure is a good example of the power of flash and what it can do for you. But this article isn’t about Flash. Oh no, this article is about one of the best fan made games made in flash. Abobo’s big adventure was made by Roger Barr and friends as a dedication/tribute to the golden era of the NES days. Today there are a lot of people doing NES game reviews or just looking back at the past to preserve their childhood. If those people were to play this game today, it would seem like a breath of fresh air and a blast to the past. If you have some free time I would highly recommend you play the game.

Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program

Most everyone knows about the recent price drop in the pricing for the Nintendo 3DS, but what about the people who bought a 3DS when they premiered or shortly after they came out? Well, Nintendo has started the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Program that allows these customers to recieve FREE NES game downloads as well as future updates and news on releases before anyone else. Does it make up for those who spent the extra $100 or so just to get it when it first arrived on the market, is that good enough for being a loyal Nintendo gamer? I think it is, I would like to see the possibility of other Nintendo 3DS owners to get the oppertunity to be a part of this program and experience some perks. Check out this video of the program and some of the games and benefit those users get.
