Mega Q*Bert
I had thought about doing this as part of a Romhack Thursday, but I didn't get it together in time for yesterday. And anyway, it's not a hack of another game, but a homebrew title for the Genesis/Mega Drive. And it's quite good!

While it has a recreation of the original Q*bert, the main attraction to Mega Q*bert is Mega Mode, which adds a lot of new elements

This is a pretty nifty website that covers a variety of retro-coding topics. Here I link to three recent posts.

I've mentioned before my fondness for CP/M, the first widely-used microcomputer OS, the DOS-before-DOS. My attempts to try to emulate machines using it, however, have mostly go

Great Mappy Strategy Video
Our retro arcade strategy week is over, but this is a related video that I've been sitting on for quite a while. The Disconnector made a very nice strategy video (20 minutes) for Namco's cult favorite cat-and-mouse game Mappy. It works as both an introduction and a guide to the game as it develops.

Pero hay un comentario que digamos merodea o de vez en cuando aparece de forma persistente, casual, omnipresente, indiscutible, unilateral.

¿Adivinan? No importa, viene a ser mas o menos con estas palabras: "mi esposa no me aprueba... mi esposa sabe... mi esposa tolera... mi esposa aceptará para próximo mes... mi esposa se niega..."

¡Uau! ¡Pero si estamos hablando de retroinformática y como este detalle es completamente relevante!

Habrá que hacer alguna "campaña". #retro #pueseso #Amiga #Atari

The @!#?@! of Q*Bert
Fourth of five retro arcade strategy posts this week, how about we learn how to play the swearingist classic game: Q*bert.

Here's a video that covers what each of Q*bert's five levels is like (18 minutes):

You play Q*bert, and at first it seems simple. Level 1, you jump on each cube once. Slick and/0r Sam may change th

Defender Strategy
Defender's difficulty is legendary. Craig Kubey in The Winner's Guide to Video Games said it was like being locked in a closet with a swarm of killer bees, and I actually think that's not overstatement. And yet, people have flipped Defender's score counter many times in a single game.

In an 18-minute strategy session, Joe

Robotron 2084 Strategy from arcadeimpossible
It's the third of this week's classic arcade strategy find posts, and today's dedicated to the original twin-stick shooter, Robotron 2084.

Robotron's what I'd call a very pure game. It's simple in play, nowhere near as complex as Eugene Jarvis' first game Defender,

Webdepths: Three More Old Final Fantasy VI Sites
We posted to the long-lived FFVI site (which a handful of old people may still think of as Final Fantasy III) Caves of Narshe a few days ago. In looking up stuff about it I ran across a few other sites too that I figured I might call out. Because while humans may read this site, Google reads it too, and if I can help those ot

Famicom Galaxian, never released in the US until Namco Museum Archives Vol. 1, is a tiny program, even by Famicom/NES standards. It may be the smallest Famicom game; the ROM is only 16K large, taking up just half of the

The Website Caves of Narshe
We love oldschool websites around here, and unlike Final Fantasy Kingdom, whose images are all broken and likely isn't long for this world, Caves of Narshe has been kept up-to-date, its images and links all work, it's got a good design, and is full of interesting info on Final Fantasies 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9, plus Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono Trig

Piccadilly Gradius
After yesterday's exploration of a huge collection of antique electro-mechanical amusement machines, it seemed meet to drag out a little video I've been aware of for a while, a demonstration of a Piccadilly Circus-style redemption machine made by Konami, amusingly named Piccadilly Gradius (2 minutes).

A huge old-timey penny arcade in Yorkshire
It's hard to believe, but an "arcade" didn't used to mean video games.

Pretty hard to read. Is that supposed to be AAIMAIS?

Raimais is a sci-fi-focused maze game from Taito in 1988. Ryan Oliver, writing over at Hardcore Gaming 101, has written an excellent description of the game, including why you might be interested in it. Not only is it like a kind of Arkanoid-style revision of
