We’re Not Dead Yet! But You Could Be…..

November 3, 2009

Well it’s been quite a hiatus, and I think it’s been hard on both of us… But fear not! We’ll call you back the next Month.
Anyway, in honor of being overly late I’ll be doing a Halloween inspired game that has deserved a throne in the horror

So… How many people, by a show of hands, liked Mega Man 2. Yeah? So did I. Sure, it was a tough game at parts, but it was FUN – something lacking in many of today’s games. Now, who here by a show of hands would play Mega Man 2 again if it was slightly modded to incorporate some of the finer points of 3D while still keeping the feel of the 2D game.

The story on Infendo that is currently at the top of Reddit’s “Gaming Subreddit” pointed out that there were in fact hidden levels deep within the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartridge that never saw the light of day. Interested in these levels, I decided to do a little searching to find out what these levels were really about. Read the rest of this entry »
