It should be quite apparent by now that both Dave and I are very much into old-school or retro gaming. I started cutting my gaming teeth on the Apple II with games like Aztec before moving on to the Commodore 64. My dad was a college professor and traded copies of games with students so [...]

Gamers of Louisville and its surrounding areas will soon be treated to the second Louisville Arcade Expo. We were there last year enjoying room after room filled with retro gaming goodness, arcade cabinets, pinball machines, gaming tournaments, vendors, artists and more. The first expo, in our opinion was a huge success and we have been [...]

Welcome to the New Year! Enjoy an hour and a half of Wes and Dave discussing bullshit and their year in video games.

Picked up a Sega CD over the weekend and I am psyched. I had my Genesis before my SNES and have always had a soft spot for Sega’s consoles. The only game I have at the moment is Mortal Kombat which is rated MA-17 on the Sega CD which means it does not need to [...]

There are rare occasions when sitting down to play games feels like such a burden. On these occasions, I dread how much time it is going to suck out of my day. I never used to feel this way about games, and I think I have finally realized why this feeling has slowly been growing [...]

Matt, Dave and Wes discuss the pros and cons of the Sega Master System II and… some other things…

Dave and Wes once again ramble on incessantly because once we get drunk it’s very difficult to stop us from talking about video games. Even if we don’t really end up saying anything meaningful. At all. Anyway, at least this time we gave you some pictures to look at. Enjoy the randomly placed, gratuitous boob [...]

Wes and Dave drink too much and discuss the greatest hits of the NES. We talked way more than we expected, so we skipped the slideshow, just enjoy the audio… if you dare…

If you lived through it, your life was never the same. The 16-bit Wars scarred those involved. Turned friend against friend, brother against brother. I enlisted early on as a soldier in the Sega Genesis Army and for two good years we were running things. No one could compete – the NES? Please. TurboGrafx-16? Bonk [...]

As an avid video game fan, it is very difficult not to spend my free time reading game news, watching game previews and reviews and generally searching out any and all game-related information so that I’m at least somewhat knowledgeable on current and upcoming releases and the buzz surrounding them. When there is an upcoming [...]

SNES Favorites The SNES may be the best video gaming console ever created. The quality of the library for the little 16-bit system that could is unmatched. In this iteration of Video Game Theater we examine some of my favorite SNES games… or at least their introduction sequences. Enjoy: Your browser does not support iframes.
