When you think back to your childhood playing these games when they were first released they bring back great memories around the TV. I have tried to purchase some of my old favorites but times have changed and the games I once loved are now collector items and very hard to come by.

I mean they have Nintendo emulators but it’s not the same.

This one however has characters like Frogger, Q-Bert and other arcade classic heroes. You can find information about the show here however if your looking to get a copy on VHS or DVD forget about it.

The show was never actually put on VHS or DVD and why? Many people think its because of licensing issues because the characters come from various sources.

I added the introduction video of it above so have a look and see what you think. If you like old video games and cartoons this might be the cartoon you’ve been looking for.

If you haven’t already guessed it, the site in question is chasethechuckwagon.com and despite having been in existance since 2004 it certainly kept a low profile and eluded me all these years. Any way it’s not only becoming one of my personal favourites for finding old video games but I honestly can’t stop recommending it to everyone hence this post. Check it out and let me know what you think.

We tried several levels within the Gloomy Glutch area and found some really great sounding background music. Seriously you have to hear this so head over to vgmusic.com and look up Donkey Kong Country 2 for Super Nintendo and see for yourself.

Donkey Kong Country 2 was the sequel to the big seller Donkey Kong Country. Released by Nintendo in 1995 and developed by Rareware the game was praised much like the past game for the overall playability, graphics, setting and music.

Many people know the first game however the second is just as good as should be played and loved. The only thing you should remmeber about this game is that Donkey Kong has been captured so you play as Diddy and Dixie Kong in this version.

The cereal promoted both the Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda and was divided in half with one side containing Super Mario Bros and the other The Legend of Zelda. Interesting fact but the cereal came with trading cards and a stick which you could collect. The cereal nowadays can be found on auction sites for selling over 100 dollars a box.

I have to admit that I liked this one much more then the previous shows, I believe there was at least two or three different cartoons not counting the Legend of Zelda and the Game Master one. Great old retro cartoons, always a good watch.

I would have built it out of the grey NES console rather then this one but it does look really cool, even the headstock is made from a controller. Some people have some wild ideas and it’s great to see them put to use.

Sure if the console is unrepairable why not turn it into something beautiful like this guitar?

I have to say that both Chrono Trigger and Mario RPG both deserve to be on that list. That’s coming from a RPG fan like myself and that shows as most of the games I review have RPG points to them. Chrono Trigger is quite pricey nowadays but it’s worth every penny.

As you all know Dragon Warrior 3 is part of the Dragon Warrior series which is called Dragon Quest in Japan. Chunsoft developed the game back in 1988 and was published by Enix, now Square-Enix that same year.

The game eventually was ported to Super Nintendo and also the Game Boy in the late 90’s. This game was unique to other role-playing games because it introduced a class system where you were able to choose a specific class for each of your characters. These characters would eventually make up your party which you would travel with.

I know this seems like I am a music nut but again I have to say it, Dragon Warrior 3 has great music even for a Nintendo game. The music itself like many games really makes the difference and puts you in the mood depending on the scene your currently playing.

The overall graphics were great as well for the Nintendo Entertainment System however if you are looking for a copy of the game today its value has greatly increased. These old classics are getting hard to find so if your a collector I’d consider you searching eBay for them and buying them up now while they are affordable.

Soon my birthday came along and my mom bought me my own copy of Mario Paint, I was one excited gamer. I loved Mario when I was a kid so this game was very exciting considering the number of things you could do in the game itself.

You could make music, paint photos, play games, make your own stamps and loads more of fun things. For those who don’t know Mario Paint was released by Nintendo in 1992 and it used the Nintendo Mouse. The game also came with the mousepad and had features such as 60 different textures, 75 different stamps and 15 customizable stamps.

The game was rated on Nintendo Power’s top 200 game list of all time and personally I think it deserves that honorable mention. The game itself was almost like a mini computer and many would think why make a game out of that when there is already computers that can do it better. Well because it’s Mario and its on your Super Nintendo.

Like most role-playing games this one featured turn based combat as well as some other nice features one being “Macros” where you could program the attack sequence. Programming the macro means you could set up various attacks or combos for certain enemies or bosses.

The magna-style cutscenes added quite a bit of detail to the game as well and I though brought it to life. The overall graphics and music in the game were great and kept you in tune when playing. There was a large cast of characters as well as weapons and armor to equipt your heroes with.

The storyline follows a young bounty hunter named Chaz Ashley along with his friends, they soon find out an evil in the land and are soon on their way to fighting it. The classic story of most role-playing games but either way this one is a must to play.

The comics actually ran in Nintendo Powers in 1992 and featured manga style drawing. The comics are loosly based on the game Super Mario World as I said above. You can find these comics in paper back by themselves if you look hard enough.

It is said after the comics were finished and the year was over they were turned into booklets and sold by themselves. I still have some of the sheets from one of the original Nintendo Power and came across them the other day.

I figured this would be an interested post because anyone who loves Mario should really know about these comics. You can also read them online by visiting: http://boomansion.net/comics/sma/
