Have you booted up your Dreamcast recently for some old-school fun and found that the loud fan noise was a little too much? Maybe your fan no longer works due to age? This mod aims to solve both issues, with a very high quality Noctua 40mm fan. Looking at the table below, it’s no surprise […]
Bomber Raid Should’ve Sent The Sound Effects Back
A game I didn’t discover until 2018, does it hold up to the classics I enjoyed as a kid? Developer Description Who has Mach-6 speed, helabad weapons, and a love for wastin’ dweebs in tanks? You do. It’s the gnarliest fighter-bomber game ever. So hot it feels like a coin-op. Why? Two-mega power means we […]
Sega Dreamcast Battery Mod
As you may know, the Sega Dreamcast was outfitted with a rechargable ML2020 Lithium battery. Released in 1998, the console (and battery) are now 22 years old. It’s not surprising then, that the battery in your console probably won’t take a charge any longer, and you’ll be asked to input a date and time every […]
Alex Kidd Probably Deserved More Attention Than It Got
Let’s take a look at one of my favourite games of the 80’s, and one of the stand-out titles for Sega’s Master System console.
N64 RGB Mod (With DIY 7316 Amp)
While the N64 was not outfitted with RGB capabilities from the factory, it does have RGB pins present on the multi-out connector on the back, and it also has RGB in-use within the console itself. What this means is; all we need to do is run the RGB lines from within the console, over to […]

Convert an Original NES Controller for use on Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari, and Many Others!
At some point in every veteran gamer’s life, a certain eye-opening event is bound to happen. I would even be so bold as to call it tradition. Every gamer runs into that moment in time, where they go back to something they loved as a kid, only to realize that once you take the nostalgia […]
Polyball: Speed, Precision, and Visual Prowess
As the type of gamer that has traditionally attached himself to the types of games that test your patience and perseverance, I feel as if I’m in a special position to speak about this title. I have played many marble rolling and time trial games in the past, and this is one of the few […]
Jackal Isn’t Much Like the Arcade Version, and That’s Good
Similar to a lot of Konami games of the NES era, Jackal is truly better when you play with a friend. It’s a great pick-up-and-play game, that anyone can have fun with. Developer Description Your brothers-in-arms are hostages behind enemy lines, and you’re their only hope for freedom. But the firepower you’ll face to rescue […]
Slain: Back From Hell Will Test Your Metal
Slain: Back From Hell isn’t a retro game. It’s too pretty to be retro. Developer Description You control the fate of Bathoryn, a doomed hero in a Gothic world, who seeks to liberate six cursed realms from six deadly overlords. He must battle his way through this blighted land, packed with gruesome pixel art foes […]
