Just over a month ago, I mentioned in this post that I recently developed a bit of an obsession with the Bandai WonderSwan. I also mentioned that Ive already picked up a few games for this Japan-only...
Mario-inspired t-shirt designs pop up with such regularity these days that most folks probably stopped caring about them long ago. Its hard not to care about a well-produced Mario-inspired t-shirt de...
Is Fukio Mitsugis Bubble Bobble the best single-screen platformer ever made? I believe so, but that doesnt mean its the only example of the genre worth playing. Cases in point: Each of the so-called ...
Consider my mind blown. What blew it, you ask? The video below, which showcases the "secret" levels in Parasol Stars that only can be accessed after meeting certain conditions (i.e., grabbing...
Atlantas one and only Ashley Anderson recently surprised me by sending me the poster--of his crazy, sprite-filled collage titled "Cabana Fever" (below)--that was showcased in a recent issue o...
I find it kind of funny that I decided to call this particular post "Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly edition." After all, neither of the games represented below is actually named Fatal Fram...
Like many folks, PC Genjin (aka Bonks Adventure, if youre a North American like I am) was the game that prompted me to pick up a PC Engine (or, rather, a TurboGrafx-16) back in the day. I liked every...
Just in case you didnt receive the memo: Im a card-carrying member of the "Single-Screen Platformer Fan Club." (As Im sure you can imagine, its a fairly small club.) The game thats chiefly re...
True story: Ive never been much of a fan of the first game in Konamis TwinBee series. The PC Engine port of the series second quarter-muncher, Detana!! TwinBee? Always up for a round or two (or more)...
Although Im not planning to buy a copy of Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise after it hits the streets of Europe on July 6, Id be lying if I said I wasnt a bit envious of my European compadres who are pl...
Keep in mind that the confession above is being made by someone who is no real fan of the sport known in some regions as football and in others as soccer. Still, I cant help but love the box ar...
So, yesterday I yammered on about the five things that make me clap like a seal (thats a good thing, for those of you who arent schooled in the ways of these fin-footed mammals) whenever I play Xenob...

I really shouldnt be allowed to have a credit card. I say that because if I werent in possession of a credit card, I wouldnt be able to buy any of the games and systems that, like so many shiny objec...
Since I havent injected this blog with a massive dose of cuteness in a while, I thought Id do so today by posting the work-in-progress hoop-thing (can you tell Im an embroidery expert?) below thats b...
Its been a while (over a month, I think) since I published my last "dad update," so I thought Id rectify that today. The biggest news of the last few weeks is that my dad is walking again. He...
By Anne Lee Mr. Driller A, or Mr. Driller Ace: Wonderful Pacteria, never made it outside of Japan, and its a real shame, as its my favorite title in the series (but I dont claim to be much of an auth...

About two months ago, I suggested (in this post) that I was quite smitten with the polygonal enemies that are set to appear in Atlus upcoming Etrian Odyssey IV. Do I still feel that way about the gam...
Said conversation would begin, of course, with me asking the seller, "Youre completely bonkers, arent you?" I cant think of a better question to ask someone who is trying to sell (via th...
Please note: I wrote the header above shortly after my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles arrived on our doorstep a couple of weeks ago. At the time, I planned on spending a good portion of the following w...
Hey, dont look at me that way. I told you (last week, in this post) that I was a bit obsessed with Mr. Driller at the moment, remember? Anyway, thanks to said obsession, Im thinking of picking up ano...
