Tonight on The GTFOMLG show, we'll be playing something a bit newer than most titles that we've played on the show: the ever-popular The Simpsons: Hit & Run. It's arguably the best Simpsons game out there due to its Crazy Taxi-like...   read

Remember that scene in the original Star Wars movie where Luke is hopping through those purple caves, while avoiding bouncing boulders and shooting giant pill bugs in the face? Yeah, neither do I... Get ready to set aside whatever you THINK...   read

As fans have finally gotten a hold of the wildly anticipated Sonic Mania, they are discovering the game has a couple of secrets up its sleeves for those willing to take on the bonus stages. In particular, a mode based on a long-running joke...   read

Although F-Zero and a few other storied Nintendo series can't catch a break, Kirby is always there. Whether it's a console iteration or a portable jaunt you can always count on the fluff ball to appear, and Nintendo always support...   read

After a hellish weekend, I needed something relaxing to play on tonight's episode of The GTFOMLG Show. Thankfully, you wonderful peeps voted in Mario Golf: Advance Tour last week, and I really can't think of anything more chill than th...   read

What can you say about Sonic that hasn't already been said? He's had his ups and downs, and while he started very high up, he's sunk really far down over the past decade or so and even kissed a human girl. Oh, and he's shown up to race...   read

Right off the bat, I typically don’t like clone consoles. I’m a total retro snob for the most part; not a collector but extremely picky about the accuracy of my old games. A couple of years ago I had to sell the majority of my c...   read

[The GTFOMLG Show airs Monday through Thursday at 7p.m. Pacific on Dtoid.TV. Watch Rick 'King Foom' Olson play a variety of retro games, chosen by the viewers. With a heavy focus on community interaction, you can be as much a...   read

Another day, another stroll down memory lane on The GTFOMLG Show. Tonight I'm going to run through one of my favorite classics, ActRaiser for the SNES. I play through this game at least once a year due to its beautiful mix of god-game mecha...   read

After playing some complete ball-busters on The GTFOMLG Show, we're taking a much-needed break from the hardcore. Tonight at 7pm PST, we'll be jumping into the world of Sega CD FMV titles with Time Gal and Road Avenger. Remember thinking th...   read

Sega Genesis owners were blessed; we got the most badass, coolest cyberpunk Contra game at the time when all of those Nintendo wussies were playing Contra III: The Alien Wars. Contra: Hard Corps was a tough-as-nails heavy metal album cover ...   read

With how popular split-screen gaming used to be in the retro days, its crazy that Sonic never really had a competitive multiplayer mode outside of Sonic 2 and 3. I have a lot of memories of wanting a full on co-op experience like that, tink...   read

The very first thing I posted on Destructoid as a staff writer was a love letter to Jeff Minter, the creator of Tempest 2000 for the Atari Jaguar, the “visualizer” you see on many consoles and PCs when you put a music CD in, and...   read

The GTFOMLG Show has only been going on for a week, but it's already been a blast and is picking up momentum with each show. So far, we've played Panic Restaurant, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Batman: The Video Game, talked about all things ...   read

I've been not-so-patiently waiting for Aquaria and Spelunky designer Derek Yu to come out with a new game, and I'm sure many of you can say the same. In recent weeks, he's been tweeting out images of untitled 8-bit games with the hashtag #U...   read

One of my favorite collections is my series of Game Boys. Going from the first big boy OG I owned as a kid all the way up to the New 2DS, I love taking a new portable with my on any given trip and experiencing something different each time....   read

A few months ago, my friends and wife and I got together for a game of old school Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I’ve played every edition to come out since, but there has always been something appealing about the more chaotic, unorga...   read

Inti Creates is on a roll with its Blaster Master Zero support, and in addition to a few updates and shakeups there's also been a steady stream of character DLC. Traditionally the developer has put them up for free for a few weeks then...   read

To say that last night's episode of the GTFOMLG show was an interesting start would be an understatement. We found out that Panic Restaurant wasn't as amazingly fun and polished as my rose-tinted goggles had me believing, and we also discov...   read

A few months ago, a surprise landed in my mail called the PocketCHIP. It was a surprise because I had forgotten I had pre-ordered it, and it ended up getting lost in translation for the better part of four months. A handheld micro-computer ...   read

Every so often people ask me how I'm able to spot deals or get items that sell out instantly. Given that publishers typically aren't sending collector's editions or rare items out for review I have to sort of make it on my own, but over the...   read

You may be asking yourself, what the hell is a GTFOMLG? Well, in short, it's the first of many themed shows to be hitting the Dtoid.TV channel. It stands for "Get The Fuck Off My Lawn Gaming," a showcase of all things retro filled with old ...   read

[Header courtesy of Saraharcana on DeviantArt] Shovel Knight is the game that keeps on giving. Already packed to the brim with three individual campaigns to play, Yacht Club Games is following through on its Kickstarter promise of a fourth ...   read

[Disclaimer: I have to apologise. This piece was originally written to be a little too inflammatory, and was not well thought out. I have no direct experience with this device but wanted to comment on clone consoles in general, having exper...   read

It's been a lot of fun playing new games for impressions and reviews, but I am an old man now. I have at least ten gray hairs, maybe more. And I'm really stuck in the past. So when I discovered Eskimo Bob: Starring Alfonzo today on Steam, b...   read
