In the climactic war between Grump and Not So Grump, the mighty Jafari fell to the cunning Raptor. Tears were shed for the fallen, seemingly lost to the ether for eternity. Lo, Jafari was merely bidding his time, that he may again demonstr...

While playing The Walking Dead, I often thought about whether it could have been released on earlier consoles and what it would look like, if it were. Telltale Games writer and designer Mark Darin answers this question via an awesome galler...

I've been sitting on this one for a couple of weeks until I powered though my to-do list. Now that I'm all caught up, it's go time, baby! Mark "TDK" Knight is a British composer from way back in the Commodore 64 and Amiga days. In 1992, he ...

I've got another kickin' chiptune album for your twisted pleasure. You people make me sick! Between 2008 and now, Richard "Kulor" Armijo composed a bunch of tunes based on the NES, Game Boy, Master System, Game Gear, Atari 800, Atari 2600, ...

It's somehow been two years since Vlambeer released Super Crate Box for PC. I distinctly remember Conrad getting obsessed with the minimalistic arcade game for a good long time and eventually causing me to get all wrapped up in it as well. ...

At the tender age of four I sat in my best friend's basement playing her brother's Commodore 64. My friend, a girl, enjoyed watching me play, and offered me a challenge: beat any game, and she'd kiss me. My game of choice was Great Giana S...

True retroheads respect the Commodore 64. It's the first system I ever owned, and it kicked ass for its time. While it's obviously been outclassed now (and most of the games were crap), the Commodore 64 iPhone App has been an incredibly pop...

I used to play Pooyan a lot on my Commodore 64, but I never really saw the arcade unit anywhere. Perhaps too many years had passed between its 1982 release and the time you would find me crawling through smoky rooms, playing games. I wish I...

Damn Xbox 360, you just got your ass handed to you by a dead console. SNAP! Yeah that's right you retro loving old people. The Commodore 64 has a Twitter application now. Why? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY! F**k Twittering from your PC or Phone. Yo...
