3715ArticleHoju KoolanderJust more evidence that licensed games usually disappoint. Am I remembering correctly that Alex Kidd was the original mascot for SEGA Genesis, before Sonic became their main man? Jan 30, 2017View
3716ArticleBenjanimethat is indeed correct, as stated in a video by 'did you know gaming'. i know not many people disliked alex kidd for its difficulty, but a modern game would be nice to see.The Worst Games I've Rented on my AllowanceJan 31, 2017View
3717ArticleRick Ace RhodesI would honestly say though you are a lot smarter for renting games, trying them out and determining you don't like them. Unlike me, who would buy the games as a kid and realize what a pile of crap I just bought.The Worst Games I've Rented on my AllowanceJan 31, 2017View
3718ArticleBenjanimeby the late 90s i actually rented games more than buying them, which probably wasn't the best choice since i was still missing out on a bunch of great games, but that's how my mind worked back then lol.The Worst Games I've Rented on my AllowanceJan 31, 2017View
3732ArticlemassrealityI also rented games more than I bought them growing up. I can't even recall all the horrible titles I rented over the years because the cover art was great or it was a licensed property that I loved. The Worst Games I've Rented on my AllowanceFeb 10, 2017View
5208ArticleBenjanimehey i remember reading this from retrojunk! such a classic :)Playing HookyMay 19, 2020View
5209ArticleVaporman87Epic tale of childhood brazenness as only vkimo could tell it. Who knew that a boy scout like vkimo, with his flag shorts and leather fascination, could be so mischievous? I was never inclined or brave enough to skip school for any period of time, though I did spend a few afternoons here and there "skipping" recess. LOL. A group of friends and I called ourselves C.Y.G.A. (Citizens and Young Guardian Avengers)... don't ask. Our mission in the later years of elementary school? To NOT go outside and play when everyone else did for recess. Yeah. We would stay behind and wander the halls of the elementary school trying not to get caught by the teachers and staff. Daring isn't it?Playing HookyMay 19, 2020View
5210ArticleNLoganHas it really been nearly ten years since you wrote this? Wow! My brother and I ditched during junior high. We made a fort in a field for a couple of days. We naively hid from every adult thinking they would call a truancy officer on us. We wised up and just started going to a buddy's house until school got out. We played video games and watched MTV. Eventually the thrill was gone and it got boring. So we went back to class. It was better to be friends with the teachers. I got out of math to play baseball because they were a guy short. Or the time we went on the day long chess club field trip tournament and weren't even on the team, we just knew how to play and they were short people. We played five games contributed to the team score so they didn't forfeit, then played handball in the racquetball court, swam in the pool, and played basketball. Legitimately excused from class was way better.Playing HookyMay 29, 2020View
5212Articlevkimo@Nlogan - Wow, it has been almost a decade..and at least 2 decades since those events transpired. I agree, an excused absence is the way to go, the lack of guilt would make even the Chess Club a blessing.So did the buddy ditch too? His parents must have been at work @Vapor - Me and my friends did that too! After lunch after everyone spilled out, we'd sneak back into the classrooms. It was surreal and I remember one time almost getting caught by the janitor. Good timesPlaying HookyMay 29, 2020View
3765ArticleVaporman87Great idea for a list Rick, and well executed. There is a wealth of great games here, most of which I never tuned in to watch... so breaking them down for me was helpful. LOLMy 10 Favorite Super Bowl Games Part 1Feb 21, 2017View
