Exposing my socks to the world

Retro Kombat is a site that focuses on ‘old school’ games: F-Zero, Lemmings, Mario, Mortal Kombat, Sonic the Hedgehog, Wolf Team/Telenet, Yu Suzuki/AM2, and Zool.



Now, there’s other games that I think deserve to be called classics that aren’t on this list, and some on the list that maybe would be better suited to some other list, but I’m not going to agrue with some guy who takes a Tails Sprite, colors it, and calls himself ‘Roareye’.



I especially like the MIDI’s embedded in each page.



Oh, that and the Dragons.

Anyone who played video games and owned a TV in 1989 should remember the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, featuring Captain Lou Albano, and… some other guys.



It had a theme song that you couldn’t get out of your head, a cheesy dance to do, and it showed Legend of Zelda cartoons on Fridays. With those attributes, how could it not be successful?

IGN has a little video comparing the PS2 to the Dreamcast.



This reminds me of the Nintendo vs. Sega console wars a few years ago.

The Zany Video Game Quotes Page claims that they are the only page “Bad enough to rescue the president”



Yep. I’m convinced. You can find a web-page about anything if you look hard enough.

If you’ve ever played a console RPG, I’m fairly certain the plot probably went something like this.

Dance Dance Revolution is the new arcade video game crack, but those machines cost a small fortune. This version is not only free, but lets you play without even leaving your chair.

If you’ve never seen the Mario Twins Flash done to Group X’s song by the same name, then you are missing some funny stuff. This page is the official repository of all Mario Twins information.

The Video Game Humor Page is, in my opinion, one of the grossest misuses of the word ‘Humor’ that I’ve ever seen. In my experience, any time you have to tell me something is funny, generally you’re wrong.



If you decide to visit their site, be prepared to sit through several ‘Top X Reasons Y’ lists.

The Video Game Director’s Cut lets you see what “might have happened” in some of your favorite video games. This one is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

Resident Evil almost single-handedly started the Survival Horrer genre in video games. It’s enoying renewed popularity with the remake of the first game, the prequel, and the pending re-release of Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3:Nemesis. This site has all the information that anyone would ever want to know about the series, and even some information that nobody should know.
