           Nintendo Advanced Video System: The NES that could have been                                                                                     T he Origins The Nintendo Family Computer nicknamed the Famicom released on July 13th 1983. It saw massive success in Japan, which lead to the idea of releasing the system internationally. Nintendo wanted to work with the company Atari to release it in other countires . Those plans fell through due to Coleco developing a computer version of Donkey Kong for the Coleco ADAM, the Video Game Crash Of 1983, and Atari's upcoming 7800.  Consequently Nintendo decided to make their own version of the Family Computer for the internatioal market.                                                               Details The Nintendo AVS was introduced to the world at the 1984 CES. The system was a pc/console hybrid and bundled with a keyboard, joystick, light gun, two regular controllers, and a cassette player. All of the bundled devices were w

Sonic needs to stop Robotnik/Eggman and rescue his friends.                                                                                           Gameplay    The gameplay is really fun most of the time. Even though it is completely different from the Genesis version so much so that it is basically a completely new game besides a few levels that are the same as its Genesis counterpart. Instead of doing some trippy, psychedelic, headache inducing special stages to collect emeralds. You find them in  various zones of the game. In this version, due to the game gears screen being small all the boss fights with Robotnik/Eggman are basically cake walks. There are also diffrent speci

          The FamicomBox: The Famicom For The Hotel    Introduction Have you ever been to a hotel? If you have, it is very likely that they may have a console you can play in your room. If you were in Japan in late 80s you would have had access to the FamicomBox. A famicom intended for hotel use.   Details   The FamicomBox is a silver metal box. It can hold 15 famicom games at once. The unique thing about the games is that their shells are the same as your standard NES cartridge. All of the games have the same label. These games will only work on the FamicomBox system. Meaning if you buy a FamicomBox game it will not work on any regular retail famicom or NES. Many games like Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Wild Gunman, Exitebike, Ice Climbers, Bomberman, Donkey Kong 1 and 2, Gradius, Rockman and many more are on this system. Also, the controllers and light gun on this system are similar to the NES.     The End Thank you for reading this article, it really means a lot to me. Follow me on 

         Every North American Funtastic N64 From Worst To Best                                           S moke Black  I  personally think this is one is the most unnecessary of the N64 models. Mostly because it looks almost identical to the regular  charcoal black 64. If you are buying an N64, you should not get this model unless you're a hardcore collector or fan of the N64.                                                         Watermelon Red This particular one does not look to me, I personally don't care for the shade of red they used. Which is a shame since red is my favorite color. I think you should also stay away from this watered down Kool-Aid shade of red.                                           Jungle Green This next one I think looks like emeralds and uranium. I just never thought it was interesting color for this system. But hey, maybe you are into it.                                Ice Blue and Midnight Blue I like the look of these two a lot, they remind me o

  Doom Absolution Happy Halloween everybody! Today I will be talking about the cancelled game Doom Absolution on the N64. Which was meant to be a sequel to Doom 64.          Info There is a lot we do not know about this title, so lets dive into some of the basics. It was meant to be a sequel to Doom 64. It would've been a multiplayer focused shooter game, To compete with games like Goldeneye.   A quote from Aaron Seeler said "At that time, as doom purists, most everybody involved thought it Was silly to play doom split screen, where you could see everybody else. So, we chose not to do it. 007 beat the crap out of Doom 64. Quite a regret". They decided to cancel the game because by then their engine named the Doom engine was becoming outdated. So They decided to work on Quake 64 instead. Fun Fact Doom Absolution was canceled only three months after the release of Doom 64        The  End Happy Halloween.

  Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Review Plot While Mario was busy saving Sarasaland, his rival Wario is on a mission to gain his very own   palace.   In this game Wario steals Mario's island by hypnotizing it's residents. Which  means Mario has to save the day. Gameplay  The gameplay is good just like its predecessor. I like that you can basically go through all 6 zones in any order you like. The controls feel better than the first game, which felt more stiff. The controls now feel more fluent.   Graphics The graphics look much better in this game compared to the last. The characters look way more detailed especially Mario. The developers really enhanced the graphics in this game.   Conclusion In conclusion, Super Mario Land 2 is an amazing game. Especially compared to the first game. I give it a 9.5/10. It truly is a must have for any Gameboy collector, if you don't already have it The End Remember to have a great day.  And follow me on Twitter at @Diskun86
