You know you remember one or two of these old school handheld games. They're still pretty entertaining (but it helps that I'm miles better than I used to be at them). #

2010.12.31 Lost Levels: The Legend of Zelda Prototype
Somehow these guys got their hands on an early prototype of The Legend of Zelda, and posted it for us all to play with our favorite emulator. Reportedly it's easier… but you can read about all the changes as well. Impressive find. #
2010.06.23 Original Pac-Man Illustrations
Toru Iwatani shares some of his original Pac-Man design illustrations. Pretty interesting and cool to see. #
2010.03.05 Mimeo and the Kleptopus' Ringtones
Bryan Veloso made some ringtones from some prerelease songs from Shaun Inman's awesome (and previously linked) Mimeo & the Kleptopus King. Personally I prefer Jaunt, and have already loaded it on my phone. #
2010.02.24 Mimeo and the Kleptopus King
I'm continually fascinated by the brilliance of Shaun Inman. Seriously. He's such an incredibly talented person, and this, his next project, doesn't appear to be any exception. Instead of the power-ups being provided just to the player (Mimeo), they're provided to the environment as well. #
2010.02.24 Glen Brogan - Return to a classic
At Galleries 1988 a new Glen Brogan print is being made - one that will appeal to the Mario fan in all of us. I might just need to purchase this when it gets released. #
2010.02.15 Magical 8bit Plug
An easy way to make your own 8-bit tunes. This handy plugin easily incorporates into GarageBand - select your instrument, edit it, select magical8bitPlug as the sound generator, and you've got instant 8 bit power. Pair this up with the discovery of Audio Overload (a respectable OS X video game music player). Although AO is nowhere near as good as what I discussed before, the combination of all these things has me hearing/playing/making/editing 8-bit sounding music. #
2009.09.14 Life-Sized PaperCraft Link
Although I thoroughly enjoy the Zelda series of videogames, and think Link is a pretty cool dude, I would never make something like this, no matter how impressive the final product looks. #
2009.06.03 The Beatles: Rock Band Trailer
Add this to the list. This video shows more what the gameplay will look like. I'm thrilled they've historically represented the band members, venues and general feeling that each of the songs and albums had. I tend to feel extremely sorry for people who despise, dislike, or don't fully appreciate the impact The Beatles had on modern music. Basically I just think it shows ignorance… but that's a different rant for a different day. #
2009.06.03 The Beatles: Rock Band Press Conference Trailer
I don't know of another game in recent history for which I have been as excited as I am for this game. I love The Beatles, and I'm really looking forward to playing this game and enjoying the music. #
