Doom of the Vuvuzela

Comrade Chez — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 09:57:09 +0000

It’s been some years since I last saw the opening of Doom II – and never before like this! Umm… kudos to the author? Reminds me a bit of this reworked trailer for Invictus.

Super Mario Bros Crossover

Comrade Chez — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 06:56:49 +0000

You might already be familiar with Super Mario Bros. Crossover, a flash game created by Jay Pavlina over at Exploding Rabbit, that allows you to play Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo, with many other famous characters from classic games. These excellent little demo videos made by the developer show off what it’s all about, but are worth watching for the comical play-acting of the creator.

The 8-bit Armageddon

Comrade Chez — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 10:17:12 +0000

Fitting in with the apparent retro 8-bit feel around here, this is a pretty creative little video, featuring the city of New York under attack from the best of the 80s!

Dark Side of the Moon: For the 8-bit generation

Comrade Chez — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:21:29 +0000

In keeping with the random retroness that appears on this site occasionally, here’s a special little post celebrating the release of Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side of the Moon… in all-new 8-bit glory! You can find the rest of the album re-written for NES here.

Left 4 Dead: 8-bit

Comrade Chez — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:43:02 +0000

Finally, a version of Left 4 Dead that will run smoothly even on this machine! With today’s release of Left 4 Dead 2 obviously stealing all the limelight, I thought it only fair to spread a little love for this rather amusing creation from Eric Ruth. Just turn the clocks back twenty years and imagine the hype that would’ve surrounded the release of Left 4 Dead in 8-bit fashion, this is what is rather modestly termed a ‘de-make’ of the original. Slated for free release in January, and including all of the maps and monsters of the original, be sure to check it out!

Street Fighter in 15 pixels

Comrade Chez — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:56:07 +0000

Gaming minimalism at its finest. I don’t imagine there are too many games out there that could be played with just 15 pixels, but here’s Street Fighter in lite/light mode. Reminds me of the graphics settings I used to use for Counter-Strike.

Star Fox in Iraq

Comrade Chez — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:57:23 +0000

Ever wondered what it would be like if the average pilot had to contend with wingmates like those in Star Fox? No, neither have I, but this little video from College Humor shows how it might go. Presumably if it weren’t a bombing mission, he’d have been left out on a limb hoping there’s a checkpoint nearby.

Do a barrel roll!

Sonic vs Pacman

Comrade Chez — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:32:02 +0000

Alternative history: if Sonic had been around when Pacman was at the height of popularity, would gaming ever have been the same?

8-bit Trip

Not sure about them being masters of the 8-bit era, but they’re certainly dab hands with Lego!

Crazy gaming video

One of the gaming world’s most unlikely pairings? You decide, though a little viewer discretion is advised.
