I decided to change the design on my blog a bit. Make it easier for the reader to find posts by showing previews and also changing to a theme that gave me more room to work with menus ^_^ I hope you will all like it! It might take some time to get used to, feel free to express your opinions! :D
I still have some work to do with the menus, and also the collection libraries since all the Famicom tables got a bit glitchy when I changed.. but I will get that fixed as soon as possible ^^
This weekend I went to a second hand store and found the most awesome thing I’ve found in years!! The second hand stores around where I live never sells games, I usually see antique stores and random charity shops to loot for decorative nonsense, jewelry and interior stuff like furniture and such (yes I do buy other things than games sometimes) ;D
But this time I found something that was completely and utterly useful and fit right into my Retro Room!! A vintage cassette rack box thingy!!
It’s all orange and pretty, which is the color I’ve been using in my gaming room ^_^ It fits right in!! AND now I have a really clever storage for my Commodore 64 games :D
And it looks awesome when it’s filled with some C64 cassettes ^__^
There’s even some room left in one corner so I can buy even MORE games for the C64 :D Any good suggestions of what the must-haves for Commodore 64 would be? ^^
Today the secret prize has arrived to theSegaDude who won the contest!
For those of you who were curious, then here is what it contained! :D
I actually waited until the winner was announced to decide what the package should contain, since I wanted to optimize the prize for whoever would win ^_^ Since theSegaDude is a Sega collector, the price was Sega inspired! :D
First of all a game, that I don’t think he already had in his collection: Tiny Toons Adventure: Busters Hidden Treasure
Then I made SEGA coasters with perler beads! :D
And then I also made a few artworks from Sega characters such as Sonic and Opa-Opa from Fantasy Zone (which is theSegaDude’s avatar) ^_^
Check out the unwrapping of the prize on theSegaDude’s site! :D
2 days ago it was 1 year since I started my site retro-video-gaming.com! I can’t believe a year has gone by so fast!
I would like to thank all my followers and friends that has stuck with me this whole year, and I am happy to have met so many nice retro gaming friends and collectors all around the world! I will continue to spread my love for Retro Gaming on my site for many more years to come ^_^
In celebration of Retro-Video-Gaming’s anniversary I will have a little contest! The contest will be up for 1 week and there will be a winner who will get a secret prize! :D
The question that need to be answered is:
How many Famicom Disk System games do I have?
Everybody gets 1 guess, and the closest answer will win the prize! :D
You can compete by either leaving your guess in the comments here, or on my twitter, tumblr, facebook or instagram! Still you can only have one guess no matter where you leave your answer! ;D
EDIT: I am now ending the competition and announcing a winner! TheSegaDude was the closest at 44, the correct answer is that I have 45 Famicom Disk System games ^_^ I would like to give a big thanks to everybody who joined the contest! I will announce what the secret prize is as soon as it has arrived to TheSegaDude (because I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise) ;D
Sorry for the lack of posts recently but this holiday has been very busy.
Not only celebrating xmas and spending time with family, but also organizing and cleaning games. I bought quite a lot of games from Ebay recently, and I’m still not done scanning and trying them all out yet..
Also today I received an exciting package from Canada!! It was from Alana at retrogamergirl.com ^_^ It contained some 8 bit bead art that she has created:
And lots of games! :D First an ultraman game for the Super Famicom:
And a Kirby Fun Pak game for the SNES:
And also 8 famicom cartridges :D
Apart from my Nintendo 3DS this was the best christmas gift this year :D Thank you Alana!! :D
And not to forget my cute mushroom lamps that I got from my bff ^_^ They fit in perfectly in my Retro Room!
THEY GLOW!!! :D
