Hoo boy, been a while. Let me briefly say, November and December sucked personally, and I found it hard to get back into blogging and making YouTube videos after I lost my momentum. But here's my attempt at getting back into things.

As you may know, Mickey Mouse went public domain as of January 1, 2024 in the US, along with the cartoons Steamboat Willie and Plane Crazy. (For a comprehensive look at what that means, and what the public now has legal access to, check out this great writeup by Jennifer Jenkins at the Duke Center for the Study of Public Domain, Mickey, Disney and the Public Domain) Back in November I had the idea that it would be cool to make an NES game of Mickey Mouse and get it ready to release shortly after his release from copywrite. My plan originally was to start the game in November, and then with luck, since it was going to be very short, have it ready to go on New Years Day or shortly thereafter. But like I said, November and December kind of sucked, and I was not able to get motivated to make it. But shortly after New Years I started feeling like it was worth it to give it a try, and so for the past few months I have been working on the game!

Let's Go Retro! continues with Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers for NES, which I divided up into two parts, both are below for your viewing pleasure. I got a little silly on the opening to the second part, forgive me! [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coZCSe_vqWQ&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfAZ2YiWXys&w=854&h=480]

One thing I didn't mention in my post that may be of interest to some people out there is that these games are all available to download for free online! Al Lowe, who many of you know as the guy who made the Leisure Suit Larry games for Sierra back in the day, was also the designer of the three games I spoke of in my post, with the exception of the Winnie-the-Pooh game, where…

Wow, sorry for the lack of updates lately, guys. School work has really taken a lot of my free time up. But I found a good solution/cop-out for a new post, putting up a paper I wrote for one of my library classes last term, which was for my Resources for Children class. We had to go back to something we remembered as impacting us as children and evaluate it. Since we were allowed to…

Yes, I played the game with the paintbrush nunhcuk  So wow, I can’t remember the last game I played with reviews as scattered as they are for Disney’s Epic Mickey! Giant Bomb gave it a 2 out of 5. X-Play gave it a 5 out of 5! Who to believe?? Well, I’ve just finished the game myself, and I would definitely agree with Adam Sessler’s review over at X-Play and his 5 out of 5.

Recently I purchased a Sega Genesis from a local used game shop so I could finally play some of the games that as a kid were denied to me and my Super Nintendo lifestyle. For the most part I’ve played many of the games I looked at with quiet longing when there were released on the PS2 and PS3 as part of the Sega Genesis Collection and Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, respectively. I’ve long ago…
