I feel like I've been a retro gamer as long as it was even possible to be one. When Super Nintendo was still the biggest thing out there and we were excitedly waiting for Nintendo 64 to drop, I would frequently stop in at my local Funcoland. Their trade-in and used game prices would change every month, and each month they had a newpaper-like print of every game that was available, how much it sold…

This will just be a video dump of the recent Let's Go Retro! episodes as of late. To get in the Christmas spirit I played some Home Alone for SNES (3 parts) and NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhi5yPIjtM&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGsNffWi1fo&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXoKVOCy58&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1UA5f09PLk&w=854&h=480] Then that was followed up with some E.T. on the Atari 2600: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ5A5PqCygU&w=854&h=480] And then finally Battletoads on the NES: [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guk2OoxBFDE&w=854&h=480] [youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2uyC0NIH0&w=854&h=480] The new "let's play"-style of videos are certainly much easier and faster to record, so…

A new Let's Go Retro! And I'd have an even NEWER one, if I didn't lose the audio partway through recording...then realize that I'd never hit record for the video. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait for Battletoads another day! For now, enjoy Popeye for NES, an often overlooked classic by Nintendo!

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]

So PAX East has come and gone, and while there was a ton of awesome stuff I saw and played and sat it on, one of the biggest surprises was Capcom announcing their HD remake of Ducktales. People, I can not stress enough how huge of a Ducktales fan I am, even to this day. I have the cartoons on DVD. I have Scrooge figures, reprints of Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge comics, the hardcover collections…
