Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the NES Title Screen

If you got a knack for the darker side of gaming, you’ll be hard-pressed to find something more rare or butt-crazy than Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the NES. This game is based on a hacked ROM created by Hosekn of USA Co, Ltd that looks and plays like you expect a game of this nature to play: like shit. You are limited enough as is, playing with the NES controller’s two buttons and digital pad, so add on top of that terrible animation and jerky gameplay controls and you are in for a treat.

Papercraft Goomba

Sebastian Zych designed this gorgeous papercraft Goomba from Nintendo 64 and shared the model from all to download and have fun with at the Cut Score Fold and Glue web site. We haven’t tried it ourselves yet (we will!), but you should give it a go and send us pictures to see how handy you are with scissors and glue.

NES Style Left 4 Dead

How you would like blasting 8-bit zombies in the face? You’d like that very much wouldn’t you Mr. Crazed Lunatic. And thanks to Eric Ruth Games you can. Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead is a retro-fied version of Left 4 Dead made to play like a good-ol NES game. From the glitchy NES graphics to the terrific 4 channels of sound music tracks, the game oozes 8-bit charm. It is a bit difficult to play with your keyboard, but if you have a XBOX 360 controller, connect it and have fun.

EVO Tournament Sticks: Pocket Fighter

If you are a true fighting game fan you were at this year’s EVO competition in Las Vegas. If you were a true HARDCORE fighting game fan, you played at the competition with a custom-designed fighting game stick. Our very own Daniel Lopez was a witness first-hand to the plethora of these deliciously-designed fighting game controllers and he snapped some pictures for us to share with you our readers. There is an even an insanely cool fighting game stick featuring the cast of Pocket Fighters with flashing lights (video below). We would like to give credit to the owners of each of these, so if you happen to be one of them, email us by sonic booming our contact button above.

Halo 2600

Atari Halo 2600

When playing Halo on an Xbox 360 just isn’t enough, you can now turn to the 2600. The company Code Mystics has created a fun little distraction called Halo 2600 that mimics the look and feel of an Atari 2600 game based in the Halo universe. You control Master Chief as he makes his way through a level filled with the Covenant.

Play the game here.

Street Fighter Wedding

If you find a girl that is OK with a wedding invitation based on the Street Fighter II fighter select screen you know you have a winner. We don’t know much about the couple other than their names: Joel and Fio. Regardless a large congratulations is at hand. May gaming be a part of their long life together.

Street Fighter Salsa Dance

It is not enough to see Koreans adding spice to their lives with a little Salsa competition, but this couple takes it to another level when they combine Salsa dancing and good-ol’ Street Fighter cosplay. Living in Miami we’ve seen our share of incredible salsa dancers, but we’ve never seen anyone perform in a Ryu or Chun-Li outfit and throw-in Street Fighter moves while they were at it. Kudos to this couple for generating an insane audience response for their performance.

Batman Vs Donkey Kong

Leave it to video game fans to imagine the wildest of cross overs: How about Batman Vs Donkey Kong? Major props to deankotz for this all too realistic comic book cover.

Consollection - History of Video Game Consoles

Patrick, Phil and Stacey has painstakingly put together a visual encyclopedia of all the video game consoles ever released. We were in awe to find out that there has been nearly 150 video game consoles released over the course of the industry’s infant life. The end result is this almost surreal.

Thanks FrankenChez for the tip.

I love this current trend of taking really iconic songs like Metallica’s Master of Puppets and giving it an 8bit remix.
