SEGA Genesis NOMAD
July 1st, 2009 by Sean R.
Picked up this classic SEGA GENESIS NOMAD at a local Goodwill for $29.99 USD:
The thing is a huge brick, but it works nicely. The game cartridge I’m showing in the video is the GENESIS 6-PAK that contains the following classic games:
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Golden Axe
- Streets of Rage
- Revenge of Shinobi
- Columns
- Super Hang-On
Apparently the SEGA Genesis NOMAD is really rare. I’ve seen them go for $25.00 USD to over $100.00 USD on eBay, so who really knows?
Anyway, it does have a TV out and a second controller (Player 2) port, but if you plan on connecting it to a TV, why not just use a normal SEGA Genesis?
Microsoft XBLA honoring Michael Jackson
June 28th, 2009 by Sean R.
We’re all still reeling from the passing of the King of Pop, but fortunately, Microsoft’s got a nice memorial for Michael Jackson up on Xbox Live:
This weekend only, the Video Marketplace is giving away the full, ten-minute version of MJ’s classic “Thriller” music video for your viewing pleasure.
Yep, the greatest music video of all time is free to download until the end of the day today.
1984-85 Nintendo NES In-Store Game Kiosk
June 17th, 2009 by Sean R.
An eBay seller says this is a kiosk that was used in stores to sell the Nintendo Entertainment System games back in the day:
Apparently this Kiosk has two NES controllers, a Grey Zapper Light Gun and is loaded with the following 16 classic NES games:
Tennis, Baseball, Soccer, 10-Yard Fight, Golf, Wild Gunman, Hogan’s Alley, Duck Hunt, Wrecking Crew, Excitebike, Kung Fu, Super Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Pinball, Clu-Clu Land, Stack-Up
I already own the actual cartridges for the games on this NES Kiosk, but man, if I had an extra $499.00 USD laying around, I’d probably bid on this auction.
Check out the details on the eBay auction listing.
Atari 2600 Cartridge Remade Into Wallet
June 14th, 2009 by Sean R.
It is $55.00 USD, however, the maker of this fine conversation piece says all of an Atari 2600 cartridge’s parts, except for one screw, are re-purposed to help make it into a wallet.
The maker, Nilesz, is running a win-a-wallet contest over on his site, which of course gives you the info on how to order one.
From his blog, it sounds like he does take mail-in requests, but you need to make sure you’re sending him something usable first.
It’d be geektastic if he could do the old Imagic cases, but the 14 he does offer – including Haunted House, Circus Atari and everyone’s favorite, E.T. – are slick enough.

Conan Addresses Super Mario Backdrop
June 5th, 2009 by Sean R.
You might have heard earlier this week how a website was claiming that Conan O’Brien’s new set looked suspiciously like a Super Mario Bros. level.
Well, tonight on his show Conan addressed the accusations, saying that:
“it’s absurd — there’s no way that you could ever see Super Mario Bros. in this set.”
And then he delivered the punchline, which you can see in this clip:
Anyway, it seems like Conan staged the entire thing, but either way, it’s pretty funny — and a really cool homage to the Nintendo game.

Nintendo: New Super Mario Bros Wii
June 3rd, 2009 by Sean R.
Below is a video from E3 2009 showing the world premiere announcement and demonstration of the new Nintendo Wii game, “New Super Mario Bros Wii”:
The actual gameplay demonstration starts around 2:20 in the video.
What I’m really excited about in this game is the ability for up to 4 players to cooperatively play together in a classic Super Mario Bros setting.
We can expect the “New Super Mario Bros Wii” game to be launched in Christmas 2009. I’ll be pre-ordering for sure.

Polar White Nintendo DS Lite Unboxing
May 27th, 2009 by Sean R.
Below is a video of the new Polar White Nintendo DS Lite I received today. I didn’t do the typical unboxing video with me talking and having issues with the box, etc.
Instead I took pictures of the process, added in some cool visual effects and me playing acoustic guitar over the video. FYI the music was pre-recorded and not played while I was taking pictures 
So the moral of the story? I’m starting to get into making my own videos to post on Modern Classic Gaming. Cool, eh?
Keep your eyes out for more videos coming soon. If you have video requests, please comment below and I’ll see what I can do… and now to go play with my brand spanking new Polar White Nintendo DS Lite…

Colors on the Nintendo DS and DS Lite
May 25th, 2009 by Sean R.
Christian Pearce, illustrator extraordinaire, sees no limits when it comes to his hot rod art, proving that even the touchscreen-enabled Nintendo DS and the homebrew app, Colors can be a deadly combo for imaginative creation:
Christian Pearce isn’t just some random illustrator with a knack for unusual media. The New Zealand-based man has amazing talent as proven by his employment at Peter Jackson’s Weta Workshop, creating the dinosaurs for the most recent King Kong movie.
Weta might sounds familiar to some of you as this is the same production studio that brought us the real-life Warthog, the gun-turret-wielding off-road beast from the popular XBOX franchise, Halo.
Colors! for Nintendo DS requires a homebrew enabled Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite. Download Colors.
