We’re not sayin’ the Mario Mushroom was in need of a makeover, but come on, there have been some pretty ugly signs of aging. A little dust around the edges. Over 20 years of power-up work will do that to you. This precious chart features some cutesy-wootsy geeky makeovers for our favorite power-up in the history of gaming. Now Mario ...

Do you remember the Super Game Boy? Basically it was an official modded cartridge from Nintendo that allowed you to play your Game Boy games on the big screen of your TV, right through your SNES system. Nintendo Age forum user and creator of this awesome mod bunnyboy describes his gadget as “basically the Super Game Boy, without the Super ...

Sure, it might not exist, but somebody should so develop this game and submit to the App Store. Odds are that it wouldn’t be approved because of copyright and all of that jazz, but just on the off chance that it is approved, it would totally be worth the effort. Okay, now I sorta wish Blizzard had been developing games ...

Work it, ladies! Like a pwny, like a pwny! Nothing makes me sweat more then setting up a real life version of one of my favorite retro games, Tetris.

Unfortunately, as a wise frog once said, it isn’t easy being green, especially for this poor car. The Womble Truck might not be the prettiest thing to look at (in fact it might be one of the ugliest), what it lacks in ...

I’ve never wanted to touch a man’s belt this bad. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to touch a man’s anything… ever. But whenever I see a NES controller there’s something instinctual about my brain that makes my hand instantly reach out and tap the buttons, even if there’s no console in sight. Seriously dude, get away from me ...

Some might suggest that Mario is pretty much a cowboy to begin with, sans the hat and horse. But what if the plumber had a change of heart and really did go all wild wild west on us. Well that’s a horse of a different color. Green to be exact. We already know Mario is one hell of a culture ...

WoW addicts will be happy to know that there’s a way to take your addiction to the road. At least that’s what is alleged. Apparently it’s possible to run World of Warcraft on the iPad via Dave Perry’s non-commercial (yet) Gaikai game streaming service, which somehow bypasses Apple’s imprisonment of Flash and combines Java, Flash and Silverlight to create a ...
