Ten Minutes over 200 plus Free Indie Games

June 23rd, 2010 | Author: ian.ridgwell

If you’re like me then there’s not much you like more than a strong dose of caffeinated soda pop while watching a geek retro mashup of what made gaming great. Being a geek born in the eighties means I had the best of both worlds. I was alive for the beginning, and yet old enough to get the best out of gaming. Born a few years earlier and I may well have missed the industry in its prime. However being a geek these day’s is hard work. COmpeting with the new generation is a somewhat tiring experience. Competing with the hard-core gamers and the Geek Chic makes me wonder about all the years I spent as a social outcast. Geek is in, and sport is just another aspect of the geek lifestyle.

So for your viewing pleasure ten minutes and over 200 retro games available free right now. Bring back a little nostalgia and enjoy.

Awesome Retro Gaming Montage

December 4th, 2009 | Author: ian.ridgwell

It all begins with Yie Ar Kung-Fu, and from there it only gets more awesome. I first played Kung Fu on my parents Amstrad CPC. So for all you older (not oldest) who want a sentimental trip down memory lane this little gem is a must. If nothing else the fate of poor mega-man cracked me up.
