2008-06-27 15:32:09 by Editor in VirginWorlds MMO News
...nostalgic. Like a lot of people, I'd applied to the beta program and would compulsively hit the refresh button on my webmail client whenever Kevin O'Hara (Q3PO) sent out the "we added more testers" e-mails. On February 18, 2003 (clearly, I keep too many e-mails to pull that one up) I got my acceptance letter and promptly ordered the CDs Read...

What makes a game retro?

The Article has images
2008-04-20 19:29:51 by Danny Morgan in That VideoGame Blog
...nostalgic objects that were considered unfashionable at some point can suddenly become popular and the masses surge to buy them. Think lava lamps, classic Minis or 60s designer chairs. None of these were an instant hit but have become popular in latter years. The same can and has happened to games. What may have been, at the time, quite good...

The Article has images
2008-05-18 23:25:27 by Daniel in DP's Gamer Blog:: Mighty Pirate!

Not all old game music is nostalgic simply because its old. It all depends on the player and their past experiences. For example, I would find the music from...

2008-02-25 08:00:00 by Drew Taylor in GameSetWatch
...nostalgic for late 70s and early 80s toys such as the Speak & Spell because they have more open electronics; there are so many more bends in these toys for hackers For a moment I forget that Nick's talking about 'music'. His choice of words highlights the potential for Toydeath's sound massacre to hold an even greater emotional significance...

See a new trailer for Halo 3's Legendary map pack

The Article has images
2008-04-03 00:00:00 by Justin McElroy in Joystiq
...nostalgic, and it's not just because two of the three maps are remakes! The trailer reminds us of the mid-autumn media frenzy that was the Halo 3 launch, with all its glitz and splendor. Those were high times for the video game blogger Back then it was just "OMG, this is new media for Halo 3! Consume!" You didn't have to worry about what you...

...nostalgic rush moments. It's been great. I live for those nostalgic rushes. As for the song, I used the game music as direct inspiraton, which used to be the only way I made these videos. The reaction has been so positive, I think I'll return to that style. What do you think

Games time forgot: Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose

2008-05-06 11:15:12 by Destructoid.com in Destructoid - Hardcore video game blog
 
...nostalgic for the crappy source material it was based on You're both wrong. Well, admittedly, the first person is more wrong than the second person (I am quite nostalgic for Tiny Toon Adventures , thank you very much). Still, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose , developed by Konami for the SNES, was probably one of my favorite titles...
