Game Quickie: Adventure



I originally planned for my second Game Quickie to be about another Atari 2600 game (Berzerk) but had the cute idea for this title card and really wanted Vee to draw it. So I changed my mind completely based on the cute title card. If you do not get the reference you should tune your TV to Cartoon Network and watch Adventure Time on Monday nights.

RetroActive: Dynamite Headdy


Title card made by Vee 

 Another tough one to get out! I spent a lot of time gathering footage and when I went to edit it together I noticed there were an awful lot of scan lines. Testing after testing I came to the conclusion there wasn't much I could do about it. It seems to be an issue with the Genesis 2 I have; I know it has degraded quality then the first model but I never really noticed till now. On my TV it isn't really noticeable (well it is more so now of course because I'm looking for it) but once captured into my computer on the HD monitor, very noticeable. Once again you must live and learn! I haven't done too many reviews with fotoage from a Genesis game and I planned to change that but this may be on hold until I can fix the quality issue (I'd rather avoid emulation). So I may look into getting a model 1 or a clone. Any one wanna help me out? :P

Game Quickie: Star Fox

Check out the classic Super Nintendo game Star Fox in all its 3D polygon glory.


My first Game Quickie! I have been hoping to do one since I first started making Retro Gaming videos. But of course when I started I was not good enough to do one and wasn't part of Retroware. It was shortly after I realized I couldn't do a 6 to 8 min video every week so I decided to do the Shorties to fill the space. I will confess they were both for my sanity and a brown nose/attention grabbing attempt haha. The name was conceived the have something "similar" and kind of a tribute to them and was the best name to describe what they were; plus I thought the name was really catchy with its multiple meanings in culture today. For example as the current slang goes it describes a cute girl and I meant for these to be cute and light hearted more so then the normal episodes.
Anyway as the video says in the beginning Star Fox was a request by fan and friend Ron. I had been putting this off long enough and now here it is! Still really excited to be on Retroware and hope you all enjoy the video!

So this partnership has been in the works for a little while and I am so happy to be apart of the site. It all started with Ben (from VGTO) and I can't thank him enough. So from here on out all RetroActive videos will be posted over at RetrowareTV and I encourage you to go be apart of the site. If you are a Retro Gaming fan it is the site for you. I am still going to be providing content to The Geek Fighters on occasion and am thankful for their help getting me this far. I will still distribute my videos to Youtube so if you subscribe there you will see them; how this is gonna happen is in the works.
