Alien vs. Predator for the Atari Jaguar commercial [I Heart Games]

Ah, the Atari Jaguar… it was a damn good system, I don’t care what you say. There were some outstanding games for it, Alien vs. Predator probably being the best of them. At the time, it advertised that it was 64 bit when most everyone else was still on their Super Nintendo. While not true […]

Seven solid minutes of Mortal Kombat fatalities [I Heart Video Games]

Of course when Mortal Kombat first came out, it wasn’t the groundbreaking gameplay that drew in the crowds– it was the spectacularly awesome finishing moves. If you couldn’t pull of a fatality, preferably several of them per character, you weren’t really a MK player. Like myself. I suck at fighting games, but it was fun […]

Okay, normally, I refrain from posting stuff from Craigslist because well, I don’t know, I just usually don’t. There’s only so many hours in a day. However– this one, considering it’s right in my area, I figure I’d go ahead and post it and see if maybe any IHCers local to the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC […]

Super Mario theme played on wine bottles with an RC car [I Heart Games]

Sigh… yet another instrument you can use to play the Super Mario Bros. theme. Only okay, this one is fairly interesting to the point that I can ignore that they’re playing the Mario theme and grade it an A on its inventiveness and technical skill alone, though I’d rather that people lose the Mario theme […]
