For Love Of The Game Episode 2 – Making Enemies Out Of Friends

Published on August 27, 2010 By stubby

My all time favourite video game industry story starts with the 2 major video game heavyweights of the late 1980’s and early 1990′s, Sega and Nintendo. Sega, back in the day when they actually made consoles, were quite a gutsy and ambitious bunch. They were the first to bring an 8-bit console to the home [...]

We adult nintendo fans don’t have a lot to brag about to our playstation and xbox bretheren. But the few things we can brag about, really do hold a high quality that can not be denied by anyone. Zelda is one, Donkey Kong is another, Metroid is a heavyweight but leading the way is the [...]
