DS/DSi Classic Sequels '09
The DS & DSi seem like super advanced handhelds, but many features got their start with their past systems. The dual screens came from the Game & Watch, the camera originated with the Game Boy Camera, even wireless was first in the Game Boy Color's infrared sensor. With all that's grown out of systems from the past, it's no surprise Nintendo's 2009/2010 releases are heavily dipping into their retro gaming hits from the past to bring a slate chock full of sequels to their classic game franchises.

Killer Shark - Arcade Shooter
Just a year after video games made their debut in arcades, SEGA unveiled the first coin-op cabinet to star the most terrifying aquatic terror, the Killer Shark. While this light gun arcade shooter gained considerable notoriety from its cameo in Steven Spielberg's classic monster shark movie JAWS, it turned out that Killer Shark was actually not a video game at all, but a mechanical achievement in coin-op animation.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Michel Jackson is known for a lot of things, being a talent musician, revolutionary dancer and having a zoo in his front yard, yet one of his least touted achievements was his work as a game designer. Not only were there versions of Moonwalker for Arcades and Consoles, there is also a computer version that had nothing to do with MJ, aside from his name and likeness.

Spy Hunter Arcade Game Profile
When Spy Hunter first hit arcades in 1983, no gamer had ever seen a driving or shooter game like it. An instant hit, Spy Hunter has become a staple of Midway Games arcade classics, and although it has gone through several remakes and sequels, none of its descendents hold a steering wheel to the original.

Dragon's Lair DVD Game Review
Journey through a dark wizard’s castle, escape deadly traps and battle monstrous minions on a quest to save the beautiful Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe in the closest you’ll get to playing the original Don Bluth animated Dragon’s Lair arcade game at home. Although the DVD game uses a far more advance technology than the original laserdisc game, it still doesn’t beat the original coin-op classic.

Historic Women in Games
The days of the video game business being a boy's club are long over with women now taking charge as some of the industry's top executives, but it wasn't an easy climb. In the '70s and '80s, women had to fight to get their voices heard in the male-dominated business. Those that did made major marks in the industry, not because they are women, but because their innovations and influences changed the world of video games for the better.

Haunted House - Odyssey
Horror and video games have long been entwined, brining all sorts of freaky frights into our homes and arcades. For years there has been a debate over just what was the very first horror game, and I'm about to put the argument to rest. The very first horror video game was, without a doubt, [I]Haunted House[/I]. Not the side-scrolling, multi-screened classic for the Atari 2600, but the screen overlay that came packaged with the Magnavox Odyssey, the world's first video game console.

The debate over the first video game is often argued as being Willy Higinbotham's Tennis for Two (1958), Spacewar! (1961) or Pong (1972), but the graphics based computer game OXO (aka Noughts and Crosses) predates them all. Why does OXO so often get overlooked?

Mario Bros. Brett and Brian
Welcome to the third annual Mario Bros. photo scavenger hunt at the San Diego Comic-Con! This year at the 2009 Comic-Con International, the classic video game pickings were a bit slim, and the Mario costumes were even sparser. By the fourth day I was getting concerned that there wouldn't even be enough to host a photo gallery this year, but just when all hope seemed lost, I came across two pairs of Marios and Luigis. Isn't it just like the Bros. to save the day at the last minute?
