Thursday, 08 May 2008

You may recall a few days back we posted Perpetual Luigi and Perpetual Mario, some custom hacked Super Mario World levels where the only way to win is to not play.

Well, now a new Perpetual Mario musical level is out.

It's 11 minutes long, so if you enjoyed the originals, this might be worth your time.

The Multari - Portable Atari 2600 that blows Ben Heck away. Print
Retro

Saturday, 05 April 2008

multari.jpgOne thing that bugs me from time to time is how under appreciated some modders are, or that every piece of work they do gets compared in some way to Ben Heckendorn.

This is an Atari 2600 with 32 built in games made by the same guy who built the L64, and it completely blows the chunky square Atari(s) that Ben Heckendorn has built out of sight.

His name is Marshall Hecht (marshallh), and don't forget it any time soon. 

With skills like this, Ben Heckendorn has a run for his money...

Chances are you've seen the N64 kid around the Internet! If not, you will do in a minute. The Nintendo 64 kid has become a popular Internet fad where a kid opens his Christmas present and has a complete spaz over his Nintendo 64.
