Now that the Nintendo Switch is out, I keep hearing that the Nintendo Switch performs so much better than the failed Wii U. Failed Wii U ?!? In my opinion the Wii U is everything but a Failure. In fact, there is no “great” or “failed” console, it’s the games that are running on it …

It’s 2017, and everyone is excited about 4K Gaming, except a few fellows who enjoy “Retro” Games. People like myself enjoy Games from the NES/SNES Era, when the optimal resolution was 240p. With today’s standards, we expect modern Hardware (like the Raspberry Pi) to output video via a digital interface (HDMI) in 1080p (FullHD) minimum. …

Since Childhood, I loved to take my GameBoy on Holiday Trips to enjoy Video Games. This hasn’t changed much, except now I’m also taking my Music and Movie Libraries with me. The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful piece of Hardware to do exactly this. I have 2 micro SD Cards, one is setup with Lakka …

My son and I like to play Video games together. We are currently enjoying Paper Mario: Color Splash when I was very pleasantly surprised by a twist: You play a level taken right from Super Mario Bros. 3 (yes, the NES one), but “Paper-Mario-Style”, including rotating views to discover hidden paths. (You’re going to use …

I like to play old games. But i also like the “features” of the latest Video Games like Achievements (or Trophies, if you will). During many months, I’ve been using a custom php script to display my latest achievements from retroachievements.org. This script was embedded in this site through an iFrame. This is pretty insecure …
