Straight Up, I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson

OK, so I've been on an 80's video game kick the last few weeks. I so loved me some Mike Tyson Punch Out with Glass Joe, Piston Honda, Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman, my personal favorite - the pec-flexing Super Macho Man, and of course Mike Tyson. Here is a video of the game, and this guy makes it through the entire game getting hit only once... as an added bonus, I had to add the 1989 DJ Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince video for "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson"...

Happy Birthday Atari!

Atari turned 40 yesterday. For me, the Atari 2600 was my first gaming console and will always carry a special place in my heart. I still remember being totally jacked when Pac-Man made it's debut for Atari though I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't even close to the original arcade game. But, that didn't stop me from trying to conquer it along with the likes of Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and Frogger. Here's a few awesome commercials for the system...

80's Video Games Commercials

Every Tuesday throughout the month of September, I'm going to bring you some sweet video games commercials from the 80s... I don't know about you, but video games were a big part of my formative years growing up... it was a simpler, less complicated time with a few buttons, maybe a knob or two, or a joystick... now days, you have 37 different buttons with 96 different options to choose from in 237 different modes... I'm trying to keep up! Anyway, hope you enjoy the flashback to some of these great games... here are some of my favorite video games on the Atari 2600 from back in the day... I had all of these games at one time...
