  1. Great segment on the track and field game on NES. I think it was bundled with the console at one point. Great memories.

    Have you ever covered Afterburner on the gaming history? That used to be my favorite arcade game.

    My problem with compilation games for the Wii is that they usually aren’t designed with the Wii controls in mind.

  2. Waiting on games: I do this as well like Mass Effect. I waited long enough it came down to 19.99 and comes with DLC instead of paying the 50 to 60 when it first came out. Hence Fallout 3 GOTY edition comes out this fall with all the DLC.
