Gaming on the Original Mac 128k

By Mr. Mayor

Take a step back in time to the original Mac 128k system. In this video the author demonstrates the games Pong, Missle Command and Megaroids. I can remember playing these games in the computer lab back in junior high!

Game Review: BOOM From Factor Software

By Mr. Mayor

BOOM From Factor SoftwareAfter installing BOOM and running the game, I immediately thought of the old Bomberman games for the vintage NES systems I used to play. It definately has that look and feel of the 8-bit console.

Factor software describes the game as ‘Bomberman meets Doom’… and I think they’ve got it right on. The look and gameplay is almost exactly like Bomberman, while the enemies within the game have a ‘Doom’ feel to them.

The controls are simple. Use the arrow keys to navigate around the screen and collect the coins. (more…)
