There is a Famicom version of it coming up, by the way.<br /><br />I am greatly partial to Atari's output at this time, it was really a second flowering for the company, which was unfortunately cut short by the debut of Street Fighter II and the advent fighting game craze two years later. I think Rampart, which I have long considered to be the best designed video game ever made, and is pretty damn great even if there's something better, is coming up next year.<br /><br />Zippo Games was actually founded by the legendary <a href="http://www.zee-3.com/pickfordbros/" rel="nofollow">Pickford Brothers</a>, who made Wizards and Warriors II and III, Plok, a number of other games, and much later Wetrix. They're still around, still making games, and are awesome.Rodneyliveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476187929555342435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-31769091189998474652014-11-19T15:58:31.351-08:002014-11-19T15:58:31.351-08:00I... um... tried my hand at Chronogaming once...

He just released episode #17, Pacar, after a 2-month break. You may notice that numbers 5 and 7 in his series seem to be missing. He says that those were Japanese language games that he wanted to study a bit before he tried to make episodes for them.k8tracknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-29031324473496636152014-11-11T05:15:53.675-08:002014-11-11T05:15:53.675-08:00"You mean the CRPG Addict?

Dylan Cornelious who reviewed every US released NES game over on questicle http://www.questicle.net started a chronogaming project last March I believe called Sega Does http://segadoes.com reviewing every game released on a Segalatform in Chronolgical order starting with the SG-1000. Quite a task. He's just into the master system. Also does a companion podcast. Also there was a series doing roughly the same thing started a couple of months later on YouTube called ages of SEGA or something like that but seems to have stopped doing them about 12 games in to the SG-1000. <br /><br />I really hope yputube gets the 60 FPS thing working with all browsers in HTML5. Until then I'm sticking with archive for my primary viewing as a lot of frames and effects go missing, especially on upcoming Mega Drive games as seen when you watch Generation 16 episodes on YouTube.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560711373831583403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-76217886237956621612014-11-09T10:43:55.596-08:002014-11-09T10:43:55.596-08:00"Whatever happened to the dude who did the Go..."Whatever happened to the dude who did the Gold Box AD&D Chronogaming series?"<br /><br />You mean the CRPG Addict?

Also thanks for recommending Jeremy's Gameboy Vids it'll keep me going until my next Chrontendo fix arrives perfectly :)<br /><br />Anyway, I know you were asking for suggestions for other shows. May I suggest a series of TG-16/PCE game reviews called "Turbo Views" although they're not in chronological order, it seeks to cover all the games in Chris Bucci's collection which includes both Hu-Card and CD formats.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107542069260528124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-2720234596517376952014-11-07T06:01:28.698-08:002014-11-07T06:01:28.698-08:00I second the Patreon idea.
