The original Sony PlayStation, launched in 1994, was like a magical box of pixie dust and rainbows for gamers around the world. Imagine a sleek, gray spaceship that landed straight from Planet Awesome, equipped with a controller that looked like it could double as a boomerang in a pinch. This legendary console was the life of the party, introducing us to CD-based gaming, which was like trading in your tricycle for a rocket-powered skateboard. It had more bits than you could shake a stick at—32 of them, to be exact—and boy, did those bits make a difference! The PlayStation brought characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon into our living rooms, turning us all into couch-bound adventurers and heroes in our own right.

And let’s not forget the PlayStation’s greatest trick: the memory card. This little piece of wizardry was about the size of a pack of gum but could hold onto your precious game saves like a digital dragon guarding its hoard. You could swap them with friends, ensuring that your gaming legacy lived on in multiple households. The PlayStation also had the audacity to introduce us to the magical world of FMV (full-motion video), making us believe that our TVs were secret portals to another dimension. In short, the original Sony PlayStation was the gaming equivalent of discovering that your boring old lunchbox was actually a transformer with a built-in laser show.

Video 0 Comments

Here’s a “best of” marathon of 6 PS4 gaming videos. We talk about 33 PlayStation 4 Hidden Gems plus 14 Arcade Shoot ‘em Ups and I share some rare developer PS4 game controllers at the end. Tons of great PS4 content here, so check it out! WATCH >> https://youtu.be/qcMCbDIqdws

Why does the PS4 rock? Glad you asked! Released in 2013 by Sony, the PS4 is like that cool, well-dressed guy at a party who knows just how to entertain you and make you feel at home. With a sleek design, powerful hardware, and a library of games that could make a hermit say “social life who?” the PS4 has been a hit among gamers worldwide.*

Key Features:

1. Graphics So Realistic They Could Make Your Grandma Mistake Them for a Soap Opera:
The PS4’s graphics are top-notch, making characters look so real you half expect them to walk out of the screen and ask you for directions.

2. The Controller:
The DualShock 4 controller is ergonomic, responsive, and has a nifty little light on the back. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of game controllers, minus the ability to open a can of beans.

3. Remote Play:
Ever wanted to play PS4 games on the toilet? Well, with Remote Play, your dreams have come true. You can now be a hero in your living room and a villain in the bathroom, seamlessly.

4. Games Galore:
From “God of War” to “Uncharted,” the PS4’s game library is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of digital awesomeness. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into action, adventure, or just want to play a game where you pretend to be a goat (yes, that’s a real thing).

5. Online Play:
Join a game of “Call of Duty” online and get mercilessly schooled by a 12-year-old who uses words your parents don’t approve of. PS Plus is your ticket to this humbling experience.

6. VR Compatibility:
The PS4’s virtual reality setup lets you strap on a headset and escape reality. Because who needs to deal with real-life problems when you can fend off zombie hordes in VR?

7. Media Center:
It’s not just a gaming console; it’s also a Netflix machine, a YouTube browser, and a place to pretend you’re going to use the fitness apps but never actually do.

The PS4 is like that trusty dog that’s always there for you after a long day, offering you endless entertainment, companionship, and the occasional frustration when things don’t load fast enough. It’s the ultimate gadget for those who believe that reality is overrated and virtual worlds are where the real fun begins.

Video 0 Comments

My standup MAME arcade cabinet was last updated back in 2017! So, today we upgrade the computer, software and add a monitor that can rotate plus other random aspects. The game room is getting upgraded!

The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) is a software program designed to emulate the hardware of arcade game systems on modern computers. Developed in 1997 by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team, MAME has become the go-to emulator for playing arcade games on platforms ranging from desktop computers to smartphones and even gaming consoles. MAME’s primary purpose is to preserve and document the history of arcade gaming by accurately emulating the original hardware and software of arcade machines. By doing so, MAME allows players to experience a vast library of classic arcade games without the need for original, often rare, arcade cabinets.

MAME supports thousands of arcade games from various manufacturers and eras, ranging from the early days of arcade gaming in the 1970s to more recent titles from the 2000s. Its extensive compatibility and accuracy make it an invaluable tool for enthusiasts, collectors, and historians alike. Beyond gameplay, MAME also serves as a research platform for developers and preservationists, enabling them to study and document the inner workings of arcade hardware and software. Through continuous development and updates, MAME remains a vital part of preserving the rich history and cultural impact of arcade gaming for future generations.
