Flashback Attack: Vegas Dream
Title: Vegas Dream
Version Played: NES (1988)
Vegas Dream is sort of a weird game, even by today’s standards. Actually, especially by today’s standards. Part of what makes it so weird is the fact that it was developed by HAL Laboratories. That’s right, the guys that would go on to make Kirby, Earthbound and Super Smash Bros at one point in their past made what amounts to a gambling game.
Real Life, 23-Year-Long Game of Tag to be Turned into Film

Flashback Attack: Super Baseball 2020
Title: Super Baseball 2020
Version Played: Super Nintendo (1993)
I’ll be honest, I’ve never really been a big fan of sports games. Some of my disinterest might stem from the fact that I'm not much of an athlete. When I was younger, though, I did play baseball for quite a while and I’ve had a bit of an affinity toward the sport, video games included. Needless to say, Super Baseball 2020 caught my eye because hey it’s a baseball video game – SET IN THE FUTURE!

Flashback Attack: Sonic Adventure
Title: Sonic Adventure
Version Played: “DX: Director’s Cut” Release for the Gamecube
At this point, I think most people probably have a good idea of what consoles I owned and played on primarily through my early teens. Yes, up until I got my first Xbox (in a radio call-in contest, no less – I know, right?) I was a pretty hardcore Nintendo fanboy. By the time I really started getting obsessed with video games, though, the Sega/Nintendo console wars were over, and so I had no animosity toward everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog.

Olympic Gymnast Performs to the Music of Zelda
How do you make the Olympics more awesome? Throw some Zelda in there of course. Mexican gymnast Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas apparently perfomed her Olympic qualification routine to the tune of The Legend of Zelda. The arrangement was put together by violinist Lindsey Stirling (perhaps best known for that dubstep violin song, Google it, it's great). You can watch the routine, and listen to the music by itself, below.
