Welcome to the stage of history...

This is the homeblog of 747 MHz, the retro gaming club of KTXT 88.1 in Lubbock, TX. We play a game for a week, then get drunk and discuss it. If you have the original hardware and game, then great, but if you don't, then you'll need the system emulator. I'll provide links to the roms each week. You may also want to try FireNES, a NES emulator for Firefox that comes with about 100 games. There are also emulators for iPhone and various other machines. I'll leave it up to you to track those down.

All styles of play are encouraged. Play to win. Play to get everything. Speed-run. Cheat. Sequence break. The idea is to experience the game, paying attention to gameplay mechanics, level-design, art, music, bad/awesome translations, use of tropes, and what have you. These are little pieces of our pasts, and every now and then it's fun and education to pull them out, blow the contacts, push them up, down, up, reset, down, up, updownupdown and re-experience them.
