nes games

A geeks dream comes true. If you are a heavy collector of old NES, SNES or Gameboy games then you might love the following auctions at eBay by Nintendo of Canada. They apparently discovered a hidden stash of old Nintendo games all sealed and in mint condition and decided to auction them off for a good cause.

The earnings will benefit the United Way. Currently 24 lots with each containing 13-26 mint games are up for auction. The auctions will be running for another five days and are already showing a lot of interest. The highest current price is $1,308.11 (that’s Canadian Dollars) for 18 NES games. Must be a collectors dream.

untangle

Untangle is a classic puzzle game that’s easy to understand, challenging and fun. The objective of the game is to untangle the lines so that no line is crossing another one. The entire game is played with the mouse. Clicking on a node and holding the left mouse button makes it possible to move the node around on the map.

Each node is connected to several other nodes and the main difficulty of the game is to discover those connections and group the nodes accordingly on the map.

The game consists of 17 levels with increasing difficulty. Pretty interesting game that’s quite challenging in the later stages of the game.


Hello people of Take 9. I’m Gnome and I come in peace. Yes, nice meeting you too. Now, watch the video above. Again. Again, I said! Good. Once more. Ok, that’s enough. Now, while flogging yourselves for failing to buy the original Beyond Good & Evil you’ve got to promise humanity you will be supporting Michel Ancel’s next installment in the Jade & Pey’j saga. After all, this BG&E 2 teaser trailer seems so absolutely beautiful, doesn’t it?


I loved playing King’s Bounty on my good old Sega Genesis gaming system. It was just the kind of strategy game with tactical combat that I prefer to play and the new game that will come out later this year will hopefully be a worthy successor.

It will still feature turn based combat which is wonderful. The main map looks pretty much like a Heroes of Might and Magic title which is definitely a good thing. Below are some impressions of King’s Bounty: The Legend.
