RetroBlast! Review: Legacy Engineering Group's Classic USB Joystick Controller

If you’re like me, you’ve bought your share of retro game bundles for the P.C. or tested the emulator scene, only to be disappointed that the games you played in your youth are not as fun when playing with a keyboard or modern joypad. Even though I had bought various bundled packages, such as The Activision Anthology, or Atari 80 Games in One, these games would wind up gathering more dust than play time as I would head back over to my faithful 2600 to get my 8 bit fix. I had pretty much written off emulators like Stella or Z26 because the nostalgic fun factor wasn’t there for me. In my mind, it was either real hardware or nothing. This was until Curt Vendel of Legacy Engineering Group contacted us at Retroblast about a new product L.E.G. had for the retro-gamers out there.

Dragon's Lair HD-DVD Review

Courtesy of GameRoom Magazine and just in-time for your Christmas wish-list, here is the Dragon's Lair HD-DVD review from the current (December) issue of GameRoom...

"Dragon's Lair: the fantasy adventure where you become a valiant knight on a quest to rescue the fair princess from the clutches of an evil dragon."

That might sound like the intro to a lame Saturday morning cartoon, but for many arcade kids out there the arrival of Dragon's Lair (and its lame intro voice-over) is a landmark memory. Seemingly out of nowhere, a game of a completely higher caliber landed at their local gaming haven and despite costing 50c per game players unloaded their pocket-money. Dragon's Lair took arcades by storm; it was so successful that I've heard tales of arcade operators installing additional monitors above the cabinet, so the crowds waiting for their chance to play could watch in awe. Looking back and comparing Dragon's Lair to its contemporaries, it is still hard to believe that this game was in arcades back in 1983.
