Big Win for Nostalgia

Game is a blast. It's the exact game I loved on the first xbox, prettier. The menus are arguably worse than the original's, but it doesn't change the game. If you missed out on the first Fable, or if you loved it... this is a no brainer.

I've had lots of fun with this collection! It brings back good childhood memories playing the original Mega Man games on the NES and how my brothers and I would compete to see who was better.

I enjoyed this video cause of the nostalgia of seeing the old games being reviewed by people that share the same enthusiasm and joy for video games as myself.
I also like the humour and the creative thinking behind all of the reviews, even though it was a low budget show they really made the most of it.
Luckily the game room still lives on through youtube.
All hail Lord Karnage!

For those of us who are old enough to remember what the magical key to the magical door of the wonderful Magic Toy Shop was, this is a fun trip back into time.  All of your favorite old personalities are here in photos . . . The Play Lady, Salty Sam, Baron Deamon, Mister Trolly,  Miss Cathy, Dr. E. Nick Witty (can you believe that I just "got" that name only a few years back?), and all your local news anchors.  I worked with some of these people for years, and it was nice to see them again in their heyday.  Great behind the scenes shots too.  Well done, guys!

* Spoken by the cast of The Magic Toy Shop just prior to a cartoon.  It was the cue to the director to roll the film!

I decided to buy this on a whim when I was topping up my cart to get free delivery, but I feared it could not live up to my childhood memories of the series.

I was wrong, this series is still great today, and despite its age, it still has the same allure on kids as it did when I was young: my six year old son loves it.

Looks great, sounds great - definitely worth picking up.

Enjoyed it quite a bit.  Finished in three sessions.  Pushes all the right nostalgia buttons for those os us who grew up in the 80's and were "nerds" or "geeks."

Vecchio did a marvelous job in resurrecting my boyhood dreams, memories, and yes--horrors. Although I grew up in the chaotic sixties as opposed to the fabulous fifties, I was able to reminisce fully in the cultural offerings of that bygone era--from television programming to catholic nuns to youthful indescretions. This book has it all: humor; wit; and even sadness. If you grew up around the '50s or '60s, I highly recommend "Destined For Nostalgia". Vecchio reports that Vol. 2 of his 1950s experiences is in the works--I'll be first in line to buy it!

I am thirtiy-ish, and this book took me back to my childhood, conjuring up vivid memories of forgotten times spent discovering, obsessing, and seeking, when it was simpler but also more difficult to do so. To be a nerd born in the eighties, I guess. I was lucky enough to have a father as a software engineer, and I was able to use many  of the early pc's referenced in the book, played many of he games integral to the storyline, and remember the childlike glee of knocking an opponent off the scoreboard.. These pop-culture, video game, and other nostalgic gems are not merely a gimmick, they are woven into, and advance the plot. The pioneering spirit of the early world of game design, electronic communication, community resonates throughout the book, and hopefully with the reader too

These game bring back the day when a friend and I were standing around the Arcade games in the mall  putting all our money into these games.  Well this game collection delivers. it contains Raiden, Radien: fighters 1 & 2, and radien fighter jet.  For the money these games can give you hours of entertainment and a lot of fun.

The graphics and sounds and music have all been updated over all I would suggest this one even just for the nostalgic days.

When I was young and the original operation game came out I wanted one so bad, but alas my parents always said no. Always. I had a friend who had one, and I remember the thrill of going over to play. The loud buzzer, the bright red nose that lit up. Oh the nostalgia. But, the funny thing about nostalgia, it doesn't always live up to the newest predecessor, happily in this case, my sweet nostalgia was rewarded with this amusing Spongebob Operation game.
My kids were excited to see the operation Spongebob version. The witty little hurt part 'ailments' as I took apart the teeny tiny plastic pieces amused them. The thought of the tweezing of parts intrigued them.
Then things go serious. The buzzing isn't too loud, thankful for that, because some of those tiny plastic pieces were just not going to get picked up, (any tips on getting out the shoe horn? Let me know!) On the bright side because there are an even 12 pieces when my two kids play it's almost always even, every time... except that no one can get the 12th piece, so we always have a winner. The game rules had to be interpreted, they seem simple, but originally they were playing that you kept picking up pieces, as in if it was your turn and you got an ailment without getting buzzed you go to keep going. Which didn't work at all when they would go for the easy to pick up ones first leaving only the more dexterous difficult ones. I read them as one try per turn, you either got buzzed or an ailment and then the play moves on.
My daughter jumps when she gets buzzed, every time, which is pretty funny.
Well worth the low price and easy game play. (Bummed it doesn't come with batteries, and surprised in this day and age it takes TWO AA batteries!)

Amazing nostalgia all over again. The CD came almost like brand new with jewel case and I couldn't help but play the entire day. Highly recommended game if you need an addition to the collection or even if you are starting to collect retro games.
