Gamecube : Korean Master-List !

Posted on 3 May 2012 by Dentifritz

This is the tenth anniversary of the GameCube in France ! I seized the opportunity when the GameCube occupies minds to present an exclusive list and asked me several months of research : the master list of games released in South Korea. After talking with a Korean collector and scoured many blogs of retro-gaming in this country I think I can say today that the list is complete ! The “Full-setters” be happy, since it does not count that 27 titles… Unfortunately, like the iQue GBA games, they will be quite hard to find. Continue reading →

Deco : Posters Pour la Gaming-Room !

Posted on 21 September 2011 by Dentifritz

Although I did not make use of the lucky ones who can devote an entire room to their passion (at least, yet ^ - ^ ), I still appropriate a corner to play and store my games in one room of the house (that doubles as a music room and guest bedroom…). The walls of this room until being pure white, I thought fit to make a touch with a few new posters found for USD and licenses from the coolest Nintendo.

Posted on 5 September 2011 by Dentifritz

Who has not in his collection at least one cartridge or console, a joystick or keyboard, affected by syndrome yellowing plastic ? I think everyone sees what I mean and I must say that it sometimes reaches incredible proportions, particularly with equipment brand Nintendo. The reasons for this are not very clear : A cigarette smoke ? Heat ? Humidity ? Temperature variation ? Some say it comes from the composition of flame retardant plastic that react to heat… Forget the methods charlatants (toothpaste etc.…), because after several years of research, small chemists have finally developed a mixture to get it all : le Retr0bright ! (with a “zero” and not “the”).
