One of my favorite PC games of all time, Giants: Citizen Kabuto, is being offered to download at GOG.com for free this weekend.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto was published by Interplay in the early 2000s. It was the first game made by Planet Moon Studios, a ragtag group of game developers who would go on to be known for games like Armed and Dangerous and Infected.  The reason I believe this game still stands out after all these years is its humor, this game is just hilarious and it still holds up even to this day.

The thing everyone likes about GOG.com is that the vast majority of the games purchased through the site can be downloaded without any restrictive DRM, ensuring that the software will continue to work for as long as you keep it on your Hard Drive.

So give the site a look and don’t forget to pick up this game. You won’t be disappointed.

Gaming History You Should Know – The NES Expansion Port December 11, 2015

As I was only a child in the early 90s I fondly remember owning an original model Nintendo Entertainment System. While the machine was based on inexpensive technology, it was quite ahead of its time.  Not only did the console come equipped with RCA Video and Audio outputs as standard, something that only extremely expensive TVs of the time could make use of, anyone who took a good look at the console could find an interesting custom expansion port on the bottom of the console. This port was never used by any official NES peripheral and did not get included when the NES was redesigned as a top loader, so what was it meant for?

Rinry, over at the YouTube Channel RinryGameGame, broke the silence about what the plans were for this mysterious port.
