That’s right im back with a LOOK BACK at another classic game. Once again I’ve picked a sports game.
Its June now and as we all prepare to kick off this summer of 2010, there are a few thing we Americans can appreciate. Beer, BBQ’s, trips to the beach and of course baseball. Many people know that I’m heavily into baseball (heck I work in it). I could spend all day and night talking about baseball but this is a video game site.
There have been many baseball video games made in the past 20 years. Most get lost in time and forgotten after the new version/season comes out. Very few of these games get remembered. One such game is R.B.I Baseball for the NES.

Throughout the article i will be examining the games history, development and its impact today. So don’t pull a Jim Joyce and miss the jump for this article below. :P
Due to legal reasons I can't make this song available for download.
Since I'm sure someone will ask me what my favorite 5-key beatmania song is, I thought I'd take this opportunity to answer that with this week's 'I love that song!' selection, a remix of the Metal Gear Solid theme specially redone for beatmania: BEST HITS on PSX. It certainly captures the feel of playing as Solid Snake as he sneaks into Shadow Moses in an attempt to stop the latest incarnation of the infamous Metal Gear walking death tank!
Interesting bit of trivia this song did make an appearance in beatmania when it debuted on the PS2, and even featured an all-new exclusive video!
Hello and welcome to a new section here at OLR called Video Stumble!
This section will be dedicated to interesting, amazing, or just plain funny video game related videos!
On this first article we will watch a 2 part video about the many console ports Street Fighter II had on consoles, including Turbo, Champion Edition, and Super. Some are good, like the SNES and Genesis ports, some look really bad. But it is also interesting to see the changes made from the original arcade intro and the different variations of the intro music, some are pretty cool to hear. And you'll be surprised at some of the ports made, especially the last one considering the year of its release.
Click on the "Read more" link to watch the 2nd video and a little bonus one.
Welcome to the first installment to kick off BEMANI month here on Retro Rearview! This first article is going to talk about the game that more or less started the music game craze, at least for Konami (there were a few games that came out before beatmania did, like Parappa the Rapper and possibly even the original Bust-A-Move (Suffice it to say I'm not referring to the US re-title of Puzzle Bobble.)
So hit the jump for the rest of this look back at one of the world's first music games!
