" Essas são algumas raridades que você acha em SP... Imagine entrar em uma loja de videogames e, em vez de encontrar o PlayStation 3 ou o Xbox 360, dar de cara com Super Nintendo, Neo Geo e até mesmo um Atari. Pois é: São Paulo possui pelo menos três locais dedicados exclusivamente a jogos antigos – que, aliás, podem custar tanto quanto um game para a geração atual. UOL Jogos visitou as lojas Museu do Videogame, Trok Games e Vitrine Anchieta Games, e descobriu que não é apenas a internet, em sites de leilões e afins, que guarda um espaço para as “velharias”. E, por incrível que pareça, muita gente ainda compra essas peças de museu.

Não que seja um hobby barato: um Atari de madeira, bem conservado, sai pela bagatela de R$ 800 – pense bem antes jogar seus games e consoles fora da próxima vez.

Pokemon HeartGold Guide & Walkthrough - Nintendo DS. Hold up, buddy. To edit this page, you'll need a username. (It's free and only takes a sec.) Welcome to the Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver Wiki Guide. Back in 2000, some of the most-loved and best-received Pokemon games in history came out for the Game Boy Color. Pokemon Gold and Silver were direct follow-ups to the fabled and outrageously-popular Pokemon Blue and Red, which came out Stateside in 1998, not only revitalizing the stumbling Game Boy in one fell swoop, but forever engraining the importance of the Pokemon franchise to Nintendo and ardent handheld gamers alike.

Fast-forward ten years, and now, we have the much-anticipated remakes of Pokemon Gold and Silver. Our guide covers it all, with a robust basics section, a complete walkthrough that holds your hand through the entire game, and much, much more. So, let's get going! 6 Baffling Early Prototypes of Your Favorite Video Games. Imagine an alternate reality where Mario is packing heat, Link looks like Wolverine and Halo games are all about strategy instead of shooting aliens in the face. All those things were close to happening but were changed at some point, for better or for worse. You be the judge. #6. Super Mario Bros. Was Almost a Shooting Game The Game We Know: If there's one thing Mario does well, it's stomping on shit. Mario showed us how to cut corners. But It Was Almost: Mario was going to shoot the shit out of his enemies. Oh, and he would also be able to punch and kick his enemies when he was empty-handed.

FlasharcadeTurns out those Russian bootlegs had it right all along. And yes, we said "guns," as in more than one: Mario was going to carry a "beam gun," which sounds kind of like what Samus uses in the Metroid games, but then he would also have a freaking rifle. "Is he ... is he whistling 'The Farmer in the Dell'? " us.wii.comSweet revenge on that goddamn Lakitu. Oh wait. #5. . #4. Yes you are, Zelda II. 6 Bizarrely Creepy Moments from the Mario Universe. Super Mario Sunshine -- Bowser and the Princess's Love Affair Here's one of the great unanswered questions in the Mario mythos: who is the mother of all of Bowser's children?

There are eight of them in all, and Bowser bends over backwards to conquer random desert and water kingdoms for them to use as sandboxes. Yet, we've never seen a Queen Koopa. Someone had to spawn these wretched abominations. Super Mario Sunshine addresses this question head-on. In the game, Mario has to rescue Princess Peach (as usual), only this time the kidnapper turns out to be not Bowser, but his previously unrevealed eighth son: Bowser Jr. When asked why he was doing all this crap, he said the reason was because he wanted to protect his mother: Princess Peach.

Bitch is straight-up kinky. And in case you think the boy was just confused or misspoke or that we're taking it out of context, watch the cut-scene yourself: There are plenty of appropriate reactions to a spiked turtle creature claiming you gave birth to him. The 5 Most Insane Alternate Reality Games. The game took off with a bang when, during the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, people found "Jokerized" $1 bills that led them to whysoserious.com, a page advertising jobs for Joker henchmen.

Those eager to be repeatedly punched by costumed vigilantes and/or murdered by their own boss were instructed to be at a certain spot near the convention center at 10:00 a.m. the next day. Upon going there at the allotted time, players discovered a phone number ... written in the sky. "Don't call that, dude -- it's probably Goatse. " Calling the number prompted a recording of a whimpering man being forced to read instructions for what came next: a scavenger hunt.

The fans at Comic-Con were then painted with Joker makeup and sent off to find clues throughout San Diego, having to cooperate with those online in order to solve additional puzzles at the website. Via Batman.wikibruce.com But wait, why would the mob want to kill the Joker? See what would happen if our lives were 24-hour games. 5 Ways to Tell You're Getting Too Old for Video Games. #2. You Think Originality is Dead The complaint is the same on every gaming message board: "Every goddamn game on the planet is a first person shooter.

" They're all Call of Duty (or before that, Halo) clones -- same mechanics, different outfits. Every sports game is exactly the same as the 15 versions of the series that came before it. Innovation is abandoned in favor of tried and true brands that guarantee sales. Shelves are a blur of Mario and zombies. And holy shit, do not get me started on the zombies. It's like being a real cowboy! But the Truth Is... From the first days of console gaming, and we're talking Magnavox Odyssey here, each hit game spawned a shelf full of clones. The industry looked just as cookie cutter then as it does now. Via Techeblog.com"Oh, mom, you really are too good to me! " So now I'm approaching 40, and I often am surprised to find games I had been anticipating suddenly show up on the shelf. But me? Via Vgmuseum.comSHUT UP, A MAN HAS NEEDS !

#1. The 6 Most Insane Video Games About Dating. Dating video games are hugely popular in Japan: They're text-heavy games where each click brings you a little closer to either getting to see some cartoon porn or ending up in a "game over" screen (and then seeing that cartoon porn on Google anyway). The stories always involve a childhood friend you secretly lust for, a wise character with glasses who gives you advice (that you secretly lust for) and, this being Japan, a healthy dose of insanity. Some of these games take that last part a little too far, though, leading to some very confusing boners. Like ... #6. School Days -- Piss Off Your Girlfriend, Cause a Bloodbath School Days is a popular erotic "visual novel" that inspired various spin-offs across different media -- including Cross Days, the game you can play with a literal cock control and which outs you as a pervert if you try to pirate it.

Most of us have become completely numb to the weirdness of video games. From the 1970s on, it's been like "So he's a yellow circle being chased by ghosts while he eats? Seems pretty straightforward. " Yet there has always been an underground video game scene where the truly messed-up stuff lives. You'll find it in Japan. That's where they have games like ... #6. Via Wikipedia In 1986, the company that created Space Invaders teamed up with Japanese actor, director, comedian, poet and badass "Beat" Takeshi Kitano to create a game for the Nintendo Famicom based on his ideas. If you ever select the second option, Kitano flips you off and the cartridge wipes itself. Takeshi's Challenge takes place in a city where everyone hates you, but that's OK, because you hate them, too: The game gives you the ability to repeatedly punch everyone you come across into a bloody pulp, from defenseless women and old men to violent cops and yakuza.

The Darkness On the other hand, The Darkness proved that you don’t need to relate TV to your material in order to make it an effective device for telling your story. Sometimes, as demonically possessed mob hitman Jackie Estacado showed us, it’s all about what’s happening around the TV. Take, for example, one of the game’s most poignant scenes, in which Jackie simply sits on the couch next to his girlfriend, Jenny. The Darkness uses TV as more than just a backdrop for one of the most relatably emotional scenes of the current console generation, though. Sure, they were just low-fi video clips, but they were visible throughout the world, and they were there in full – which was more than most other games had attempted in 2007. Oh, well.

The 5 Ballsiest Easter Eggs Hidden in Video Games. #2. Overworked Programmer Turns Helicopter Game into Gay Celebration Before the wildly popular SimCity game series transitioned into the even more wildly popular The Sims , their creators at Maxis tried out about a dozen other "Sim + some other word" combinations to see if they caught on. They did not. SimFarm failed because it lacked the option to annoy your family and friends with invitations. The best known of that bunch is SimCopter , but not for the reasons Maxis intended. The game, released in 1996, allowed you to fly through pixelated cities of your own design with a helicopter, doing things like rescuing people trapped on rooftops, putting out fires, stopping riots ... or watching muscular half-naked men with fluorescent nipples making out with each other. We're not sure who that dude in the gray hoodie is, but we'd bet money he's taken a human life. This last part wasn't fully intentional, it turns out.

Which explains the mysterious bulge in the girl on the right. #1. The 20 Worst NES Games of All-Time. Seanbaby writes a weekly column here every Thursday.

Athena struggles to hold her grotesquely large head up as she prepares to bonk her menacing enemies with her blue-ladle-wooden-driver thing. Fun: 1 Athena is bored for a reason.

Historical Accuracy: 10 Fun: 0. 6 Acts of Real-Life Heroism Made Possible by Video Games. As Cracked has pointed out before, mankind is just now coming around to the idea that video games might actually be good for something after all. We need these stories to counterbalance two decades of claims that games brainwash kids into going on shooting sprees, and after having watched many friends abandon their social lives in favor of grinding for XP. Remember, games are neither good nor evil -- it's all in what you do with them.

That was the only way game designers of the Nintendo Entertainment System and SNES days could extend the play time: through mindless, frustrating repetition. These are the 10 games so infuriating, their very mention makes the hairs stand up on the back of our necks. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out The premise: A ludicrously undersized boxer makes his way through a swarm of opponents who use the unwise strategy of fighting with a distinctly repeating pattern.

Look at him, it's like he thinks there's a guy out in the audience with a rifle on him. But, when you finally made it to Tyson (or "Mr. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Why it was infuriating: The game had some general weaknesses. 5 Ways to Tell You're Getting Too Old for Video Games. We tend to be very critical of the video game industry here at Cracked, and damn it, the industry deserves it. They charge more per-copy of their product than any home entertainment medium, and are always looking to squeeze us for more. If they don't like being held to a high standard, tough shit. But ... a lot of the bitching I hear about games (some of which I hear out of my own mouth) isn't really about the games.
