Thrift Store Find: Bonkers!
This weekend my family and I took a ride to visit a few local thrift stores. Most of the stores in my area are Goodwill stores with a few independent stores mixed in. While all of the stores are donation based as far as stocking their shelves go some are better than others when it…
Gaming From The Past: Dragon Strike
Dragon Strike is a game from TSR that was released in 1993. It included a very cheesy VHS tape and a bunch of miniatures. Clearly designed to do battle with the HeroQuest games this one never took off.On its own it’s not a terrible game but there was so much better stuff on the market…

In my search for Power and Weakness (JKLM Games and FRED, 2007 – Andreas Steding), I noticed that it’s the only game with the word “weakness” in the title.

Game Review: Pink Godzilla Dev Kit
I really didn’t know what to think of Pink Godzilla Dev Kit (Pink Godzilla Co, 2006 – Christopher Rama Rao) when I received it in the mail. I did a little research on the internet and discovered the Pink Godzilla is a rather active video game store in the Seattle area – and had produced…
