★The Return To Super Video Game Land Part 3★ @AnthonyBulcao #RetroGaming #GamersUnite
There's only one artist that we have found on Twitter who perfectly captures the essence of RetroGaming in every single piece of his work every time.....
We featured +anthony bulcao and the Wonderful World Of "Super Video Game Land" way back in
January & February of this year and since then his following has grown and his artwork has multiplied.
Whenever we plug into the Super Video Game Land Timeline on Twitter we are always greeted by some new artwork that Anthony has created.
It's like Anthony's mind is choc full of the most amazing and memorable moments from Retrogaming history and he has this talent to express them on canvas in a way that portrays the fun that was and is still involved with playing these absolute classics
From Zelda To Mario Kart Anthony has it covered with a beautiful exclusive one off piece of art created on canvas using vibrant colours and really bringing the retrogaming 8 and 16 Bit characters and scenes to life.
We have so much love for Anthony's work and could talk about it all day but we'd like to let AB's work do the talking once again as we treat you to a Super Video Game Land Extravaganza of beautiful artwork!

☆The Retrogaming News Of The Week☆ #retrogaming #gamersunite
So...........
My laptop has packed up.........
Therefore I've gone back to basics as I write this post on my NEXUS 7 ......
Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus but for some reason it doesn't feel right pulling a post together for Games Freezer using it and it also means I've got to use the Blogger app.......
which in my opinion is kind of derisory..... There, I've said it! I've dissed a Google app!!!!
Anyway, back to the matter in hand, I would like to share with you my favourite retrogaming stories from the week so far.......

☆Fallout New Vegas - Game Diary 3 - "Are You A Lock Picker OR A Computer Hacker?" ☆ #GamersUnite
In Fallout the Lockpick and Computer Hacking skills are art-forms…
Lockpick requires a steady hand as you tease the Bobby Pin inside the lock and try and find the right sweet spot to get the lock to open.
The harder the lock the tougher the sweetspot is to find which will get you entry into the forbidden area.
Computer Hacking on the other hand is a test of logic and problem solving as you scan the words and characters for a clue to the terminal password.
Within the jumbled characters and words there are a number of brackets which ,when in the right order and selected, will take away a 'Dud' password or even replenish your guess allowance.
With the guess allowance set at 4 the Computer Hacking is tough nut to crack as you search for that elusive pword and a <> or a ( )
Once you have cracked the code you then get to view the forbidden information that was being concealed away or even sometimes that terminal will give you access to a particular door that you may not otherwise be able to open.

Here At Games Freezer We Are Massive Users Of Wikipedia
Literally every video games article we write utilises Wikipedia in one way or another and therefore it has become an invaluable tool for us to utilise as it covers every facet of Video Games that you can imagine and generally focuses on the facts without the bias of opinion

♡WHAT WAS MY FIRST VIDEO GAMES CONSOLE?♡ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite
At the time when I'd decided that my ATARI 800 XE/XL home computer was no longer C☆☆L
(Oh how wrong was I!!??)
I got it into my head that I no longer wanted a games machine with a keyboard because everyone at school had a shiny new NES and were playing video games like Super Mario Bros, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and Castlevania!
I'm pretty sure that I too wanted,No, Needed! A NES......
BUT......

♡My Love Affair With The SNES♡ #retrogaming #gamersunite @meanmachinesmag
Never before has an inanimate object caused me to fall in love with it…. Never before has an inanimate object demanded that I spend more money on it after I'd already shelled out a small fortune for it in the first place... Never before has an inanimate object brought me so much joy... Never before or since has a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) been bettered in the world of video games...

♥What's Your Favourite Video Games Case Ever?♥ #GamersUnite #RetroGaming
Call us weird.......Go On Then Call Us Weird!!
BUT We Like Video Games Cases......
There we said it out loud.....it's not a fetish it's just that each video games case over the years has become a part of the video games system that it served character.
Over the years there has been some beauties but we feel that the video game case probably lost it's individuality after the PS1.
After that, video games cases just became generic Video Games CD Cases.
So let us parade some of our favourite video games cases from years gone by.
The cases and the iconic style of Box Art are what we are essentially appreciating here......
So Without Further Ado Take A Look At The Video Games Case Catwalk

☆"Classic Amiga Version Of Defender Of The Crown Comes To Android"☆ @Cinemaware #Android #retrogaming #GamersUnite
We are big fans of the CinemaWare Video Games releases in the mid to late 80's.
Cinemaware brought atmospheric cinema-like video games to all manner of systems but the releases we remember most were those on the Commodore Amiga.
Such video games as IT Came From The Desert, King Of Chicago and todays featured video game Defender Of The Crown!
The Cinemaware games took their video games inspiration from the movies and Defender Of The Crown does so in the form of the classic swashbuckling movies such as Robin Hood (Good Old R.H Even Features In Game!)
Defender Of The Crown was the Elder Scrolls of it's time and set new standards in video games graphics and involving gameplay
So how have Cinemaware ported this beauty of a Video Game over to Android then?

☆The Absolute Beauty Of Positivity Towards Video Games☆ @ejwillingham #GamersUnite #Retrogaming
As I look back over my childhood I remember with immense fondness all those hours spent with my best friends playing Video Games and creating great memories.
I feel that the feeling towards Video Games is maybe swaying towards the positive arguments but there's still a massive way to go before Video Games are as acceptable as Films as a genuinely valid way to spend time whether you are 5 or 55.
The positives for me greatly outweigh the negatives and I feel the positives are more widely publicised now than ever before
(Although as I write this post, the lazy journalists at The Daily Mail are trying to drag Video Games under again

☆Fallout New Vegas - Game Diary 2 - "An Ode To The Cazadore" ☆ @CkGarb #GamersUnite
With the Fallout series the game's central story is almost surplus to requirements when playing this marvellous, involving, all consuming RPG.
I tend to set out with the best intentions of taking another step forward with the unveiling of the storyline and yet I will more often than not get distracted by a battle or a side quest that will take me in totally the opposite direction.
The thing is, that is the beauty of an open world to explore to your hearts content…..
The creators of the Fallout New Vegas have created a landscape that is begging to be explored.
It's vast and it's open, so vast and open that sometimes you can walk for minutes without encountering anything!
In that scenario it makes your next encounter with someone or something even more memorable.
You also find yourself feeling glad to locate a moving white marker on your in game compass as you realise it's a friend rather than a red enemy marker.
It's these stumbled upon moments in the game that make it so worthwhile to play.

★★The Games Freezer GameBoy Top 5 Worst Games★★ #RetroGaming #GamersUnite
The GameBoy 25th Birthday Celebrations Keep On Going And Today We Look At The Worst Side Of The GameBoy Video Games Phenomenon..
As with any video games console release there will always be developers that try and jump on the gravy train by bringing out any old junk for the latest video games behemoth
More recently a phenomenon known as "shovelware" appeared due to the unprecedented sales success of the Nintendo Wii
This led to some awful bland generic games being released for the Nintendo Wii as it was a victim of its own success story!
Back in the days of the Nintendo GameBoy when it ruled the hand-held gaming land there were also some real stinkers that were released that were either just badly made or just an excuse to try and cash in on the success of the GameBoy fraternity and sometimes a bit of both.
We dug deep to find the stinkiest of these stinkers to bring back some GameBoy Nightmares from Nintendo Past…….
Here's what horrors we found lurking in the GameBoy undergrowth……

★★Take A Look At The Games Freezer Top 5 GameBoy Games From The Last 25 Years★★ #RetroGaming #GamersUnite
So as we continue the GameBoy 25 Year Birthday celebrations and pay homage to the Grey Marvel that is the GameBoy, we begin to look back at the last 25 years worth of GameBoy games and pick out the cream of the crop.
There have been some absolute beauties
that have harnessed the little box over these years in order to produce a
great game from 4 shades of grey to provide a shaded LCD experience
like no other before OR since!
The hardware was not powerful but despite
the GameBoys technical limitations, amazing, addictive, endearing and
sometimes complex games were produced that had gamers hooked from day 1
of the GameBoy's release in 1989
With that in mind, it's going to be hard to whittle the extensive Gameboy catalogue down to just 5.
In order to create our Top 5 we are only
looking at games that could be played on the classic GameBoy as it's the
Original GameBoy that’s 25 Years old and not its colour brother from
another mother.
Anyway enough of all that, let's get on with this as we give you Games Freezer's Top 5 GameBoy games from the last 25 years!

☆"Fallout New Vegas" - Game Diary 1☆ #GamersUnite
2 years after finishing Fallout 3 I decided it was time to be consumed by the post apocalyptic wasteland again.
Fallout New Vegas was my experience of choice this time and this time I've decided to trial the documenting of my Mojave Wasteland journey.
This could make for good video games journalism or it might just end up being tedious.......but I'll give it a go because I'm sure that buried within the Wasteland is a Story to tell.........
