Retro gaming has had a resurgence in popularity. People are going up into lofts and digging out their Nintendos, Ataris and even PDP-11 minicomputers to return to the bygone era of computing. Like many people in the last few years, I went from being satisfied with modern smartphone recreations to collecting (too many) original machines, […]
Some awesome Imgur user put this together to show us sci fi geeks the differences in scale of some of the biggest “things” we have faced in science fiction, games and otherwise.

Let’s admit it, gamers. Wires muddy up our gaming areas, they really do. Especially if you have multiple consoles like a lot of gamers do. I, myself, have every major gaming system since the original NES, so on one wall of my living room are the retro systems (N.E.S, Genesis, N64 etc,) set up on […]
