What are you talking about, Madaracs? Well if you have a Macintosh, Delicious Library by Delicious Monster is the best product to catalog your media. I use it to catalog all of my NES, SNES, Sega, DreamCast, Atari carts and media. In addition to games, you can catalog Books and other media. Your iTunes catalog is automatically linked and updated as well.

I really like the clean interface, the woodgrain book shelves and the capability to synchronize your ipod or iphone with your library. That way when I visit Play N’ Trade, thrift stores or garage sales searching for retro games–I have a copy of everything I have so I don’t go and buy another copy.

The product uses the Amazon store as a database for finding your media titles quickly and for ease of use allows an iSight camera or a barcode scanner for quick cataloging of large media libraries.

Try it out or buy it for a mere $40! I beta tested version two for the last couple of months and It’s probably one of the best pieces of 3rd party software available for the mac.

Once a week [for three weeks now] we’ve given you the weekly segment:  Stuff You Didn’t Know You Needed (or SYDKYN!)  This week is no exception and we’ve dig dug deep.  We know it’s June and thought you might want to get a head start on All Hallows Eve this year.  You’re thinking to yourself right now, “Boy, I wish I had a cool retro-arcade costume with a carefully placed joystick so I could attract the ladies toward my netherregions …”  Oh no…

Video ArcadeI am now a member of the Video Arcade Preservation Society.  I registered my Ms. Pac-Man and Tron Arcade machines.  VAPS is managed by KLOV.com and has been around since 1990 (before the internets was big!) There is an extensive listing of members and games.  You may list your arcade collections, whether of not your machines as “for sale” or “not for sale” and invite visitors to your collection.  You can browse member lists, check out their collection sizes and if you feel like it (and where allowed)–you can go visit their collections.

Sources all over the internet [Gamasutra, Hexus, VideoGamer.com] are reporting that Nintendo has announced the date for its annual E3 press conference. There are rumors of a big reveal from Nintendo announcing new “Gamer titles” for the core gaming community. What this means is yet to be determined. The conference itself runs from July 15-17. On the 15th, Nintendo will make its announcement(s) from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA at 8:00 a.m. Last year games like Mario Kart and Wii Fit were announced–both very big sellers in the U.S. Any speculation as to what’s next?

Also expect big announcements from Microsoft and Sony. Sony is expected to announce more “A-list” titles to be added to it’s catalog and rumor has it Microsoft will lower the price point yet again on its Xbox 360.
