They have two locations in WV–one is in Morgantown. While I was out there on business I picked up a nice load of 8bit and 16bit games. These guys had games for Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Atari7800, NES, SNES, PS2, Xbox and more. They’re friendly and knowledgeable and they have great customer service. If you’re looking for a rare game they’ll be glad to check their inventory. Just give them a call. The do not have a website. You can email Jarrod at:

IBM announced today that they have reached mass production peek on the ‘Broadway’ chips that are being sent to Nintendo for the new console.

“IBM’s new ‘Broadway’ chip is a 90-nanometer process version of the 180-nm architecture ‘Gekko’ chip that Nintendo has been using in its GameCube console since 2001. IBM was secretive about further details of the new chip, saying only that it has a Power Architecture core specially modified for the Wii platform, and that it draws 20 percent less power than Gekko while boosting performance.”

The Wii has an ambiguous November release date–but according to this article from MacWorld we can expect them to be shipped on time–a little ironic seeing as the PS3 just announced they would be falling behind in production.

Here is a cool list of possible Wii launch titles and explanations about the Wii-Mote (remote) and the functionality of various games and how the controls will work. Very cool indeed.

I found this site called PS3411 that seems to have some good info on the new PS3. But riddle me this, Batman: I thought they’d ditched the batarang design on the controller. It looks like it is still that wonky design. Take a look here and get the 411.
