We've been doing the usual Friday sweep of Twitter and the world wide web to locate the finest retrogaming morsels we could find....
Trust us Freezer fans, there's a lot of great retrogaming goodness to choose from!

★" Pang Man Part 9 – Gaming Memories: The SEGA Master System "★ #RetroGaming #GamersUnite

As Pang Man Continues His Journey Through Some Of His Finest Gaming Memories, 

He Gets Underneath The Games That Made The SEGA Master System Such A Great System!

Let's Take Another Trip Into The Mind Of The Pang Man As He Reveals Some Of His Favourites SMS Video Games...

★"Pang Man Part 8 – Gaming Memories: Double Dragon"★ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

When I was a kid I remember going to the Toys R Us and looking at the games consoles and computers in the glass display cabinets. 

In those days there weren’t any of the interactive displays that you would find today. There were no Game or HMV stores . The only way to get my gaming fix was to watch the demos play in an endless loop.

Luckily my parents got me a Sega Master system for Christmas. 

(Although, I would have happily accepted an NES as well. After all those adverts for Rob the Robot and Duck Hunt on TV were pretty cool!)

One of the first games that I got was the awesome Double Dragon! 

Although pretty unimpressive by today’s standards, at the time I loved it.

★Fallout New Vegas - Game Diary 4 "Weapon Of Choice"★ #GamersUnite

Whilst marauding the Mojave Wasteland you get the opportunity to trial many superb weapons.

There are bog standard weapons like the .357 Magnum or the 9mm Pistol.

Then there's the slightly more advanced weapons like the Laser Pistol or the  10mm Machine Gun.

Not forgetting the fact that there's a whole plethora of melee weapons to utilise such as the humble baseball bat through to the Super Sledge and other quirky ,specially named melee weapons such as

Fist Of Rawr & Golden Gloves

After that you get the rarer versions of your standard weapon set which come affectionate names such as Annabelle and Lucky

Then there's the awe inspiring super destructive weapons such as the Missile Launcher or The Fat Man!

Over the course of the walkabout in Mojave you get attached to particular weapons.

Here's The Top 5 Weapons Of Choice that we make sure our hero, Dana, doesn't leave the vault without.......

☆Have You played Make It Rain?☆ @SpaceInch #GamersUnite #MakeItRain

I don't usually go for the latest craze in mobile gaming as it's usually shovelware or a 2 minute fad of gaming hyped up by the press and pushed in peoples faces for 2 weeks only to disappear and never be seen again

 

(or in Flappy Bird's Case, to disappear and magically reappear in a few months time after everyone has been convinced that their video gaming life is missing some kind of badly executed flying mechanic)

 

Anyway, then along came "Make It Rain"…….

 

I picked up on this game while sifting through my Google Alerts and somehow it found it's way into the Retro Gamer alert…Hmmmm???

 

Upon reading the article, I dismissed the game and carried on sifting. 

 

Then after searching video games news on Google I stumbled across "Make It Rain" AGAIN…..

 

This time it was an article on how it is making $50k a day.

 

It's at this point that I took notice of this so called phenomenon and I proceeded to download "MAKE IT RAIN" from the Google Play Store....

 My day was about to be taken over over by £ signs!

Whenever we plug into the Super Video Game Land Timeline on Twitter we are always greeted by some new artwork that Anthony has created.

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.

☆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.......

As Always We Challenge You To Name 'Em All! 

☆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.

☆Game Of The Day: "A Story About My Uncle"☆ @GoneNorthGames #GameDev

☆Where Do You Go For Your Video Games Information?☆ @WikiPedia #GamersUnite #RetroGaming

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

 

After all these years of using Wikipedia we have only just made a discovery that all you Video Gamers have probably already discovered.......

 

It's called......

♡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...

★Game Of The Day "5 New Games To Watch Out For"★ @Defrostgames @indomitusgames @UntoldGamesTW @WarsideGame

♥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?
