Little Nemo: The Dream Master is one of my favorite NES games!  That game encouraged me to start learning about the real Little Nemo comic strip, which was in newspapers in the early 20th century and done by Winsor McKay, who was doing animation in vaudeville before Disney was in diapers!  He was way before his time.  While the video game is based more on the anime movie from the early 90s, it still has elements from the comic strip.  I encourage you to look up info on the LIttle Nemo comic strip, too!  It's very interesting.

Oh yes I remember TV trays.  Guess I'm not as old as I think I am. :)  I used to have a Pac-Man TV tray when I was little.

I consider E3 and PAX my gaming related vacations.  I'd also like to go to Chicago and visit the new Pac-Man themed restaurant that just opened up called Cafe 256.

Did you know that Devilish was also ported to the Nintendo DS?

My favorite Genesis games are Ristar and Streets of Rage 2, so if you have those, play 'em!  And I hope you get to play Namco Museum vol. 4 soon, too!

The Viewtiful Joe games were great and definitely seemed like a big franchise in the PS2/GameCube days.  Then it dropped off the face of the earth.  I hated the cartoon, though.

I loved that Little Nemo game as a kid.  That game got me interested in the Little Nemo comic strip.

If I had a PS4, I'd probably get that game.  But that's OK, as there are a couple of R&C games on the PS3 that I have that I haven't even played yet!  I'm really looking forward to the movie, though.  Ratchet and Clank was one of the better platformers in the PS2 console generation.  No disrespect to Mega Man Legends, but it's what a 3-D Mega Man should've been.

That's interesting that they named companies so they'd be ahead in the phone book.  That's like how a lot of companies will name themselves A-1 so they can be at the front of the phone book.  When I was a little kid, I thought all those companies were the same as A-1 Steak Sauce.  I was like, "How can a steak sauce company have so many other businesses!"  Yeah I was a dumb kid.  But does anyone use phone books anymore?  Does this kind of thing even matter now?

We don't have that particular Atari computer on display at the musuem, but we do have an Atari 800 computer.  I imagine they're similar?

River Raid was one of my favorite games on the 5200.  I thought it was much better than the other versions.  We have River Raid running on the playable Colecovision at the museum.

Poor David Crane.  Nobody liked his Ghostbusters game.  i could see what he was thinking with it.  Trying to make it feel like you were running your own Ghostbusters business.  But it didn't turn out too well in the gameplay department.  Did you know that David Crane and Garry Kitchen were there on opening day at the museum?
