A Fangirl Weekly Discusion: CRTL+SHIFT+Paradigm= 8-BIT Beauties
Remember the first game you ever played? I do! The first game to capture my heart was Mario Brothers for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The frustration I felt when Princess Peach was not in the castle and joy of defeating Bowser consumed every moment of my free time. Being a woman I found that I could not let the job of saving a damsel fall to the hands of men. That is when I moved on to a bigger game. The Legend of Zelda became my mission and obsession. As these two characters grew throughout the years they evolved from weak women to the beautiful femme fatales that rocked the industry.

No Comments » Are the Giana Sisters Trying to Make A Comeback?
For those who don’t know who the Giana Sisters are, Twenty-five years ago, a Mario and Luigi clone duo named “The Great Giana Sisters” hit the stores. Nintendo wasn’t happy with this cheeky approach, so the game vanished from the shelves as quickly as it appeared. Despite the rocky start, or perhaps because of it, Giana has maintained a cult following up to this day. Mario’s parents (Nintendo) decided to let bygones be bygones and a successful Giana title was released on the Nintendo DS in 2009.
