Mondays are video game day at the Campbell Household. We, the parents, try to limit the hours (and days) of video game entertainment here. (This is a learned behavior; after seeing that much less stringent limitations on video game time producing mean-spirited, selfish children, if not mindless automatons.) As it so happens, today whilst I…

Basketball Solitaire?
Everyone is talking basketball these days. It’s March Madness time. Most brackets have been thrown in the trash. Four teams fans are still happy for now. (Including me! Go State!) Well, I guess I’m getting in on the action. After a couple years “off”, I found another friend (with at least a slightly flexible schedule)…
Mac Game: Burger Shop
I found a cool game via a web link from Facebook, I believe. It’s a site that sells lots of games for the Mac, offering a free 1-hour demo of each. I saw this one called Burger Shop at #3 on their Most Popular list and decided to try it… it was a blast! I…
A Lesson From Monopoly
It’s probably not even accurate, but tonight while I was playing a game of Monopoly with my nine-year-old son, Ian, I couldn’t help but notice how the game paralleled life – and how I did not like that. First off, it was just a really fun night. We call them OK Nights. (One Kid Nights.)…
Some Things Currently Distracting Me
Quite a Stanley Cup Final… with Detroit winning the first two by shutting out the explosive Penguins, and then the Pens winning game three on the back of two Sid the Kid goals! Great stuff. Should (hopefully) go seven. Phoenix successfully landed on Mars on Sunday and I have been intrigued ever since. The link…
Tecmo Superbowl ’06!
I can’t really believe this, but someone is making new versions of THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME EVER! My boys and I are quite excited to have found a 2006 version of the classic Nintendo game. But I just noticed today that they are working on (and have a sort of “beta version” of) a 2007…
Luck
Last night Jen and I played a new card game called Tunge. (Not sure how you pronounce it.) She discovered it on a blog she reads and wanted to play it with me. I’m always game for a new … game. 🙂 So, we figured it out pretty easily and had a good time playing….
Tecmo Superbowl
Pretty sure I have mentioned here that I am a fan of old video games, and the king of all of those games – at least in the sports genre – is Tecmo Superbowl for the Nintendo NES. A friend sent me a link to a video today (first one below) and I found the…
Fun Christmas Game
Object of the game is to freeze the bad guys till they become a big ice ball, then get up next to ’em and kick em! Then they break the other bad guys and bust into presents for Santa! Fun little Christmas-themed online game! Enjoy! (want to play it full screen?)
Ice Cream Game!
Turkey Hill’s Ice Cream Journal posted a link to this game today so I thought I would pass it on to you! 🙂 It’s kinda hard so far! Enjoy!
