2-27-08 11:26pm Latest Scores Updated(Finally!)| Well I have been updating the latest matches played and there sure have been tons of them during this month since we need to catch up to start the playoffs by the middle of march. Rounds 23-26 will be played tomorrow and the day after so stay tuned for more. Also for the points each team has and what position each team is in. |
2-27-08 10:03am LGL Updates| I'm real sorry for the lack of scores for this league but the league has almost reach up to date standings according to rounds. This week rounds 23-26 will be played and I'll be updating a whole bunch of them. Speaking of teams, Valencia CF(SPA) is totally taking over the Division A standings while Universitario(PER) is holding off the leadership by a single point. Division B has new leaders as PSV(NEATH) is leading the division by halfway the season and the recently demoted Sport Boys(PER) is fighting back to reach their first ever playoff spot. Division C is showing some tough fights with Miami Fusion(USA) and DC United(USA) leading their groups. Gamba Osaka(JAP) is finally waking up and is starting to gain some ground to reach their first ever number one seed to the playoffs. Division D is being surprised by Urawa Reds(JAP) which are fighting for a spot in the playoffs even though they failed to win a single match during the qualifiers. The leader Deportivo Cali(COL) is showing they have a lot to give to lead this division but the outmatched Inter(ITA) is starting to show some signs of life as they will be trying to reach the playoffs for a chance to go to the championship series. So far these teams are the ones who have been the highlights of the season but there is still another half to play and many teams could surprise the competition. |
2-27-08 9:58am More News!| Great news! I will be updating the LGL standings and results this week. There are also more Misty photos coming and the Heart of Riva Lite page will be up soon as well. There will also be a lot of new finds and more updates on my collection section. Things are looking great for the future of this site! |
2-25-08 10:18am Pick of the Week XLI: Heart of Riva Lite(PC)| This is probably a PC game none of you will ever be able to find online anymore and because of its rarity I will place it as a pick of the week. You must be thinking I'm insane since this game is so rare to find why recommend it? Well because I'll be creating a small shrine for it here in LGW so that everyone will be able to relive this Final Fantasy like RPG. Back in 1998 I found this gem while downloading some of the hottest shareware titles like Duke Nukem 3D and others. I remember coming across this game while looking at the AOL games section and thinking how kewl it looked so I gave it a try. I was amazed by how fun and yet difficult this game can be and couldn't wish for more. It wasn't until last year that I had a chance to play the game again since I found it in my old floppy disks. I still love playing the game and decided to try to finish it. Unfortunately, my computer crash and I wasn't able to finish the game so I sort of drifted off from the game once more. I'm pretty sure this game is shareware but if I'm able to find the creators of it and find the full version my mission will be complete! Anyways, Stay tuned for the shrine of this rare pc game! |
2-25-08 10:15am Update on Recent Finds| Just a quick update on the last Famicom Set I bought from Ebay. This will probably be one of the last finds involving Famicom. |
2-25-08 10:06am Famicom Disk System| Looking for a Famicom Disk System for cheap because I really have no money at all at this time. This could make my collection a lot more entertaining. E-mail me if interested in letting yours go. I can also trade Famicom carts! |
2-25-08 10:02am Misty Photo Update| Added two sexy cosplay Misty photos that I hope all you guys and girls will enjoy. |
2-25-08 9:53am More Updates| Man I wish I was home so I can really give you guys big updates but for now I'm at school....at least I have updated the pick of the week records so you guys can check out these games I recommend for you to play. If you are unsure you want to buy any of these games just try them out via-emulators and see if the games are really worth your money. |
2-25-08 9:36am Lots of Updates| The league has been in full play for the past two weeks trying to get back to date so that we can continue on track. I'll have all the results in the next two weeks or probably less. In other news, I will not be collecting many games in the future because I'm going to be a dad and need to take my role and responsibility for it. However, there will be some changes in this site in the near future. My collection has been updated adding new game boy color games and there will be more in the future. My latest finds are updated with new photos of my findings of last year which I never uploaded here. There are going to be new sections added and one of them being dedicated to Super Mario pirate carts! There are also new things I'm cooking up for the faithful visitors of LGW! Stay tuned for more! |
2-4-08 12:36pm League to Return| Finally there might be light at the end of the tunnel as the league could come back as earliest as this weekend or as late as the end of the month. It all depends on what is going to happen during the week. For now, check out the game of the week records for suggestions on games you should be playing and later today, I will add a lot of photos to my finds section! |
1-17-08 12:33am Well back to work| Well the league might be dead and might not come back until a little later this year so for now there is not much to update except my recent finds. I'm going to add new photos this week and update the other sections as well. |

11-30-07 8:28pm Peru Takes Bronze, Japan Wins Third World Cup!| Peru took care of business to stay with the third place and defeated France in elite fashion! 6-0 was the final score, which ended up being one of the worst performances by the French team. Japan wins their third world cup once again against England and leaves them empty handed. The final score was 2-0 and showed that the levels of these teams are getting farther away from each other. Heavily favored England disappointed and choked once again in the world cup final. Japan used their great defense to take advantage of the English mistakes which were many. This could have been a goal scoring massacre if Japan weren't so unlucky. Congrats Japan! |
11-28-07 7:28pm A Final to Remember| This final will bring two powerful super powers into battle for the world cup. Japan in one side and England in the other. Once has felt victory twice while the other has felt defeat twice. England is coming with what could be the best team yet but of course how much better can it get since they have gotten to the world cup final each of the last three years. Japan comes with their traditional super stars as well as some of the best defense in the world. Everything points at England for the victory but anything can happen. Japan comes with their history and could lead all teams even further by winning a third world cup. The match will be this Friday so don't forget to visit for the results! Below is a little history of the past world cups: 2003 Egypt Italy 2004 Japan Germany 2005 Japan England 2006 Peru England |
11-27-07 8:31pm Hearbreak Loss and Powerfull Victory!| Japan took the breath out of Peru and knocked them out of the World Cup Germany 2007. The game started in favor of the Peruvians by goals from Zea and Cubillas but Japan came back to tie it by goals from Tsubasa and Yanagisawa. At extra time, a penalty kick was called in favor of Japan. Yanagisawa took a shot at it but the keeper saved it but when the defense shot it out of the area the ball bounced on Japan's midfielder and into Yanagisawa's legs like magic. Yanagisawa scored before the defense could react and the dream was over. Japan into the World Cup final since the 2005 World Cup. In the other semifinal, England had no mercy on France and goal scored them 3-1. England started real quick by scoring all three goals in the first half by Beckhamp, and two by Owen. Zidane scored the goal of the honor for France. This will be a rematch of the 2005 world cup final between Japan and England and it's also the third straight year England has made it to the final of the world cup competition. Of course, England has failed to win the tournament the last two tries so maybe the third try will be on England's side. Japan will have a chance to win a third world cup while England will have a rematch of one of the best world cup finals played. Peru will face France for the third and fourth places. |
11-25-07 11:57pm Latvia battles to the end, Hosts knocked out, and English rule as France does the same| Only four teams left and a true classic on its way this Tuesday. Japan-Peru should be a total match up of super star powers and the finalist could be the champ as well. On the other side you will have England going up against France. England came from knocking up Italy 5-0 while the French won their match in extra time once more this time against Spain. Latvia left the world cup with a good image as they battled to the end against a more experienced Japanese team. Peru knocked out the hosts in a bizarre match that ended in a goal scoring affair in favor of the Peruvian team. The semifinals will be this coming Tuesday so stay tuned for the results. |
11-23-07 7:13pm Historical Latvia, USA goes home....| With only sixteen teams left the finals are getting more fierce. At the beginning match, Japan took care of a very powerful Wales team and made it to the quarterfinals. Tsubasa scored the only goal of the match. The second match was the most exciting of all with new powerhouse Latvia going up against the best African team Egypt. Egypt started their lead early by scoring two goals and being up by two during halftime. Latvia with "Vera" came back and made this World Cup memorable by tying the match in the final minutes and finishing up Egypt in the last minutes of extra time. Amazingly Latvia is in the top eight teams of the world. The third match brought two teams with great history behind these tournaments. Netherlands took on the last year's champions Peru. Netherlands was no match for them and could only score the goal of the honor. Peru is in the top eight teams once more. China took on Germany in the fourth match and the hosts Germany did not looked back and goal scored the Chinese 3-0. The hosts are in the top eight now and will take on Peru in the quarterfinals. The favorites to win this world cup England took no mercy over Senegal and finished them up 5-0. England will take on Italy next match. Speaking of Italy they played a decent match just enough to finish up Ukraine and now find themselves in the top eight of the world. Spain took care of Portugal in another European match up 3-0. In the final match, France finished USA's dreams at extra time in a crucial match. The next matches will be played on Sunday. |
11-21-07 9:00pm Last 16 Schedule!| Below are the Last 16 matches coming up this Friday. Who will advance? who knows? |
11-20-07 9:01pm USA and Peru Survive, Europeans Rule The Cup!| This has been a horrible World Cup for teams from the Americas and could get worse if the two teams that made it to the last 16 can't make a good performance. Below are the final round three results. |
11-17-07 9:01pm Brazil Knocked Out of the World Cup, Struggle for the Americas Continue | Japan did what they had to do to become the sole leaders of group A and played a great game against a heart broken Brazilian squad that will go home after round 3. It was an amazing match for Japan as they scored over and over until they had a 3-0 lead but Brazil finally woke up and scored two quick goals to get back in the game but in the end it was too late. Netherlands drew their match which was more than enough to knock Brazil out of the world cup and leave Russia with a minimal chance of advancing. Italy took care of Ecuador and also knocked them out by 2-0 which still leaves teams from the Americas winning less. France totally destroyed Switzerland for the score of 6-1 and now share first place with Italy which is their next rival to find out who will be the leader of that group. Of course Ecuador and Switzerland have 0 points so they will play the honorary match on Monday. Colombia lost to Latvia for 1-0 in a close match which also ended in an injury to super star "Vera" from Latvia. China took care of Costa Rica 2-0 and the horrible streak of Americas winning less teams continue. Spain took care of Nigeria 2-0 and will play against Finland to guarantee their appearance in the round of last 16. Speaking of Finland, they lost against the powerful and favorite England for 2-0 so Finland will play an important match against Spain to qualify. With all the surprising results anything can happen in the upcoming matches. Can the teams from the Americas get a victory? We'll find out tomorrow as the world cup action continues! |
11-16-07 11:31pm Teams Choke on Day Two! | Sorry for the late news but I have been so sick today that I haven't been able to update the results. Anyways, today England started their world cup finals with a great and important victory over Spain 2-1. Ukraine and the USA ended up in a draw that could have been a USA victory if it wasn't for a foul followed by the red card. Korea gave a surprised when they drew against the favorite Turkey 2-2 and at one point Korea was up 2-0 but Turkey having world cup experience knew what to do to get back and salvage the point. Ireland gave another big surprise in this world cup as they defeated a confused and disappointing Argentina 1-0. Argentina being a favorite to win this world cup due to their great defense fell asleep late in the game and allowed the only goal of the match. Wales drew against Peru at the final moments giving Peru a lot to wish for. They choked at the end and ended a horrible debut that surprisingly is putting Ireland on top followed by Wales. Sweden had a close call against Australia and won the match 1-0 in a very close game with little chances of scoring. Portugal defeated Senegal 2-1 even though Senegal looked like if they were going to win it, Portugal's quick counter attack gave them the victory since both goals came by that category. The hosts Germany left a lot in the field and could barely defeat Norway 1-0. The hosts had a hard time creating plays and struggle the whole ninety minutes. Uruguay was yet another team from the Americas that was faced with defeat as the top African team Egypt defeated them 3-1. With the first round over, none of the teams from the Americas have had a victory which is incredibly amazing since the Americas have some of the strongest teams in the world but anything can happen in this world cup. Tomorrow round 2 starts so please head to the world cup section for info on the upcoming matches. |
11-15-07 5:44pm Surprises and Disappointments on Day One... | There were so many exciting matches today but the one I clearly looked shocked was the upset of the Netherlands over Brazil. Japan started their debut by humiliating Russia 5-0 with four of the goals coming from Yanagisawa. Also, the French as well as the Italians goalscored their rivals 4-0 and 3-0 respectively. Latvia started their tournament on the right note and defeated Costa Rica 3-0 with a hack trick from "Vera". China and Colombia draw their first match at one a piece while Nigeria fell to Finland 1-0. So far the teams from the Americas haven't done a good job since none of them have been victorious. We hope the rest of the teams do a better job in the upcoming matches. Below are the results of the matches played so far. |
11-14-07 7:18pm World Cup Starts Tomorrow!| If you haven't seen the World Cup Matches in the World Cup Section then you probably don't care about this tournament lol anyways the matches are up for the first three rounds as well as the dates so everything is ready. Lets see if we'll have any surprises tomorrow. For more info head to the World Cup 2007 section. |
11-11-07 12:35pm Collection Update| There was a little change to the collection section. As you can see the link is now for a site that lets you put up your collections on it for better viewing. So enjoy! |
11-11-07 12:30pm Updates| I have been very busy for the last two weeks and would like to apologize for the lack of updates. Well there really isn't much to add except that I have the World Cup match schedules ready for the start of the tournament this upcoming 15th of November. More info later today. |
10-31-07 12:30pm LGL Updates| So the fall-winter season of the LGL is set to start on December first. In the next couple of weeks we'll know what the first matches will be. For the month of December, there will be at least three matches per team every week and after that it'll go down to two so that we can get back on date with the whole season. The World Cup of Clubs still has no date but it should be around summer if anything. That's about it for now. |
10-31-07 12:25pm Happy Halloween| Just wishing everyone a happy Halloween and let the holiday season begin! |
10-28-07 8:45pm Pick of the Week XXIV: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008(PS2)| Another year of Konami kicking EA sports ass is finally here. While EA sports decided to sell out and pretty much screw up what was once a decent franchise, Konami decided to bring their already popular soccer series to the states. This game is so good that even EA sports tried to copy their style of game play but failed miserably. This is truly the best soccer game around and shows it in different ways. The game play is superb and this time around it's more realistic than ever before! You of course get all the modes as in previous games but the one that caught my attention is the world tour mode where you pick a team to take on the world and are given different tasks that you must complete while playing those matches. The commentators are back and are more talkative than the previous games and the graphics are very decent. The graphics aren't fantastic but they also aren't horrible. Players are more detailed and the stadiums are more flavorful. Overall, this game is just a treat to have in your collection and for those loyal FIFA fans, all I can say is that you gotta give this game a try at least once. There is no reason to hate another franchise for trying to bring you an awesome soccer game. |

10-22-07 1:45am Luis Games League Pre-Season Matches| There is already going to be some preparation matches for the upcoming season Fall-Winter for the LGL. There might be more matches coming up but for now these are the announced. |
10-22-07 1:23am World Cup Qualifiers Finished| It took almost around six months but the qualifying rounds are over. As you can see the playoff spots have also taken place and therefore we have the thirty two teams competing in this World Cup. |
Here is finally the list of all the qualified teams:CSF/Concacaf (8 teams)Argentina Brazil Ecuador Costa Rica USA Colombia Uruguay Peru CAF (3 teams)Nigeria Egypt Senegal AFC/OFC (4 teams)Japan Korea China Australia UEFA (17 teams)England Italy France Latvia Netherlands Ireland Germany Finland Spain Ukraine Turkey Sweden Portugal Switzerland Wales Norway Russia |

10-17-07 3:57pm Updates| I have a couple of updates about my collection. I might have some NES cartridges later today! |
10-16-07 8:15pm This Week in Virtual Soccer!| With the Luis Games league over for a month and some days, there has been a lot of changes around the league as well as the upcoming World Cup 2007 tournament just around the corner. There is a date for the World Cup 2007 which will start on November 15 through the 30th so this time around the tournament will last for a total of 15 days. Below are other news of teams or clubs:
Japan- With a full squad the Japanese team will be the one to beat in the upcoming World Cup in Germany. They are still not sure of their starting lineup for the upcoming matches and will not make any decisions until they know who they are going to face. Tsubasa and Benji will be in the lineup for sure.
Brazil- The team is pretty much complete although they still don't know if they will be able to play any more friendlies before the tournament.
Argentina-With their incredible defense this team has decided to keep their lineup of the past Copa America and hope to do a great performance in the upcoming tournament.
Germany- After qualifying to their own tournament in 7th place, very few believe of a successful World Cup. There are still a few adjustments to be made but very few prospects to choose from.
Peru- Still with not a solid lineup, Peru is going to be a big question all the way to the last week prior the World Cup. Their clubs have done a very good performances in the first season of the Luis Games League and will look for players to call upon. Mostto has already been called for the team but as of now he is a substitute.
Spain- Still struggling to find a real solid lineup, this team right now is battling for a spot in the World Cup finals. There are a lot of doubts that this team will get far and so far their second place spot next to the surprising Ukraine is making them look amateur. Gamba Osaka- After signing Solano to play along with Tsubasa, Gamba Osaka is looking even better and will be a terror in the upcoming season. The team is looking even further for more super stars to make their team unbeatable.
Cienciano- With no more Cubillas Cienciano will look for any decent trades to help their team improve for the upcoming season.
Valencia FC- The surprising Spaniard team showed us that pure defense can lead into very effective offense and has been looking to increase that. You will see pretty interesting trades very soon.
Miami Fusion- The champions of the Luis Games League are still looking for trades or signing of any offensive player. Without Serna this team is going to struggle but will be able to overcome it if Boyce takes charge of the team. The MVP of the championship series has been made the new captain and will be on the offense alone as of now.
Deportivo Cali- The team that barely missed the promotion to the next division will be back even stronger than ever. With Mono and Mido the offense of this team is exquisite. Don't let their bad record of last season fool you because they didn't got these two superstars until the last ten games of the season. They will be on the market for a middle forwards.
Alianza Lima- The team that barely missed the Division A playoffs will be on fire with their new superstar Cubillas, they will be the team to look out for! With Maestri on the other side, this duo will be one of the most powerful in the entire league!
Guadalajara- After a very experimental season this Mexican club will be on the market for trades of upcoming prospects to improve their chances. I can bet you that they will make a push to the playoffs. That's about it for all the news up to now! |
10-16-07 7:58pm New Recent Finds!| Yeah more new finds have been added! Dead or Alive 3 (Xbox) Shinobi (PS2) Kingdom Hearts 2(PS2) Final Fantasy XII(PS2) Max Payne 2 (PS2) Top Gear (SNES) That's all for now! |
10-14-07 7:57pm Pick of the Week XXII: Final Fantasy VIII(PSX)| It was probably not the best Final Fantasy to come out but it was a very interesting one. One of the reasons I recommend this title is because of the time Square was putting into the Final Fantasy franchise. Every Final Fantasy started being a game that people couldn't wait to play and this was another one of them. It was criticized at first because gamers started comparing this game to the almighty Final Fantasy VII and just didn't liked it. To tell you the truth, I didn't liked it either but in the end it's a very deep and enjoyable RPG. This is a long game that'll take you through four discs of adventure and drama. The story is really deep but can be very predictable at times. The gameplay is what makes this game shine as it mimics Final Fantasy VII's gameplay with three fighters in your group. This time around, the characters actually follow you out of battles instead of somehow fusing with you. This game can get frustrating if you don't upgrade your weapons but to do that you must find the items necessary for the upgrade and that can get to be a little annoying but challenging. The characters are unforgettable and are of vast interest. The ending.....well I won't spoil that to you! Either way, you should really check this out especially if you are an RPG fan because this franchise is the reason why RPGs became so popular in the Americas as well as in the rest of the world. |
10-14-07 7:37pm Great Recent Finds| I finally got an Xbox of my own and I couldn't be happier. It may not be the 360 but it's a good start to collecting Xbox related games. I got it for real cheap too! I only paid seventy five dollars for all that stuff! I'm hooked on Halo and NFL Blitz 2003. In other finds I got three SNES cartridges for a dollar each. Below is the list of my finds: Xbox Console Halo(Xbox) NFL Blitz 2003(Xbox) The House of the Death III(Xbox) Need for Speed Underground II(Xbox) Star Wars Battlefront II(Xbox) Medal of Honor Frontline(Xbox) Fable(Xbox) Baldurs Gate -Dark Alliance(Xbox) Sega GT 2002(Xbox) Jet Set Radio Future(Xbox) Splinter Cell (Xbox) Soul Calibur II (Xbox) Ballz(SNES) Cliffhanger(SNES) Bram Stroker's Dracula(SNES) Check the Recent Finds section for photos! |
10-14-07 12:46pm Upcoming Updates| I will be updating the NES/Famicom/Recent Finds/Misty/Reviews sections later today as I have a lot to add to all of them! Stay tuned for the updates! In other news, I have added a lot of new videos to the youtube page as well as new photos in my flickr page. There is lots of more to come! |
10-9-07 7:24pm Recent Finds Section Updated| A new find to my collection has been added. This time around, Final Fantasy X-2 makes it to my growing collection. This is a game I bought when it came out but gave it for store credit soon after and I don't know why I did it....Well that's all in the past. It's back in my possession! |
10-9-07 12:02pm World Cup Section Updated| Just a quick update to the final standings of the first group of the European Zone. That's all for now. |
10-7-07 4:21pm Pick of the Week XXI: Gradius II (FC)| Probably one of the best shooters out for the Famicom, Gradius II is a masterpiece! This game has it all including RPG elements. The challenge is great but can get really tough at some points so it's not an easy game to beat. This game should have been released on the NES but never saw the light of day here. It's amazing what titles Nintendo let go leaving them Famicom exclusives. I really didn't know much about this game until I bought recently a lot of 19 pirate Famicom cartridges and I didn't know what I was getting. Once I tried the game, everything changed. I really love the music and the graphics because they are pretty good for their time. The sound is amazing too because the game brings real voice sound!! Yeah!! That was big back then and something really kewl to have in a game! How did it worked you ask? Well all you had to do is get a power up module and then hit the A button and whichever power up you get, a voice will say what you got. This is an amazing game that I could play over and over pretty much how I do with Contra nowadays. |
| Konami showed us how good they were from the very beginning by introducing titles like these. A true masterpiece of gaming! There is no other shooter this good except maybe Recca which I will pick up soon enough to play. Gradius II doesn't come cheap though. You'll be spending twenty-thirty dollars for it, if you are lucky, ten dollars. The price may be a little high but you'll get your moneys worth because this is a must have for your collection especially if you are into shooters. |
10-6-07 1:19pm Collection Updated!| Alright so I did a big update to the collection section having a total of 70 NES games added to the collection. I will try and work on the Famicom collection as well. There is just so much to add. |
10-6-07 12:14pm Soccer League Update| Well I finished adding all of the previous season playoff results and they are all together in the Soccer League section. I also added the championship series. That's all for now! |
10-5-07 4:33pm Recent Finds Section Updated| Yeah finally an update. This time around I have added two photos of my latest finds. I ended up finding a nice black label copy of FF VIII which is pretty much the ace of both sets. I was able to get Dragon Warrior II for the NES as well. Below is the list of my latest finds: Mega Man IV(NES) Dragon Warrior II(NES) Mortal Kombat II (SNES) 4 in 1 Famicom Pirate Cart (FC) GTA III (PS2) Mad Maestro (PS2) Nascar 2000 (PSX) Final Fantasy VIII (PSX) That's all for now! Head to the recent finds section for photos of them! |
9-30-07 2:45pm Game of the Week XX: Mortal Kombat 2(SNES)| This was probably one of my favorite fighters in the mid nineties because of the gore factor. It not only had blood which was the substance that revolutionize and criticized the gaming world at the same time but, it had a great fighting system and best of all, Fatalities. This game had a high popularity on the arcade that you had to defeat the guy in the machine to actually get to play the game. It was very hard seeing all those kids with their Gamepros and EGMs looking for the combos to kill each other on kombat. This was a game that brought me to the brink of staying up every weekend to beat my opponent over 50 times or so to get to fight a secret character. Of course, I would do it because it was so damn good. This is in fact my favorite Mortal Kombat game and will truly live in my growing retro gaming collection. I recommend everyone to pick up this fighter of fighters! The only game that could stand a chance against street fighter was this bloody masterpiece. |
9-28-07 5:45pm Not Much to Say| Alright, not much to talk about right now. I have added a couple of videos to the youtube page and some photos to the flickr page but not much going on. I will try to work on my collection as well as new reviews this weekend but I can't guarantee anything since I have tests next week. I'll keep you posted. |
9-26-07 12:19pm New Finds| This could be the last Famicom finds I could have for a while. I just added a set of 19 Famicom games to my collection. Games worth mentioning in this set are Gradius 2, and Bubble Bobble. I do have some repeats that I might be selling soon but there are some interesting games in this set. The pirate cart labels are not bad at all and give Famicom cartridges a new look. Well don't forget to check out the whole photo of the set in the recent finds section. |
9-23-07 5:41pm World Cup Germany 07 Section Added| With the upcoming World Cup in Germany, I have decided to add a section to the qualifying rounds as well as the friendlies records. The European rounds will be added later this week. |
9-23-07 2:26pm Upcoming Friendlies| Now that the Season is over the international meetings will start all over again especially with the World Cup coming. Below are the already announced friendlies for international teams. |
9-23-07 1:13pm Collection Update| Added a bunch of new carts to my collection but there is still a lot more to add. At least it's improving.... |
9-23-07 11:14am Pick of the Week XIX: Mega Man 2 (NES)| This is perhaps the best Mega Man game over all Mega Man games. This installment of Mega Man continued the story from the first Mega Man as Dr.Wily escaped, you had to get him back and bring him to justice. This time around, you had to fight eight robots instead of the six in the first game. The music is well done and memorable as well as the final boss battles which will make you want to scream at times...well maybe back in the 90s. My favorite boss is the flying dragon because it tests your still of jumping, dodging, and shooting at the same time. Another interesting boss is the alien Wily that you fight at the end giving you an interesting twist to the whole game. He has to be as crazy as an alien to try to take over the world. Overall, Mega Man shines where no other Mega Man has done so before and will live on in being the best Mega Man sequel of all. |
| The Mega Man series was also for the first time introduced to passwords which where very helpful when trying to beat the game on a tight schedule. You had to beat the first one all in one play or just pause the NES and come back when you are done which is not good for the NES at all in my opinion. So back to Mega Man 2, the only thing wrong about passwords is that if you got them wrong you would probably have to play the whole game over and that's no fun. The solution, easy to copy passwords. You had only red dots to copy on a square box and that's about it. No capital letters or small letters with numbers etc. Well, I highly suggest adding this game to your collection because just having the rom is disrespectful to Mega Man! He deserves a cartridge! |
9-22-07 7:02pm TMNT 2 Review Added!| Well finally the review of TMNT 2 for the NES is up. This is just the first of many reviews I hope to add to this site. Enjoy and if you see any errors well it's my first review so give me time to mature!! lol that's about it for now so enjoy. |
9-21-07 11:44pm Collection Section Update!| Added 4 new entries to the Famicom section. The Dragon Quest Saga! |
9-20-07 10:46pm Blast from the Past!| This is a really kewl page of a one of my oldest magazines in my whole collection. Looking at it gives me such a good feeling and now it's time to share it with everyone. One sad note though, this is only for the bilingual(English-Spanish) person. Sorry, but here it goes. It's just a simple review of Adventure Island III for the NES. Well not much a review but a look at this game. |
9-20-07 12:38am Some News!| Well a couple of news to tell you my loyal visitors. First, I'm almost done downloading the Pocket Monsters first season so if the program that I hate lets me take pictures, then I will! Second, I won a lot of 19 pirated Famicom cartridges and I will have awesome pictures of them. Third, I will be working on my collection section this weekend because right now I'm just too busy with class. Last, I already have a couple of reviews ready but I just don't have the time to create the pages for them. All of these tasks will be done in time and also don't forget to check out my other pages for more kewl stuff. That's all for now! |
9-18-07 9:58pm New Finds!| A picture of my latest finds has been added to of course the latest finds section. This time around, I finally got my hands on the last 4 carts I ordered. They are pirated Famicom titles and quite rare so enjoy and please feel free to ask me any questions. That's all for now! |
9-16-07 3:55pm Game of the Week XVIII: Super Mario Bros 2 (Famicom)| The game that never made it to the USA. What a shame because it was one of the best Super Mario Bros games ever. It had it all, challenge, new enemies(bad mushroom), and of course new levels! What more can you get? Extra levels. That's right this is one of the longest Super Mario games around and by some it's the most challenging especially when you get to world A-D, it gets insanely hard. Of course, many Super Mario veterans will surpass all the difficulties of the game and laugh at them but those new generation players will be up for a while. Your best bet is to try out the SNES version of Super Mario Bros 2 because it has the ability to save your progress. If you aren't satisfied and want the real deal, then be sure to buy a Famicom with the Disk System add on and be prepared to give some big bucks for those nifty collectibles. Since Super Mario Bros 2 only came out on the Disk System for the Famicom, you are better off trying the SNES version and if you are a real cheap bastard, I have one word for you, Emulation. The levels are vast and the challenges are great. Too bad we never saw the original in the States but instead got a crappy hack of Doki Doki Panic.....not fun at all! Alright, to sum up, this is a must have for any collector and for anyone looking for a challenge from the past. That's about it! |
9-15-07 3:16pm Miami Fusion Champions of the Luis Games League!| With an unforgettable performance of every Miami Fusion player, the final match took place! Yeah, the Luis Games League is finally over and the champion is finally known. The Miami Fusion are the first ever champion of the Luis Games League! Serna's final game with the Fusion couldn't have been better. The whole team showed a lot more energy then in previous encounters and took advantage of all the Valencia's mistakes. The game was fought through the whole match but one being more inspired than the other, the result was obvious. The goal scoring started at minute 10 when Boyce scored an amazing shot that seemed lost and 7 minutes later Boyce will once again score to start securing a championship. Valencia did attacked but Aimar seemed lost as well as all of the middle forwards and couldn't get any clear goal scoring opportunities. Then at the 20th minute, Aimar had a great chance to score when he received a flaying center pass that connected with his head, but Sebu was ready for it and blocked it for the corner. Valencia looked incredibly desperate as half time was over. The second half started with more attacks by the Valencian offense but resulted in nothing but more of Sebu's saves. There was one attack at minute 55 where Aimar had a clean kick to the goal line but Sebu ended up saving it with an incredible jump. With everything ending in disaster, it couldn't get any worst. An own goal at minute 70 finished up what proved to be a mismatch and the Fusion team were ready to celebrate with a 3-0 lead. Not until minute 90 did Serna screamed bloody murder goal! for it was his turn now for scoring. With a 4-0 lead the game was already over and a disillusioned Valencia team ended their season with a dagger in their hearts. The first ever Luis Games League Champion was Miami Fusion and it'll be Miami Fusion until the end of time. Congrats Fusion! |
9-15-07 12:17am Collection Section Updated| Alright I added a lot of NES games to the collection section so check them out. I will be working hard to put up all of them but man there are a lot around 300+ carts to add to the collection section. That's all! |
9-14-07 11:36pm New Recent Finds!| The lot of 10 pirate Famicom carts arrived today and they are just soooooo awesome!!! There is a picture of the lot in the recent finds section so check it out. |
9-13-07 8:06pm Collection Added| So I did some work today and it's looking good right about now. The collection section is up with 10 pictures of my famicom collection but of course many more to come! I hope you like the new format....that's all! |
9-13-07 1:06am Some Drastic Changes in the way...| Well I just started to look at the collections I have posted here and though they are just horrible....I mean the pictures are badly made and it's just something I don't like at all. I'm going to join the two sections and add of course all the missing games into them. This will take time but it'll be for the best. The format will inclde the name of the game,link to picture,and screenshots will probably be added in the future. I will start work whenever I can so it'll take some time and a lot of photos to get this work done. Wish me luck! |
9-12-07 11:27pm New Finds Added!| Added a couple of lots of magazines to the recent finds section. They are pretty kewl and fun to read which is something I enjoy so much to do. I'm going to be adding a lot of sweet stuff soon. |
9-12-07 11:04pm Championship Series Second Leg Results| Alright so these legs were more of a disaster....well that's how wacky all of this has been lately. Alright, so Cienciano were humiliated one more time but at least left with one goal of honor while Valencia CF got their game on and defeated a demolished Newcastle Team. The final match will be played on Friday: Miami Fusion vs Valencia CF |
9-11-07 2:42pm Championship Series First Leg Results| Wow there were some of the most surprising results to be seen through this long season. First Miami Fusion made fools out of a confused Cienciano Team while Valencia CF lost their undefeated streak by the hands of Newcastle United....Well the second leg are tomorrow but one of the series is already done for. |
9-10-07 12:48pm Waiting On New Finds!| I have some new items coming in the mail very soon and I'm real excited because some of them are real rare gems. I'm partly selling some of my games as well tough but I intend to keep my favorite ones. I'm looking at some more auctions and if things go alright, I will win them as well. Also I'm preparing a NES collection update that should be done very soon. Stay tuned. I do have other updates on my flickr page, Youtube page,and Ebay Store so check them out. |
9-9-07 2:09pm New Finds Added!| Yeah I have added 3 new finds to my collection and you can see the pictures of them at the Recent Finds section. The new games are Clock Tower 3 and Onimusha 2 for the PS2. While Wai Wai World has been added to my Famicom Collection. For those of you who don't know anything about Wai Wai World, it's a Konami game that contains a bunch of Konami characters from different games including Castlevania. It's a great platformer. |
9-9-07 1:42am Championship Series Ports pone!| As you can see there haven't been any results added to the news section which means there weren't any championship games played this week due to the fact that I was too busy with other stuff like school and work. Sorry about that anyways the dates are as noted: 9-11-07 First Leg 9-12-07 Second Leg 9-14-07 Final That's all for now. |
9-9-07 1:39am Recent Finds Section Added!| Yeah it was bound to happen and it's finally here. After closing down a couple of sections, I have finally decided to add this to my homepage. Now every time I get new gaming related stuff, I will add them to that section. There are pictures up already so enjoy. New stuff will be added tomorrow because I haven't recorded quite a few findings. |
9-9-07 12:56am Pick of the Week XVII:Captain Tsubasa (PS2)| Truly one of the best soccer anime series looking for champions. If you haven't heard of Captain Tsubasa and are a soccer fan then you have something to look for. This is a game that started way back in the Famicom and it's based on an anime from the 80s. Now, this game comes with the same classic and rare gameplay that combines RPG elements with the action scenes and that's the best rare gameplay you can find around. You play the game in 3D and have a lot of similarities to the 2D counterparts. The possibilities are endless! This game is really odd in the way it plays since you get a menu option window to select something like pass, kick, dribble, etc. This is what makes this game so great and challenging because you feel more in control for your team and can figure out a perfect strategy to beat the opponent. |
| The only thing wrong with this game is the short story mode. You barely play a little over 10 matches to beat the entire game which is one of the things that have held this and past games back in the past. The one I remember had the longest story is perhaps Captain Tsubasa III for the Super Famicom and that game was a true masterpiece unlike Captain Tsubasa IV for the same system. Overall though, this game delivers incredible game play and long dramatic cut scenes even during game play. It's a must have import for any soccer,anime, and gamer fanatic! You will not be disappointed. |
9-3-07 1:00pm Now we are Flickring!| I have created my own account in the site called Flickr so I will have the link to it soon so you people can see some of the photos that I have taken and see if they are any good. |
9-1-07 1:32pm Pick of the Week XVI: Mario Kart 64| One of the most enjoyable Nintendo 64 titles to date is surely Mario Kart 64. Not only does this game comes with a massive amount of tracks but has a multiplayer option that is enjoyable from beginning to end. This game has you race with other Nintendo characters to be the very best and it won't be easy. I'm sure many of you have heard of this game and even played it but of course if you are part of the Sony team, then you probably never touched this. Still, if you are a gamer looking for a challenge, then this is the game to play. It's not only fun, but, it also increases the challenge as you play at a higher difficulty which can sometimes get a little annoying. Even so, this is truly a game you should give a try to on an emulator or if you are lucky enough to bump into a Nintendo 64 console. Each character has his/her own strength and weakness like for example Bowser is very strong but also one of the slowest drivers. The characters are so balanced that you can pick any to find out which you are more comfortable using. Another great pick as we approach week XVII. |
8-31-07 11:51pm The 3 Champions are.....| The playoffs are done and the long season is finally over, well at least for the other teams it is. There is one final series to be held on which is of course the Championship Series to take place this 3rd,4th,and 6th of September. The 4 Champions will battle on to see who is the best of them all in one final series. All of these matches ended up very tight and very exciting. Cienciano made a miracle by taking down Real Madrid while Valencia CF took one for Spain and beat Universitario with a lot of hard work. Finally, Newcastle United gave the British something to smile about because of their horrible performance during the playoffs. Of course Miami Fusion didn't had any playoff match but they are the champ of their Division due to the fact they ended up on the top spot. Below are the match ups: Cienciano vs Miami Fusion Valencia CF vs Newcastle United These matches will have of course a home and away game which will decide in the end which one goes to the final series. |

8-30-07 12:17am Division A and B Final Matches!| There are the 2 finals for their respective divisions and it looks like a war between Peru and Spain. Each final has a team from reach respective country and it will be a couple of finals to remember. The most feared of these teams is Valencia CF(Spain) which is undefeated through the season. Universitario will have a tough time playing against them and it will be harder with the injuries present. The other final consists of Cienciano and Real Madrid. In this final the Spanish team is also the favorite to win since they have all the super stars but will Cienciano with Cubillas make history? Only the final results will tell. These matches will be played on the 1st of September. The Division C final will also be played the same day. Tomorrow we have the Division C Semifinals. |

8-16-07 3:20pm Earthquake of Magnitude 7.9 Hits My Home Country....| Dark day for Peru as they were struck yesterday by an earthquake. The death toll right now is of about 437 and still rising. Sad day indeed.... |
8-16-07 3:19pm Update| Well here we are not much to say about new stuff except that I'll have the Division C standings as well as other stuff updated soon. I do have a problem and that problem is that my wireless connection is broken so I'll have to use other computers to update this site and do my other internet chores.

One more note, Mario Adventure V is around 15% done while Mario Adventure Remake is 10% done. |
8-12-07 6:43pm Sacrifices had to be made!| Yeah as the title refers to I will have to take down another section because I'm just too busy to work on it anymore. It was an upcoming section called NES Walkthroughs and well it didn't made much of an impact so it shouldn't be missed as much. I do feel bad for the baseball season to be taken down as well but I will have more time to work on other sections. |

8-12-07 5:46pm Game of The Week XIII: Alundra(PSX)| You want Zelda for the ps1? well you got it with this title and more! Alundra is just one of those games you can't overlook for the fact that it plays a lot similar to the legend of Zelda with a Sony style game-play. Alright so you have the slash and sword game-play as well as the fight bosses so what is left to look at in this title? Well you have the great soundtrack and of course the puzzles. This game has puzzles that'll keep you trying to figure out for hours which makes this game much more playing for because who doesn't want to use their head to play a game? I think everyone wants to use their heads to play a game sometime in their life. This game is also very long and the story is pretty solid as well. You'll keep finding clues of why are you here and why you have such powers. This is practically a must for any RPG fan and Sony fan as well. |
8-12-07 5:34pm NES Collection Update| 4 new cartridge scans from my collection has been added. Enjoy! |
8-5-07 10:00pm Division A Final| Well it's about time this division play end and the final standings are posted below. It was a very exciting first season of the league with a lot of surprising teams and other ones that disappointed during the first season of the Luis Games League. Alright, that's all for now and hope you will enjoy more of my site as we keep growing every day. |
8-5-07 1:00pm Game of The Week XII: Contra(NES)| There is not much to say about this game but to tell you that you will never find another classic like this one. Such a simple aspect turns into hours of fun even though the game only takes less than an hour to play. This game has a replay value that up to this day lives up to other legendary titles. You will find yourself coming back for more and more and create goals for yourself to accomplish. This game came out in the era of Rambo and has truly made everyone turn heads and pick up the controller to enter the vast world of Contra. This is a series that Konami took up and made it shine. I truly recommend playing this game and see if you can beat it without losing a life. I bet I can. |
