In all my years toiling away at Dr. Mario time and time again, in no way did I ever think its theme song could have lyrics due to my lack of any kind of imagination.  That’s where this video comes in.

Brentalfloss is the mastermind behind putting lyrics to the Dr. Mario Theme, and thanks to him, I know now Dr. Mario got his degree from watching medical dramas, can only prescribe red and blue pills, and diagnosed Princess Peach with crabs.

I’ve heard a lot of different remixes of some beloved old-school songs, but this is the first time I heard a remake rock this hard.  What makes the video more badass is how the artists, during their jam session, decide to play a little Mario with the lights off!  That takes this video…. TO THE EXTREEEEME!!

There’s a time in a Nintendo Fans life when you go back to the well to see if there’s water left.

Growing up in the 80’s, sports and video games would go together like apple pie. My brothers and I were fortunate enough to be pretty good athletes and played the games at home as well. This article will cover the best of the best from the decade. It will cover all systems as well as arcades.   Rankings depend on realism, fun factor, replay value, graphics and sound.

10. Summer Games – Epyx – 1984

Summer Games, this was a classic. It had variety, excellent graphics for its day and was lots of fun to play. I particularly enjoyed the diving event, one would need to make the most moves in the air and try to straighten the diver up for minimal splash.  The judges always favored their home country diver, very realistic feature!

• Pole vault
• Platform diving
• Sprinting
• Gymnastics
• Freestyle swimming
• Skeet shooting
• Rowing

Epyx continued with this genre and created Summer Games II, Winter Games, World Games and California Games. These were all great games  worth playing again any day of the week!
