How to clean a nylon carrying case.

For the past decade I've had an obsessive compulsion to organize everything, and my video game collection is no exception. Luckily for me video game companies had both the foresight and the marketing prowess to have video game organizers made. Not only do I use them to keep my video games organized, but I also collect them even if I have no immediate use for them. The most common video game organizers that I happen to find are carrying cases made of a nylon material, and although the material is strong and rugged, it can hold on to dirt and other ... Read more

Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World

As a fan of the Super Mario games, especially Super Mario 3, I was excited when I first got my Super Nintendo because it came with both Super Mario World and the Super Mario All-Stars cartridges. Nearly 10 years later I found out Nintendo made a special cartridge with both games in one! Needless to say this started my search for this cartridge, which I managed to find rather quickly! I will be reviewing the cartridge as the cartridge and not so much as the game. These cartridges aren't rare but ... Read more
