I actually have a real Fender Strat Sunburst guitar made in Fullerton, CA (USA Model). I’d love to get one of these so I better start saving up for it.

Check out the video below of it in action:

At $300.00 USD, it’s a little pricey, but considering it’s made of real wood, has a real Fender paint job and basically a real guitar less strings, it’s worth it.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Sega Genesis, we’re putting the power back in the fans’ hands and letting you determine the next title we’ll release on Xbox LIVE Arcade! Just pick from the Genesis classics below and cast your vote between August 14th and August 21st.

What I found really amusing about this Sega Genesis Poll was the tag line at the bottom of the page that reads:

This poll powered by Blast Processing

Why that’s funny is because back in the day Sega claimed the Genesis had “Blast Processing”. Anyway, back to the poll…

You can vote once per day, and you can come back anytime to check on how your favorite game is faring.

Remember to cast another vote every 24 hours to help push your game over the top, or recruit your friends to stuff the ballot in favor of any one of these landmark titles.

Then be sure to return to genesispoll.com on Saturday, August 22, 2009, to see which title the fans chose to see on XBLA as part of this 20th anniversary celebration! Remember: GENESIS DOES!

The dark graphics and fantastic musical score really create a terrific atmosphere. This game is one of the better Sega Genesis titles for sure.

You control a knight battling his way through a constantly-changing landscape of graveyards, caves, mountains, and burning towns.

Along the way you encounter a remarkable variety of creatures including skull-spewing plants, zombies, and puking trolls.

When you take a hit, you lose your armor and have to run around in your undies until you find a new suit or die – dun, dun DUN!

New weapons and armor can be found in chests. You have to be careful though, because some chests contain an evil magician who will turn you into an old man or a charming little duck.

Ghouls ‘N Ghosts is a pretty hard game, but at least you get unlimited continues, so you can play all night. And you will.

The graphics are really detailed, and the tracks and off road trucks have a rugged 3D look to them. The tracks are small but exciting, with bumps, ramps, water, and multiple paths to race around.

Four little cars speed through the course, bouncing around and bumping into each other around every turn.

The controls are simple: one button accelerates and the other gives you a “nitro” turbo boost. It’s all the fun of Micro Machines without the limited view.

Bonuses randomly appear around the course, and between races you can upgrade parts and purchase more nitros.

It’s a shame that there’s no four-player mode, but my main complaint is that the computer-controlled gray car is just too hard to beat!

Super Off Road is a hidden gem as far as Sega Genesis games go. I can play this game over and over again.

Probably one of the best classic gaming emulators around, MAME now supports well over 8,166+ ROM sets and 4,215+ unique games.

I apologize in advance for the auto focusing going on in the video. I’ll turn that off for the next gaming video.

Moving along, here is the Metallica Guitar Hero song Cyanide on Hard:

Almost had 100% but ended up with 99%. Missed a note right around 3:22 in the video. Eh, will get it next time.

Some other Guitar Hero stats to mention were a 461 note streak, 5 star rating and a final score of 389,747. Not too bad.

I plan on recording some other gaming videos, so if you have requests, leave them in the comments. Enjoy the video.

The thing is a huge brick, but it works nicely. The game cartridge I’m showing in the video is the GENESIS 6-PAK that contains the following classic games:

• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Golden Axe
• Streets of Rage
• Revenge of Shinobi
• Columns
• Super Hang-On

Apparently the SEGA Genesis NOMAD is really rare. I’ve seen them go for $25.00 USD to over $100.00 USD on eBay, so who really knows?

Anyway, it does have a TV out and a second controller (Player 2) port, but if you plan on connecting it to a TV, why not just use a normal SEGA Genesis?

The game offers some engaging, yet repetitive, rapid-fire submarine action. Manning a yellow sub, you must rescue lost divers being chased by sharks.

The blue divers look funny as they kick frantically with jaw-snapping sharks on their heels. You’ll also have to contend with gray submarines that fire torpedoes.

Your sub can carry up five divers at a time, and considering they are nearly as large as your sub, you wonder how they can all fit in the thing! It’s like the clown car of the ocean!

Your oxygen is limited, but that’s rarely a factor. What is a factor is the small, unassuming ship patrolling above. He looks friendly enough, but that son of a [expletive] will try to ram your ass when you surface! Bastard!!

I love Seaquest’s bright visuals and crisp controls, but its gameplay gets old in a hurry, and not necessarily due to the difficulty level. Basically it’s the extra ships you get at every 10K that water down the challenge and drag things out.

Still, Seaquest by Activision is an appealing title that gets by mainly on the strength of its good looks.

This weekend only, the Video Marketplace is giving away the full, ten-minute version of MJ’s classic “Thriller” music video for your viewing pleasure.

Yep, the greatest music video of all time is free to download until the end of the day today.

Apparently this Kiosk has two NES controllers, a Grey Zapper Light Gun and is loaded with the following 16 classic NES games:

Tennis, Baseball, Soccer, 10-Yard Fight, Golf, Wild Gunman, Hogan’s Alley, Duck Hunt, Wrecking Crew, Excitebike, Kung Fu, Super Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Pinball, Clu-Clu Land, Stack-Up

I already own the actual cartridges for the games on this NES Kiosk, but man, if I had an extra $499.00 USD laying around, I’d probably bid on this auction.

Check out the details on the eBay auction listing.
