Ralph Baer

A brilliant inventer who came up with the first proto-type home video game system, titled "The Brown Box", later remodeled and mass produced in 1973 as the "Magnavox Odyssey". Ralph Baer is widely considered by some as "The father of video games" even though pioneers like Nolan Bushnell and Steve Wozniak pioneered some of the earliest coin-op games; some of which existed before the Brown Box.

Sidearms

A coin-op game released by Capcom/Romstar in 1986. The full title was Sidearms Hyperdyne in the U.S. and Hyperdyne Sidearms in Japan. Sidearms was a very underated and somewhat rare shooter/shmup with a Robo-Tech type theme. The game featured both 1 and 2 player simultaneous action, horizontal and vertical scrolling, several stages ranging from moderate to downright difficult, challenging and sometimes huge bosses, a special power-up that unlocked a dual mecha transformation and other bonus features. The game was ported mostly to computers such as the Atari ST, and Commodore 64 as well as the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 and also Sony's PSP in a Capcom compilation. Sidearms was the second game in a series known as "Jetpack Hero" which started with Section-Z and ended with Forgotten Worlds. They are related only in that they have a similar layout and gameplay; each game in the series has it's own storyline.

"I can't believe how accurate this port of Sidearms is and the sound is better than the arcade verion!!"

Snotrod

Improved Definition: Snotrod is one of the four young street racers from the Disney/Pixar film, Cars. He is a 1971 Pro Street Plymouth 'Cuda, sporting a custom grill, "Hemi-orange" paint, phantom decals, Torque Thrust D rims, redline tires, a large blower with an over-sized air scoop, Zoomie exhaust pipes and orange under glows. Also his body style closely resemble that of the new Dodge Challenger concept car. Snotrod normally lags a few car lengths behind his pack buddies; Boost, DJ and Wingo to allow braking distance for his super-charged sneezes which tend to add on an uncontrollable burst of speed.

Boost: "Oh no... Snotrod!" Wingo: "He's gonna blow!!"
