Hi guys,
Just found out about an awesome website called Blow the Cartridge. It contains a ton of retro gaming comics, inspired by your old favourite (or possible non favourite) games. You can even request the author to draw a comic for the game of your choice.
If you’re interested in checking out, please click on the link below:
Blow the Cartridge: Retro Gaming Comics
You’ll find comics inspired by games such as Double Dragon, Giana Sisters, Way of the Exploding Fist and Superfrog.
What did you think of the website and the comics? Hope to hear from you. π
Have a good weekend (or what’s left of it that is.. ;))!
I’ve took a look at few. Some are rather loosely related to games they refer to but in general this is funny stuff. Brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you like it mate. π Some cool stuff there. Did you see the one about Superfrog? Catches the current situation when it comes to the gaming industry in my opinion. π

Thank you, I don’t start until the 23 for school.
Checked out the site, some of the comics are pretty damn funny, especially for some of the games were kind of lame.

That is great. π Cool that you liked the comics. Now I really must think of a game to suggest.. must find a lame one. π

Haha! That is an easy one; Eternal Champions. Hard to play, tried hard to rip-off Street Fighter and Moral Kombat, and had the most clunkiest gameplay. It was like the steroid version of both games, but too full of itself to care what anyone thought of it.

Interesting. I’ve never seen that game, so I must take a look at it. I’ll hit YouTube to see if I can find some footage of it in action. π

The site is amazing! I have heard of SO FEW of those games, but I just love retro. It’s precious!
I saw the ‘Dr Mario’ one, & can only imagine that one would be funny :). How clever, making a comic about a game you nominate. That’s just amazing creativity.
Great post (good find)!
