I almost didn’t make it to Cinema Wasteland this year. I had been planning to go for about two months, shooting messages back and forth with my good buddy Louis about how amazingly killer the weekend was going to be, especially since I only get to see him and select other friends of mine around this time of the year.

While I’m not much of a gamer per se, the NES and Sega Genesis system played a vital role in my varied cast of childhood escapes. I ultimately gravitated toward Sega as my go-to system, racking my thumbs with iconic games like Mortal Kombat, Road Rash, Sonic the Hedgehog and subsequently delving into more obscure titles like Comix Zone, Boogerman and the oh-so overlooked gem Skitchin’. However, I still find myself invariably drawn to that 8-bit allure of those classic NES games. So when I stumbled across Secret Video Game Tricks, Codes & Strategies in a nameless and dust-ridden porno...
