Donkey Kong 3 – 10 Forgotten ’80s Video Games
Unbeknownst to most gamers, there was a third entry in the original Donkey Kong arcade saga. The reason that you may not remember it is due to some dubious decision making by Nintendo.

Daffy Duck – The Worst VHS Covers
Okay, we all grew up with Daffy Duck and this is not Daffy Duck. Maybe some weird foreign knock-off you see in Chinatown; Doffy Duck perhaps? There's so much ugliness to this cover. "Daffy's" feet aren't even proportionate with each other...

It's hard not to feel racist just looking at this cover. Added to the fact that it's supposed to be Christopher Lee in yellow face, he doesn't even look Chinese. Or threatening for that matter.
