I used to love the old arcades, late 80's early 90's, Ingoldmells 🥰 oh god how it's changed.

Watching back retro games I used to love is such a trigger for happy nostalgia. Absolutely transports me to simpler times. 

 

Too many to mention TBH. I had a NES in the early 90s which I absolutely sessioned constantly. Friends had SNES, Mega Drives and Master Systems. I'd spend many hours at their houses after school. 

 

Just on the NES: 

 

Mario 3

Nintendo World Cup

Mega Man 2

Duck Hunt

RC Pro Am

Faxanadu 

A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia

Battletoads

 

Some of these games were so brutally difficult too. I never ever got past the 3rd level on Battletoads.

I forgot about Robocop! Also had that. Another brutal game if I recall.

Usually movie conversions are a bit crap but that was a good one, on all formats.  Megadrive did a RoboCop Vs Terminator as well, not as good but ok. One thing that spoilt the NES and SNES was the cardboard boxes, who came up with that idea 🤷

I had a mega drive and loved quite a few on it. 

 

Aladdin

Lion king

Donald and Mickey, I forget the name of the game but it was magic you had these rugs to stun enemies. 

Quackshot

James Pond

Cool Spot

Micro Machines

Street fighter II

Earthworm Jim

Sonic

Toejam and Earl

Shinobi

Fifa

Madden.

 

So many good memories on that console. I still have it now, it still works  and a few times a year I'll hook it up to an old little crt telly I've kept specifically for that console. Emulators never quite hit the spot for me though they're a great alternative if you don't have the original gear.

Being snook into the main bar of the Rose and Crown pub in Thringstone and my old man leaving me with a couple of quid in front of this machine....unreal times
