Classic Video Games You Miss

[Mike D]

ta mate, I did read about Jackson later on, I loved the sonic music, some of them seemed to have melodys from chart songs but was too young to know, my dad hated the sound effects on sonic, boing boing fuckin boing he'd say.

I used to get the comics and mags, always wanted a sega cd.

always sounded 70s to me this one

Mario or Sonic?

 

When I got a PSP years ago and had them all at my fingertips to revisit, gotta say Mario hadn't aged very well at all but when I fired up Sonic 2 I did a great big nostalgia in my pants.

[Mike D]

I never had a Nes but my cousin did and she hardly ever played on it so I used to as my auntie used to minds us some afternoons after school. she got a Snes later too.

 

I liked all the Mario's, they where all different.

 

also the Nes controllers would kill after a while, the Sega Mega drive ones where comfy. used to keep my thumb on A all the time and just flick B with the same thumb on Sonic.

[chauncey]

Aye, Mega Drive controllers were the tits. My cousin had a Master System (the one with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in) and it had this mystique because we never owned one but in hindsight that console was a piece of shit compared to the NES.

 

Sega and Nintendo ruled hard but Disney made some belting games in the early-mid 90s too: Castle of Illusion, Aladdin, Quackshot, The Lion King and my favourite Mickey Mania.

I assume you mean Games Master Mike? Not Games World (or is that something else?)

 

I had a NES, SNES, Master system, Commadore 64 and Megadrive. I loved them all in different ways.

[Mike D]

games world was the one on Sky1, Big boy Barry, anyone remember that?

[Mike D]

haha, didnt know David Walliams was on it and Jet from Gladiators was the Gamesmistress.

Walliams wasn't even funny then!

[chauncey]

games world was the one on Sky1, Big boy Barry, anyone remember that?

 

Was it on early before school and presented by Dominik Diamond? Can vaguely remember a show on Sky One which was scandalously similar to Gamesmaster and presented by DD but it might not be the one you're referring to.

[Mike D]

Gamesworld was on a 5 times a night through the week I think, each day was different like a different theme, tuesdays was big boy barry, think it was on about tea time.

just seen a few clips on Youtube, awful thing but used to watch it all the time, presented by Bob Mills.

Gamesmaster was the one with Dominic Diamond on and Patrick Moore was the Gamesmaster, channel 4, think it was friday nights?

[Mike D]

so what was the Sega channel then? dont remember that and I always thought at the time I knew everything there was to know about Sega.

 

I was totally drawn in by the merchandise and advertising, been having a good think back of all the things I used to get, from the comics, pyjamas, cuddly sonic! sweets, had the posters from the comics and the ones you got with the games on my bedroom wall, even got into Formula1 at that time and supported the Williams team because they had Sonic on the car.

 

still cant decide what I liked better or what was cooler out of Mario and Sonic, I can remember buying Mario stickers, toys from Mackies and had a radio controlled Mario Kart that sat on my computer desk, I just liked them both at different times.

 

[chauncey]

The Sega Channel was a big fuck off cartridge which was permanently hooked to your cable box and you could download fifty different games per month. Was boss for discovering 'off radar' games which you'd never play otherwise (Aerobiz Supersonic was bummed on a regular basis) and made all the other cartridges we owned redundant. Given this was the mid 90s it was pretty much ahead of its time.

[Mike D]

Brilliant! never knew about it, i would have loved that we had cable at the time too. did you have to send off for the box?

just been having a read up about it and there is some vids on youtube.

I had Echo the dolphin, but really didn't 'get it'.

[Mike D]

when I got my megadrive think it come with about 5 games, one of those was Ecco but I traded it in not long after for something else.

it also came with 3 games on one cartridge, columns, bike racing game and world cup italia 90which where ok.

[Mike D]

Has anyone seen the film The Cove ?

 

Now that would make a great computer game, The Cove starring Echo The Dolphin.

[Mike D]
