Gamer question of the day… X Y Z / A B C Which button is: Jump Fire Magic
Retro gaming pet hate No. 317 Which menu item is selected? (Up and down just keep rolling between the two)
When games suddenly get crazy difficult levels for no reason: No. 117 Aladdin (Sega Megadrive) The Escape Inside the lamp Absolutely brutal platforming, leaps of faith, disappearing ledges, pit of death.
2 hours later and this worm is meeting the king!
I’ve just received the rank of…. “Worm master” But on what game? ‘
This is the #Lego Star Trek model we really want. Large model of the Enterprise, with the saucer being a minifig scale bridge.
I’ve still got mad skillz and an unrivalled zest for the race! Sega Super Licence…
I could drive an 850hp F1 car with a 7 speed gear shift around Monaco before I could drive irl…. Super Monaco GP On Sega Megadrive, it’s still great to this day! ‘
Q “What are you playing?” A “Super Mario Advance 4, Super Mario Bros. 3” Q “What console?” A “A port on the Gameboy Advance of the SNES remake of the NES game, on MiSTer.” Simples.
The biggest graphical jump in video game history was zx spectrum (1982) to zx spectrum (1987)
Can you hear this switch on the SNES? A beautiful clunk !
What is the largest sprite character in video games? I’m going for Earthquake (Samurai Showdown, Neo geo) It was absolutely amazing to see a character of this size. But what say you?
What did you think of the Lemmings ports? It will always be an Amiga game to me, but they did a great job with it on consoles.
So back in the day, it’s safe to say the Nintendo 64 bested the Sega Saturn… But it’s now 2025. Which console has survived the test of time? Definitely a win for Saturn. The games have held up far better, and there are more I want to play.
Yes, it’s a magazine advert for Commando, but which video game system does this “screen shot” belong to?
"Haven't played OutRun? You haven't lived." Was the quote on the box art of 2006 Coast 2 Coast on PS2. How true are these words ?
Is there a console or computer that…. 1) You haven’t played at all / very much 2) you _know_ you will LOVE it For me, it’s the Sega Dreamcast. I have one, and games, but haven’t played it - but I know it’s perfect for me. What is yours?
It’s not a video game, but did anyone have “Test Match” from the 1980s? I used to see it in various catalogues back in the day but I’ve never seen it irl. What say you? Would it hold up in 2025?
Really enjoying this Super Nintendo SNES game. Was not expecting the mode 7 on this boss ! (Run Sabre, heavily inspired by “Strider”)
I’m a huge Sinclair zx spectrum fan and love Ultimate Play The Game but… Ive never played PSSST before… Time to put that right!
Which video game has the best…. TURBO / NITRO button I’m going for Super Hang On, but what say you?
It’s one of those days… … a very good day!
It’s odd what you can feel nostalgic about… Today it was car headlamp wipers. They were very cool in the 80s and 90s.
It’s odd what you can be nostalgic about… Currently for me, it’s industrial sized tins of baked beans.
