Probably not as old as it seems. 36. First consoles were sort of handed down from older siblings. Played Atari until the N64 came out, NES and SNES games are just what what I always played at my best mate's house.

Damn. Well I dobbed myself in there didnt I. I still remember unwrapping the Intellevision.

I'm sure I've probably missed some favourites but here goes

DOS
Jeopardy

The game show games from the 80's/90's were great (on pc/commodore 64/amiga etc).

My main experience was Wheel of Fortune on Commodore 64, it was great - showing off being able to solve the puzzles with so few letters revealed. Family Feud was a tad bit harder because of the American based questions/answers. The current-ish generation of the same games rarely ever save your progress (eg: returning champion/keeps tally of prize money won etc) - whereas these games from back then did.

In the 90's I was pleased to be able to play some of them again (Family Feud/Wheel of Fortune).... slightly disappointed having to put up with the color scheme (yellow/red/green) as opposed to having multi colours on the Commodore 64.

 

[Cruyff14]

PS1:

• Small Soldiers
• Toy Story 2

I had Small Soldiers, that was a tough game.

Toy Story 2, great shout. What an excellent game it was (as was the first).
