Wore the buttons out on that bad boy shown above. Amazing how much fun we had with a few red LED dashes. The really lucky kids got the two-sided head-to-head unit.
My SNES. Good god that was a life changer for me. 🙂 So many hours of funa nd getting lost in the games.
He-Man for the win then moved onto GI Joe at six.
Legos were (are) da bomb!!!
Still are. I was in Toys'R'Us the other day trying to decide with a bunch of other random Dads which Star Wars Lego sets were the best to buy for our kids. I spent way too much money.
"...for our kids" Uh-huh. Your inner 10-year old is deciding for you. You know the Star Wars set you really want to play with.
Nintendo 64!! What can beat up Diddy Kong Racing and GoldenEye?!?!!
After came Legos for sure.
N64, Legos, or Sticks and dirt.
I'm conflicted.
You forgot water and fire!
Side question: Best video game.
I think my friends and I wasted a whole year of our lives on a game called Dungeon Master on our Atari ST's.
I bet it would still play fairly well if you could get it for a PC.

The first zelda had me pretty locked down 😛
SimCity. The first time I looked at a clock and said "Its 11:00? How'd that happen?" Hours just melt by.
I was more like: 4 am?! Ah well, no sense even sleeping anymore
My favourite toy was a new Malvern Star Dragstar bike I got at ten. Let the local girls ride it in exchange for kiss. Thanks to that bike I had the best summer of my life.
I bet
