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.

I’ve seen a few movies where this is the core plot !

If you know… you know!

Megadrive
SNES

PlayStation <——-

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 ?

Sometimes you are late to the party.

I had a white pc engine with no easy way to play in the U.K. for over 20 years !

You need to fix this asap 😀

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?

I loved this game, still do.

“Odin computer graphics team”

Their market is very much ks1 and ks2 owners.

Myself included 😂

What’s the difference with this and ks2 ?

Really enjoying this Super Nintendo SNES game.

Was not expecting the mode 7 on this boss !

(Run Sabre, heavily inspired by “Strider”)

I’ve added it to Trans Am and JetPac on my go-to list!

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!

It can’t be any good because I’m not in it 😀

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 my favourite of all the early “slide and shoot” games.

I remember it from the arcade back in the day.

Atari VCS Phoenix

Some video games never age

This is the sign of a 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.

Don’t go back - move forward here

Both of course!

Megadrive first, an import from Japan m, and then pal snes on day 1.

Or didn’t have an Amiga 😀

It drowns out important voices who want to be a part of the community. And we will end up with the same old people doing the same old things to get clicks.

I’ve come to the conclusion that starter packs are not a good idea

They stifle the joy of finding new accounts and just promote the same old people over and over

Sega master system

Starting Sunday correctly !
