Not strictly a game,  but High Score on Netflix is a great watch if you're into the history of games.   1st episode is all about Space Invaders and Pac-Man.  Even back then people were modding games; that's where Ms Pac-Man came from. 

 

High Score!

I love VT!! Top tip again! Love you all.

I just got really excited because I managed to find this online. Criminally underrated IMO.

3777-ultimate-soccer-manager-98-windows-

I'm not very technical and usually when I download something like this, I can't get it working or I get a big horrible virus.

This was a big tease though. It was easy to download and install and it played the intro video perfectly. I got nostalgic listening to the music. Then it got the start screen but it was just black. 

Still, fun whilst it lasted..

This is a cool thread.

 

Atari 2600 and the Spectrum ZX were my first consoles.

Fondly remember playing Defender and Pitfall on the 2600 and CJ's Elephant Antics on the ZX.

 

The Mega Drive remains my favourite all-time console though. I recently found a badly broken one in the woods by my house, so brought it home and fixed it/did it up. Here it is today:

If you’ve got a ps1 or PS3 then the oh PlayStation version would work? Not as good as PC version though. I loved that game too, I’m still fairly sure I bought a unreleased 3d version of this or the cancelled 2000 version at a gaming trade show back in the early 2000s.

I didn't realise it was on playstation. Are you thinking of Premier Manager 98?

I used to love LMA Manager on PS1 too.

I'm only just realising how many football manager games there used to be haha.

Yeah your right I am. I did have USM on PC though and remember enjoying it. I think my favourite was FIFA Soccer Manager on PC, I lost countless hours as a Kid designing THE perfect stadium. Think it had Sir Bobby Robson on the cover. Great game.

Just bought myself a Anbernic RG350M handheld console, arrives Wednesday.

Emulates GB, GBC, GBA, PS1, SNES, SEGA and some more.

Something to do with the prolonged lockdown!

Metal Slug on the Neo Geo emulation. You're welcome :D

Id be itching to play some n64.  Pokemon stadium is one of thw most under rated games.

Id say n64 was probably the best console behind the switch they have done

Same!

That Pokemon Snap announcement is making me want to play the N64 version now.
