favourite childhood video game!

Top Three in no order.

Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES + GBA)
Micky Mouse in Castle of Illusion (Master System)
Street Fighter II (Arcade + SNES)

There's loads of games that I would easy play again and again, I'm VERY much of a retro gamer, really missed the days when a game would be a game and not something that you have to dedicate your life to. A lot of the games I have now don't get finished as by the time I can play again, I forgot where I was and what I was doing in it; sometimes I even forget how I even play the dam thing. lol

On another note, there's must be one or two games that you hate with a passion, as you or your parents brought it you and you had nothing else to play. Now a days, games collections get pretty big pretty quick, when I was a kid ;) I had to wait till Christmas, Birthdays or that special event to get a new game, so I was suck with having to play with so pretty lame games and the 2nd hand market is no where as good as it was now.

Mine all time hate is Ghostbusters (Master System), I was the first game I got for the master system with the console. Took me ages to understand how the game played, and when I finally could get to the last boss, I got right royally OWNED. Throughout time, I've tired to finish it again and again; and keep getting OWNED, then finally I played it on my playstation (don't ask), and killed the mofu and finally after over nearly 15 years, I saw the end credits, a scrolling white text screen on a green background. Yeah it was pants!

ballz - i remeber it being stupidly hard that i finally got upto the final boss one morning and left the megadrive on while i was at school and as i was exited to finally beat the game i ran upstairs and turned the megadrive on, meaning i turned it off... oh i wasnt happy :(

also remember an old WWF game on C64 that involved wiggling the controller like mad or bashing buttons... sounds terrible now but i loved it when i was younger
