Alex the kid, built in on the master system.

Sonic, Road Rash, Duck Tales and Street Fighter 2 on the Mega Drive.

Daytona 500 and Sega Rally at the arcades, those were the days! (in fact our local arcade still has both of those machines, Daytona is a bank of 4!)

Wolfenstein 3D was the first PC game I ever played.

Sounds very familiar!

I just ran ARMA2 and had a look at how much RAM it uses, then worked out how long it would have taken to load from a cassette...

Chucky Egg and Frogger on the Dragon 32 are memories from my childhood.

The previous post mentioning Tekken makes me feel very old, I was 21 when Tekken was released FFS
