Three Coin
Three timeless videogames we played in our youth
With the retro fad in full swing at the moment with everyone buying retro bags, clothes and anything with the word 'retro' stuck in front of it, we're going to take alook at retro gaming. This is where people buy or dig the old consoles out of their attic and basically remember their childhood. Sonic, Pacman, Tetris and the Mario Bros to name but a few. The thing about retro gaming is that it can be a cheap hobby -picking up an old console and 10 games is cheaper than getting a playstation 3 and one game. Now these games wont be as 'pretty' as the games of today, but they still are enjoyable to play. Here's afew of them to take us down memory lane.
Tetris. Nintendo had the brilliant idea of selling Tetris with their new hand held console, the game boy, which ended up clocking up 27 million consoles sold worldwide. The goal of Tetris was to clear all the blocks that dropped down from the top of the screen. The game gets faster as you progress through the levels and if the blocks reach the top of the screen its game over. Once Tetris was in the home almost all the family engaged in playing it.- so simple to get ino, yet so hard to put down.
Pacman. Everyone in their forties will remember Pacman. This was THE videogame of the 1980s, where players navigated Pacman around the maze to eat all the white balls and avoid the ghosts. Released in 1980, the game caught the imagination of the world and became a merchandising bonanza, with everything from books, tv shows, t-shirts and cds based on Pacman.
The Super Mario Bros. At the height of 'Mario mania' he was more well known to kids than Mickey Mouse was in the ninties. First appearing in the game Donkey Kong, and dubbed 'Jumpman', Mario and his brother Luigi got their break on the NES console from Nintendo in the eighties, and didnt look back. Mario and Luigi would need to save the Princess from the claws of Bowser, a giant dinosaur. This was a journey which required them to jump on turlte shells, use mushroom powerups and collect coins for extra lives. Mario's range of games has gone from platformers to racing, tennis, golf, RPGs and many others.
