Games Dunk - by Grant Shepherd

Remember?

With all the talk about Next Gen consoles and groundbreaking games like GTAIV etc, i started thinking about some classic games and what was groundbreaking at certain parts in history.

I am going to start a new blog series about classic games of my generation, called 'Remember?'.

A series that will cover some of the earlier days in gaming history. Consoles like the sega master system, NES, SNES, megadrive, N64 plus many more will be covered.

All the historical games that defined a generation will be covered, not to mention some of the less accepted titles (which were sometimes surprisingly good).


The firsts blog reviews i will be giving will be of my earliest childhood gaming experiences with the Sega Master System. Games like Alex The Kid, Wonder Boy, Shinobi, Sonic The Hedgehog and many more.

I have chosen to revisit some of these classic games because for one it helps me be all nostalgic and remember all those good times i had when i was a youngster playing games in my living room. But more importantly it encourages everyone to start remembering the games we grew up around and the games which started it all. Because lets face it GTAIV would not be around without these early forms of gaming brilliance.

Im also encouraging all my new readers out there to tell me what games you would like me to revisit, because i want to provide you all with the best service possible.

Sounds like a good blog to look forward to. Sonic the Hedgehog, Enduro Racer, and Secret Command (which was actually a Rambo game but the name was changed in Australia!) were my absolute favourites on the Master System back in the day. Wow, memories.
