🕹️ #RetroTrivia about the game consoles of our childhood
All of my friends owned a PS1 but I went for the N64 because I wanted to play Mario Kart 64 and nothing else. 😆
I played many PS1 games on my friend's consoles. That way I experienced the birth of fundamental game series like Tekken, Gran Turismo, Silent Hill, Resident Evil or GTA. :underheart:
Did you also have to make a choice for one of the two consoles? Which one did you pick and why? 🤔
Remember always sitting next to a light source when playing on my Game Boy. In the end it always was about playing as much as possible, no matter the circumstances 😆
How did you deal with the lack of light or did you even have one of these Light Max? 💡

...of Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country was released, which resulted in its computer-generated graphics becoming the norm for contemporary SNES games. 🤩

....which were originally developed for the GameCube, were updated with many of the features that were first implemented in Corruption, such as a new control scheme based on the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. 🎮

I never got hands on a SNES as a kid but have so much fun now catching up all these gems. :catPOWER:
How mind-blowing must be the experience to play masterpieces like Super Metroid or Zelda in the 90's as a kid when they were released. :fatyoshi:

This is the part of my collection I present in a display case below my TV. 📺
I don't have many guides but I like to collect them. There is a guide for my all time favorite Silent Hill and for the first generation Pokemon games I used to catch all 151 Pokemon couple of years ago. 📖
What are your thoughts about guides as collectibles in a time when the Internet offers all answers to your questions? 🌐
