Q “What are you playing?” A “Super Mario Advance 4, Super Mario Bros. 3” Q “What console?” A “A port on the Gameboy Advance of the SNES remake of the NES game, on MiSTer.” Simples.

What is the largest sprite character in video games? I’m going for Earthquake (Samurai Showdown, Neo geo) It was absolutely amazing to see a character of this size. But what say you?

What did you think of the Lemmings ports? It will always be an Amiga game to me, but they did a great job with it on consoles.

So back in the day, it’s safe to say the Nintendo 64 bested the Sega Saturn… But it’s now 2025. Which console has survived the test of time? Definitely a win for Saturn. The games have held up far better, and there are more I want to play.

Yes, it’s a magazine advert for Commando, but which video game system does this “screen shot” belong to?

"Haven't played OutRun? You haven't lived." Was the quote on the box art of 2006 Coast 2 Coast on PS2. How true are these words ?

Is there a console or computer that…. 1) You haven’t played at all / very much 2) you _know_ you will LOVE it For me, it’s the Sega Dreamcast. I have one, and games, but haven’t played it - but I know it’s perfect for me. What is yours?

It’s not a video game, but did anyone have “Test Match” from the 1980s? I used to see it in various catalogues back in the day but I’ve never seen it irl. What say you? Would it hold up in 2025?

Really enjoying this Super Nintendo SNES game. Was not expecting the mode 7 on this boss ! (Run Sabre, heavily inspired by “Strider”)

It’s odd what you can feel nostalgic about… Today it was car headlamp wipers. They were very cool in the 80s and 90s.

Some very early video games, absolutely nailed whole genres. Match Point on ZX Spectrum is one of those games. Do you have any other examples?

A video game this good should not exist on an 8-bit system. And yet it does. It is an incredible port of Street Fighter II on PC Engine.

It’s always odd, and interesting to see a game for another rival manufacturers console. Sega’s flagship title Outrun on PC Engine HU card for example. Do you have any others / favourites?

I love Ghouls N Ghosts / Super GNG on any system it was ported to. It’s always a great time.
