I think I ended up winning the world cup with every team in the end! I loved how they had that game mode with classic world cup finals through the ages too

Fuck I want to boot up my PlayStation and play all the Net Yaroze games on that one demo disc that had a load on it

"They will never make football look better than this!" I proclaimed, playing FIFA World Cup 98

A screenshot of World Cup 98 for the PlayStation, with a digital version of the Colombian football icon Valderrama looking extremely ropey.

I was utterly wowed by the PlayStation, we went straight from a NES and Game Boy to that and the jump to 3D covered so many flaws for me haha

Picked up some proper gems second hand as I think the PS2 was nearly out, remember gambling on this got 3 quid and loving it for instance

Absolutely shoved in there because they simply didn't know what else to do to pad the playtime

Anyway, thinking about *good* video games, the survival horror game Darkwood is currently only £3.50 on Switch

Very weird, oppressive, and fun! Buy it buy it buy it buy it

Ditto with old sports games, where do you mark some of those as "beaten"?

See I really bounced off Deadly Preminition, absolutely hated it and not in a good way!

I had the NES one and have decided that's my pick for the question too haha

I had T2: The Arcade Game for the Game Boy which is clearly utterly shit but I weirdly have fond memories of it

Thinking about this, the actual answer could be Terminator 2 for the NES. Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six and the original TMNT are also pretty garbage, but that T2 game is appalling!

What an entrance point to 32 bit gaming! Also, the second mention of Bubsy 3D to my post, which says it all

I missed the SNES generation but some of those games were basically criminal haha
