Who says games are for kids?
Probably the same guys who say comics and cartoons are for kids...
Well I guess this 50 something father of two, artist, gamer, Content creator, comic reading, movie loving and general all round nerd didn't get the memo! 😜

Don't forget, there might be something very un-useful in the kitchen?
And take a little something for the pooches too, but don't forget the condiments!

Still a nice size though, and there is something about the AmbiLight colour changes that match the screen content that just works so damn well...
I'd be lost without it now!

I have never wanted to smack someone in their smug-ass face quite as much as I do right now! 😠

Specifically MechWarrior 2, with it's Voodoo 3DFX support!

This is my character for my first ever play of Elden Ring...
Why would one want to hide such beauty? 😂

That is perfectly understandable!
I've had my 65" Philips OLED since 2022, with absolutely no regret.
Sure, it's big, particularly for a one bed flat, but it's the perfect size to fit between my console holding Kallax shelves! 🤓👍

I'd argue that the CPC doesn't have a single game that would make an actual top 100. 😂

And it's criminal to not include the Gameboy, the best-selling system of its day, with undeniably one of the best games ever to be released...

Oh God, no!
MD and SNES, surely they can't do one without the other.
And I swear to God, if they do Amiga and not ST, after including the sodding CPC, I'm gonna explode!
I guess they don't do PSX or Saturn.
And I really hope that they include PC!
But nothing excuses the absence of NES and MS!

Makes sense, I forgot the retro thing...😆
10 years or more should be eligible, so anything 1994 or before.
They can't really do Megadrive without doing SNES.
And it would be sacrilege to do Amiga and not ST.
So, no handhelds, and possibly no PSX or Saturn.
At least not both!
And what about PC?

And Xbox of course, I forgot my darling OG Xbox! 😱
I deserve to be punished! 🥺
Although I do own over 100 boxed games for the system so I show my devotion physically... Oo-err! 😳

No ZX81, Dragon 32, Oric 1, Atmos, TI-994A.
But lets face it, you really didn't expect them to make the list with anything, except arguably the ZX81's Monster Maze and Mazogs (Later revised as Maziacs for the Speccy), which were both revolutionary titles and better than certain games listed so far!

The Colecovision had far better games than the Atari 2600.
Admittedly the Game Gear is pretty much a tiny Master System, and that's absent anyway.
We saw that the Megadrive is there... So that leaves 4, out of a potential 14, 16-bit or higher machines, without including DOS PC.
It's gonna suck!

I wasn't an Amstrad boy, but Roland on the Ropes probably deserved a shout!
I can't argue much with the BBC picks, although C64 Boulderdash is far better than Repton ever was, and yet again another missing great!
Then there's the biggest worry of all...
No NES, No Master System, no Atari 8-Bits?

A speccy list with no Ultimate Play the Game at all? WTF?
Alien 8 appears on the CPC list, when it's technically exactly the same and also not as good as Kinightlore, Underwurlde, Saberwulf or Jetpac that were all absent if favour of Trap Door, which looks great, but lacks gamelay lets be honest!

It was driving me mad too!
After Atari 2600 having no Vangard or Yars Revenge, and of course, as Dudley said, no River Raid.
To then go on to C64 with no Paradroid, no IK+, and no Montezuma's Revenge. It's sacriledge I tell you!
Especially as they could've also rectified the River Raid issue!
