Damn! This guy is making me miss Sega already.

Yeah, I preferred it to NES so, for me also Sega was the ish initially. Sonic was Uber lit. However, when SNES came to town with so much more cartridges from the Japanese and the American versions. And the converter. It was hard to want to spend precious time with a Sega (ssce and jamb dey ground for me cool at the time)

When I saw "video game", my mind went to the traditional game console, control pad/joystick and monitor setup. I had no idea that mobile phone games' revenues were being discussed.

I miss Mortal Kombat III, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Tekken 2 and Samurai Showdown (yes, I'm all for combat games)

This is a very good suggestion bro but there are no grahics expert here in Nigeria unlike what we have in other countries.I have not downloaded any Nigerian games since I started playing games and think they are good in mission, adventure, and driving games.

They should create Grand Theft Auto Nigeria about a virtual police to curb violence in the country. Locations like Ikorodu, Benin and Port Harcourt should be priority.
And Maiduguri too. It should be GRAND THEFT AUTO BOKO HARAM.

I use unity . I learnt most of what i know from lynda and youtube...i also got videos from unity website and downloaded complete projects from their asset store, modified those projects and practiced.

Thanks bro, I learned most things from YouTube too. I code with Java, my PC is the challenge.. it's not that really bad, 4gb Ram and 500gb ROM.
but I've so many large softwares on it(Maya,eclipse,cs6 master collection, unity, AutoCAD etc) and these has made it very slow in time of execution.
I need something of 8 or 16 ram and 1TB ROM.

if you have any idea you can always share with me please, it's not easy to do stuff alone.
