This Video Game Made Life Fun For 80s And 90s Kids (Throwback Photos) by Rapmoney(op): 5:19pm On Sep 04, 2025
I just stumbled on the Super Mario Bros game that was first released in 1985. Fond memories. I used my saved pocket money to buy the Terminator Game Console that we used in playing Super Mario and other games like Contra, Duck Hunt and Mortal Kombat.

I literally trekked to school for a long time just to save N850 which I used to purchase the game. This was in 1996. My house became a theatre, always filled with friends until Popsy seized the game and asked me to concentrate on my books. If you get this game console that year, you be sabi pikin.

How many of you saw the princess at the end in Super Mario?

If not for my elder brother that bought it then, I wouldn't have played the game. I'm reserved, I don't go to game House to pay for playing game like most of the children were doing then.

I bought mine for 1k. It came with a gun which I used in playing duck hunt.

There were inbuilt games there like 1,500 games in 1. But most of them were repetitions. Mine had Olympics, Super Mario, car race, excite bike, duck hunt, soccer, wrestling and many more.
