Hahaha! This brought back sweet memories 🤣. If you had that Terminator console back then, you were truly living large. I still remember crowding with friends, struggling with Duck Hunt gun and passing pad for Contra like it was Olympics.

As for Mario’s princess… me I no go lie, I no reach there. Always dying on top that castle stage 😅.
Rapmoney:
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?

Did you know that Super Mario Bros is just 32kb in size? Crazy how much they were able to cram into that small size.

The days of Pacman, dangerous Dave and shadow, games we played on PC before getting the super mario game console. The days of diskette (3½ floppy A). Indomie shidren will never relate grin
I am very happy to see my people here. Pac-Man and Dangerous Dave, even chips challenge.

Dangerous Dave had a comic book to. Many people didn't know about that.

850
You be big boy then o

In 2006, my transport fare to school was #20
Pocket money was #60, my parent bought this game for us then, neighbour go come play
If them off light, dem come bring am back, if we dey far away from home, the speed we go take run come house ehh
Chai life was good then
Life was good because bills were not on you...at that time, the masses were still doing protest regarding bad economy, ASUU was going on strike back to back... People were still protesting for increase in fuel price... is like a girl who is in a relationship where the man buys everything for her, the day the relationship ends and she starts taking responsibility for her expenses, that's the day she will realize that adulthood is hard

I was a well-respected highly sought after champion in my hood back then. Funny enough, one faithful day, we heard a knock on our door, it was someone from a family in the neighbourhood coming to invite me over to their house just to play Super Mario Bros. They've struggled to get to the end. I felt like a hero. Got there, smashed the bosses and ended the game in grand style.

Smiles.... Fond memories....

The dangerous Dave we played on PC had just 9 levels which we eventually completed countless times. Those games can damage keyboard but we go dey manage am like that. Maybe that's why my dad decided to get the super mario game console make the computer rest grin

You dey play Mario with cheat just to rescue princess from the dragon, when some of us can actually take just a life, take a good number of power ups and growth and shooting power to finish the game in just one time.....
