Nice one Mr Op. Sweet memories. Played the following games then, only had a gameboy later wey my bro gave. But he used that game do shakara for me. I dey walker go Mega games that year Ikeja GRA just to play street fighter capcom, MK, KI on Arcade then. A coin was 10 or 20 naira. If you lose round one, round 2, your money don go. Aside, arcade, my friend's aunt bought him Nes, playstation and later Nintendo wii(for early 2000s), somehow those consoles dey spend some days for my house due to the extra tv wey dey our bedroom. ![]() I sabi roll the joystick with bottons to hit combos, especially in Killer instinct. I dey play console wella. Played sega but when i begin play Nintendo the british and American versions, enjoyed playing soccer deluxe on it, i begin dislike sega. Then playstation 1 came which i begin like that one, pes, enjoyed Donkey kong, mario kart on Nintendo 64. Kai Op you try.

The moment I read the headline, I knew that the op would be referring to Mario game. Those days a few could afford it, those few used it as business, we used to pay.i even can't remember I how much. Na so I go dey collect lives till I finish the game to go meet the queen I remember one level that's so difficult to finish but with many lives , I pass the frog/ crocodile . Later the game owner changed it, say na only 3 lives we go use, so we won't be able to stay long in the game before it came over. Those day light plenty for Naija o Good old days |

ceejay80s:Very very wrong about Familycom being the first. Ever heard of Atari with joy sticks? I was rocking this back in early 90s. There's also this stick-man video game that had knobs as pads (where you defend the ball against ur opponent) Cant remember the name. These were the eye-openers then b4 Familycom, sega and all |

The console was also called Fammy Com. My neighbor had it back in the 90s. Me and my brothers had Atari, and then later, Sega Genesis. Great memories. On my Sega, my favorite games were Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and Mortal Kombat. This was back in the early to mid 90s. We would play the game so much that the battery would get super hot, and then we would wrap in nylon and put in the freezer to cool it down. ![]() I liked Mario, but not as much as I liked Sonic. I was a Sega fan to death, so I always stuck with Sonic, while Nintendo fans loved Mario. |
