Good old days, mine was on a white Nintendo, it didn't come with alot of games so I was always looking for who to give me cartridge then. Seems everyone has forgotten the game "tank 1990" or am I the only one who liked it?

This game… I played till the last stage 8-4 several times..
From 1-1 to 1-2 to 4-1 to 4-2 to 8-1 to 8-2 to 8-3 to 8-4..

That level 8 nah dead zones… from akoto to alaja to that dragon throwing hammer to that red ball rolling.. super Mario game gave lots of kids real and great joy..

We literally mimed the tone and formed our own lyrics for those tones…

Wish I can have those times back.. adulthood not smiling on me..

Back in those days, NEPA was still relatively effective when compared to what is obtainable today

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?
I had one that allowed you to level skip to the last boss fight before the Princess. Those were the days.

Oga, na you misunderstand weyin i talk.

You said familycom was the first home game system in nigeria, in your initial post.

I only corrected you to say Atari was already available in nigeria years b4 familycom, and i was priviledged to own one.

I no argue who play game pass.i was only responding to your initial statement that i observed was flawed

Peace!

There used to be a game house at ojuelegba in the 90s called UNDER GROUND, where we played arcade games street fighter mortal combat and the car race, back then game dey sweet to play while standing,
Police no let us rest there then
