Mega Drive 16 bit! Sonic the hedgehog 2, I played that as a kid and I play it as an adult still, I’ve only
finished it twice!!

RICHARD PIOTROWSKI
The secret of evermore. It was basically the game that got me into gaming. It was mystical, had great
combat, time travel and space travel. With a great storyline to boot.

LEXI CUTIONER
I’d have to say Metal Gear on NES. Those were the days, before graphics trumped story.

AARON RODRIGUES

Shining Force 1 for Sega Mega Drive. Amazing game play and gripping storyline. Graphics were great
for the time. Anyone who hasn’t played it hasn’t lived!

BEN GETLEY
Commodore 64 - where in the world and where in time is Carmen Sandiego? Plus many, many more
games! Still have it and have had it for a long time!!! Lol...

MICHELLE P GOWER
Sonic 3 plugged into sonic and knuckles. Because the combination of game play, scenery and power ups
represents the Pinnacle of sonic games completely unmatched by modern takes on the sonic franchise.

KAMRON BROOKS

Super Mario Bros on NES. It came with console & was all I had for very long time & got me into video
games, still play it to this day over 25 years later.

JASON JAMES
Duck hunter on the NES because I felt like a bad arse Star Wars character with my laser pistol and every
time I saw that damn dog laughing at me I wanted to punch him in his face!

JASON THOMAS
My first memory of video game was playing the James Bond The Spy Who Loved Me
on my Amiga back in 1990 when I was 5. It may not be the most memorable game
from history but it definitely stuck clearly in mine.

BRETT ELLIS
Chrono trigger hands down is the greatest RPG of the early 90s, with in-depth story
and great battle system anyone would lose hours, days, months trying to see all alternate endings. LONG LIVE RETRO GAMING!

SAM JENNINGS
My favorite game on pc was Myst at that time the graphics were wow the best
in its day the story and puzzles were great. You could take your time no rush i
played it for hours , days, Weeks and the best part u could choose the ending
which is one of the reasons I loved it so much.

STEPH MURRAY

My favorite game was Commander Keen on my old 486 computer!

BILLY BEELSON

Lufia 2. When people mention tearful moments in JRPG’s memories usually flood towards FF7. That moment
has nothing when compared to the tragedy that is the
ending to Lufia 2. Combine this with being a solid game
with a great story, music and battle system and you get
my nod as a lifetime favourite.

MICHAEL TOWNS
Best retro console is the Super Nintendo. So
many great games in the best of all time list come
from there & it also has the best game ever on
it... Super Mario Bros 3! USA had more games
then us though.

JEAN-PAUL BARTOLOMEI
Super Mario Bros on the NES was the first game that
I played on a console. That game got me into games.
I still go back and play it when I’m nostalgic. I loved
being able to use fire against my enemies.

“YOUR SAY”

We asked Sticky Trigger &
Gametraders fans what
their favourite retro game
or console is..
Here’s what they said...

ANGEL ARMSTEAD
I would have to go with Gradius III for SNES. Not only was it an outstanding side scrolling shooter, but it had a
soundtrack that was purely intoxicating. I still find myself humming tunes from it at work regularly!

ADAM FOSTER
Without a doubt Chrono Trigger on the SNES wins this topic of debate every time!! There was so much about that
game that was unique and made it so fun to play! The story and time travel concept were amazing.
