So back in the day, it’s safe to say the Nintendo 64 bested the Sega Saturn…
But it’s now 2025.
Which console has survived the test of time?
Definitely a win for Saturn.
The games have held up far better, and there are more I want to play.

Yes, it’s a magazine advert for Commando, but which video game system does this “screen shot” belong to?

"Haven't played OutRun?
You haven't lived."

How true are these words ?

Is there a console or computer that….
1) You haven’t played at all / very much
2) you _know_ you will LOVE it
For me, it’s the Sega Dreamcast.
I have one, and games, but haven’t played it - but I know it’s perfect for me.
What is yours?

It’s not a video game, but did anyone have “Test Match” from the 1980s?
I used to see it in various catalogues back in the day but I’ve never seen it irl.
What say you?
Would it hold up in 2025?

Today it was car headlamp wipers.
They were very cool in the 80s and 90s.

Bomb Jack on the ZX Spectrum is so smooth and playable, even today!
There are some games that will always hold up as, just great games, no matter how much time passes.

A video game this good should not exist on an 8-bit system.
And yet it does.
It is an incredible port of Street Fighter II on PC Engine.
