Who says games are for kids?
Probably the same guys who say comics and cartoons are for kids...
Well I guess this 50 something father of two, artist, gamer, Content creator, comic reading, movie loving and general all round nerd didn't get the memo! 😜

And Xbox of course, I forgot my darling OG Xbox! 😱
I deserve to be punished! 🥺
Although I do own over 100 boxed games for the system so I show my devotion physically... Oo-err! 😳

No ZX81, Dragon 32, Oric 1, Atmos, TI-994A.
But lets face it, you really didn't expect them to make the list with anything, except arguably the ZX81's Monster Maze and Mazogs (Later revised as Maziacs for the Speccy), which were both revolutionary titles and better than certain games listed so far!

The Colecovision had far better games than the Atari 2600.
Admittedly the Game Gear is pretty much a tiny Master System, and that's absent anyway.
We saw that the Megadrive is there... So that leaves 4, out of a potential 14, 16-bit or higher machines, without including DOS PC.
It's gonna suck!

I wasn't an Amstrad boy, but Roland on the Ropes probably deserved a shout!
I can't argue much with the BBC picks, although C64 Boulderdash is far better than Repton ever was, and yet again another missing great!
Then there's the biggest worry of all...
No NES, No Master System, no Atari 8-Bits?

A speccy list with no Ultimate Play the Game at all? WTF?
Alien 8 appears on the CPC list, when it's technically exactly the same and also not as good as Kinightlore, Underwurlde, Saberwulf or Jetpac that were all absent if favour of Trap Door, which looks great, but lacks gamelay lets be honest!

It was driving me mad too!
After Atari 2600 having no Vangard or Yars Revenge, and of course, as Dudley said, no River Raid.
To then go on to C64 with no Paradroid, no IK+, and no Montezuma's Revenge. It's sacriledge I tell you!
Especially as they could've also rectified the River Raid issue!

Yeah, I already own a gaming PC, but the idea of hooking up a STEAM capable device straight to the lounge TV for couch play is legit exciting!

I've never played Purple Saturn Day, but I can tell you this for nothing...
Speccy Altered Beast 67%, not on your nelly mate!
Take 50 off that... 17% is way more than fair for this abysmal, eyesore, jerky bag of shite!

It's kind of love and hate thing for me...
I loved the old Chritopher Reeve movies, of course!
And the Dean Cain adaptation for Louis & Clarke.
But in general I find Supes way to OP to really get behind the character.
With Krytonite and magic his only real weakneses, it can get a bit boring!
