The Lion King (1994) published by Virgin Interactive in the same year as Aladdin. The #game is very similar in terms of control, style, and music. However, there's one big difference. Very few people reached the levels where Simba grew up #platformer #gameBoy #Amiga #MSDOS #SNES

You can connect 4 paddles to the #atari2600. In those days when we still had friends, a chance to play with three of them simultaneously was priceless. And Warlords 1981 provided a unique opportunity to kick 3 of your friends' asses... simultaneously. #retrogaming #pvp #breakout

The Lost Vikings 1993 Erik, Olaf and Baleog get kidnapped by Tomator for an inter-galactic zoo. My dream was to play 3 characters at the same time with my friends. It would ruin the gameplay of this #puzzle #platformer, but as a child it never occurred to me. #SNES #Amiga #retro

OK @MJLambert_ @OakalyDokaly and probably another 6529 people with memory better then mine, mentioned that Micro Machines wasn't the first racing game by Codemasters. My bad! Grand Prix Simulator 1987 was! 14 tracks to #race single or coop vs comp #amstrad #atari #C64 #zxspectrum

Codemasters is one of the oldest British #game studios. After Sony ran out of license for the official #FormulaOne games, Codemasters picked it up and made the popular #F1 series releasing a new game every year. But I will remember their first #racing game Micro Machines (1991)

One of the few long games I completed as a child. For the resolution of 320x200 and #8bit color #PixelArt was perfect. Artists assembled a palette of 256 colors from several key colors and brown-beige tones to convey the atmosphere of the Stone Age. #retrogame #msdos #amiga #C64

Speaking of Boulder Dash, my favorite clone is Supaplex. I like the graphic theme with #diskettes, electrons and microchips. The most amazing thing for me was how the developers managed to make so many of such difficult levels. #retrogaming #amiga #pc #msdos #puzzle #freeware

Boulder Dash (1984) This #puzzle #game was firstly released for #Atari 8-bit and over time ported on another 23+ more platforms. Some levels were really tricky. And unlike many games of that time, Boulder Dash even now rocks! #retrogames #zxspectrum #C64 #NES #amiga #arcade

Fishing Derby (1980) One of the firsts #games released by #Activision. You can play vs your friend or AI. Always choose the left player because it has "one row advantage" and watch out for the shark! #Atari #Atari2600 #sports #simulator #retrogaming

Jazz Jackrabbit (1994) It's a blast to run around levels as fast as Sonic and use a gun to kill your enemies! Different types of ammunition such as rocker, toaster, RF missile, and dynamite. And don't forget to get a #bird. #retrogaming #msdos #action #platformer #2D

Comanche: Maximum Overkill (1992) The goal of the game is to fly military missions in a RAH-66 #Comanche attack helicopter and blow the targets. This was exactly one of those #games where you can perfectly play with a friend "you fly, I shoot". #voxels #simulation #retrogaming

Lemmings 1991 The #puzzle #game with an unusual mechanic where you have to guide little green creatures to the exit by assigning them different professions. The game was made by DMA Design. You may also have heard about another game made by this company, #GTA #retrogaming #amiga

River Raid (1982) is one of the coolest #games I had on my #Atari. The game has been noted for the great level design. And a little tip. To get more points it's safe to shoot all the fuel tanks before the first bridge, at least. #RiverRaid #Atari2600 #C64 #activision #retro

Pitfall! (1982) One of the best-selling #games on the #Atari 2600, with over 4 mil copies sold. The game might look primitive by modern standards but it has hundreds of screens with traps, enemies. And all code and data fits in 4kb. #Atari2600 #C64 #arcade #platformer #retro

Gobliiins 1991. Linear #quest where you control BoBo the warrior, Hooter the magician, and Dwayne the technician. #Game with adorable graphics and animation but quite hardcore. The #goblins have a health bar and wrong actions cause damage. #retro #gaming #adventure #puzzle #amiga

The Incredible Machine (1992) #Physics based #puzzle #game with endless possibilities. Everyone called it just TIM. Because of the complexity, I'm as a kid not always could find straightforward solution so sometimes I spent hours finding some pixel-perfect layout. #retro #gaming

Prince of Persia (1990) was a great leap forward in the quality of #animation seen in computer #games. Designer used as reference for the characters' movements videos of his younger brother doing acrobatic stunts. #platformer #retrogame #rotoscoping #jaffar #princess

Babytype (1993) isn't a "game", it's a blind typing tutor. The reason it's an interesting app is it had #gamification features when there wasn't even such a word invented. #retro #tutor #blindtyping #qwerty #gaming #msdos

Worms 1995 from "Team 17" (#Overcooked publisher). I always liked multiplayer and competition spirit in games. And I played hot seat a lot. But in this game I mostly been killed with a grenade or a rocket launcher by myself. #turnbased #retrogaming #hotseat #action #strategy
