I can now just sit and watch this and think of how many hours I spent playing this and SuperMarioWorld.
I even have SuperMarioWorld as my ringtone.
It is for old time's sake, I gave up console games a few years ago when I sold my PS3 as I was spending far too much time on Gran Turismo and FIFA2014!
SuperMarioKart is still going strong, on the Wii these days but oh, the memories of Chocolate Island, Rainbow Road, Yoshi, Princesse's cakes and banana peel on the road gets me as excited now as it ever did.
The kids when they were young played their games on a Commodore Amiga computer....brilliant machines which had hundreds of games. My daughter loved Xenon 2 and can still quote phrases from it. Lol. I used to like Bubble Bobble on the early Playstations.

I am very interested in this Sacha. I am developing a section just for this on my forum and spent two hours tonight writing a post on Actua Soccer!
I don't know Zenon or the Bubble game but it is irrelevant really whether I have played them or not because if I haven't, what fun to discover and learn!
So far this evening I have made posts on Actua Soccer, Everybody's Golf and Wonder Boy In Monster Land and our moderator chipped in with Atari tennis!

I have a Game Boy which belonged to one of our two- I liked playing Tetris , they had all the SuperMario stuff for it. I still use my Nintendo DS Lite- it has Brain Gym and Maths games as well as the other sort of games.We started with a Sinclair Spectrum which loaded the games up via a tape recorder and usually crashed as the game was almost loaded , then we had BBC - Templeton was a favourite. My all time favourite game has to be Paddington's Garden Game which involved marmalade sandwiches.Our local library let you borrow games just like the book service so Mr FP would copy the tapes so that the boys could still play after the loan period was up.
Have found another link for you @dinamix on Digital Spy, giving a list of well known Amiga games. My son loved playing Cannon Fodder and my daughter loved It Came from the Desert. They and their pals all grew up with these games. Nobody bothered with Microsoft in those days....they hadn't even invented Windows.
I never had an Amiga. So I won't know those games least from a playing level. Even my phone cannot cope with these old names. I typed Amiga then and it wrote Amira.
Spectrum ZX81, Commodore 64 and Vic20 are early names I remember and there is probably a webpage somewhere that will say what the first big computer game hit was?
Maybe Donkey Kong or Lemmings or something earlier.
