I edited this like 5 times, sticking with this. Donkey Kong being the first game I ever played, then learned the basics with Super Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Double Dragon. Sonic was an experience, Robotron and Kaboom! I was legendary at as a kid.

Love Housemarque, Super Stardust Ultra on PS4 also has a couple of nice PSVR modes. Resogun and Nex Machina are to Defender and Robotron as Super Stardust is to Asteroids. Some of my favourite games.

I plugged in my game controller a couple of days ago (to play Robotron 2084), so I've been doing a tiny bit of two-stick gaming. This looks neat!

Wie das Spiel heißt, weiß ich nicht mehr.Ein sehr rudimentäres Jump'n'Run auf dem KC 85/4 - ein Computer aus dem Robotron-Werk der ehem. DDR. Das Spiel wurde von Kassette geladen. Muss Ende der 80er gewesen sein.

You have some absolute classics in there. I played Zork 1 and 2 (on CP/M!) when they were released. I was lucky enough to get an Atari 5200 as a kid and had MANY hours of fun playing Pac Man, Space Dungeon, Robotron, and Star Raiders.
Ultimately, I spent more time on BBSes than playing games.
