With the spectrum well and truly shelved,i wandered into the world of 16-bit and oh what a beautiful place it was!
It was the first time i would happily lose whole days killing giant babies(zombies ate my neighbours), hunting little green men(x-com), getting fucking frustrated driving skidu's(cannon fodder), fighting fire breathing fat men(streets of rage) or playing with a blue hedgehog(duh!).
It was even good watching my dad swear at nearly every episode on lemmings on those rare occasion's I'd let him on it.
After that i got me a mega CD even though most of the games were pretty bad looking back at them(check out a game with the same name as this post!). Then followed the 32X which was a bit better for a add on, got me into linking up two mega drives and two TVs to play ultimate doom death matches.
Playing doom was great just to make the fella grunt when he walks in the acid, sounds bit gay that!
Then i had a brief romance with the dream cast,which threw up some good games to be fair! Power stone,shenmue etc.. Its just a shame that Sega couldn't do everything they promised with this machine, it never really got off the ground.
The PlayStation 1 and 2 were my next machines but we all know this part of the story....
