The Gaming Memories of You: The 16Bit Years
The gaming memories of Paul are fast approaching the current gen and before long they wont be distant memories, he’ll be writing about last week. The 16-bit generation is this weeks memoir and its where lines started to be drawn in the sand… Were you SNES or were you Sega? The fanboy wars of the past seem to be behind us now and we can all look back fondly at the 16-bit era. It’s just weird to think that gamers who may be reading this didn’t grow up blowing into cartridges. This was when the consoles really kicked in and these are your 16-bit memories.
I had both but only really played my snes. Snes was awesome and zombies ate my neighbours was the game to play. I’d do anything for it to be brought out on Xbox arcade. I miss that game sooooo much.
