10 Things 90s Gamers Will Remember…
As 80s kids, we spent much of our childhoods living through the weird and wonderful time that was the 90s. This was a strange, mysterious and generally colourful place where you could be wowed by even the simplest things like analogue controllers, 3D gaming and even split screen gaming!
Like most teenagers in the land then and now, gaming was a huge part of our social and anti-social lives. It passed the time during school holidays and weekends, it brought friends together aaaaand probably caused the odd sibling argument over who was hogging it the most. We've all been there.
Doing what we like to do best, we've been looking back on these good old days (are we really that old already?!) and thinking up some of our biggest memories from these pixel-tastic times. Check out some of our top retro gaming memories!

1. When you console was one of the only things you could play music with...
Yep we've been there. When we first had a PS1 we were still rocking our old tape player. This might just be us being behind the times but for a lot of us, the trusty console was the newest and best thing ever and we used it for as much as we sure could.
Are Consoles Really Getting More Expensive? Then Vs Now
Hello gamers!
In a world these days full of RAMs, GIGs and High Definition dodaas, we often find ourselves looking at some of the very latest technology and thinking....wow it's amazing but also sooo expensive! This got us thinking, were consoles always so much? How would the prices back in the 70s, 80s & 90s compare to what we're paying now?
Well! To find out just that, we thought we would put together a little comparison, translating the classic price tags into modern day values so we can see just how much we were (okay okay...our parents) were pay for some of our all-time favourite consoles. Take a look...

Power Up with our selection of official Nintendo gifts and accessories!
As a huge computer game fan it is my absolute pleasure to be able to show you the awesome range of Nintendo Gifts currently on offer at TruffleShuffle.com!
For those of you that like to flash your cash in style we've got a selection of Nintendo Wallets that will be right up your street! Mario has always been a fan of golden coins and these wallets are the perfect place to store yours.
Also available are these larger hinge wallets featuring the super cute but hapless baddy Koopa Trooper. He may look like butter wouldn't melt but he's more than capable of guarding your precious cash!
And this classic design featuring Mario surrounded by coins and powers up is also available as a hinge wallet.
Is this a little unNESessary?
If youâre still pining for the days of Duck Hunt and Super Mario 3, take heart, because this Nintendo Controller Coffee Table has just what your den needs.
The perfect piece of furniture for any retro gamer is this awesome Nintendo Controller Coffee Table. The brainchild of designer Charles Lushear, what makes this table all the more desirable is not only its looks, it is also fully functional, letting you enjoy saving the Princess from the nefarious grip of Bowser for the umpteenth time, while sipping on your morning cuppa.
Constructed using premium maple, mahogany and walnut, this table will cost you a bit more than one shiny gold coin ($3,500 to be exact!) but is the perfect example of old skool Nintendo cool.
Retro gaming has never looked so cool!
Weâve just found out about an amazing exhibition thatâs happening in far away Los Angeles. âSuper I Am 8 Bitâ is a group art show where over 100 artists re-imagine their 80's gaming fantasies, delusions and secret desires via all sorts of media - painting, sculpture, plush, and even some more interactive experimentation. Get ready to see some classic computer game characters as you've never seen them before!
Check out this awesome flyer for the event, which features some of my favourite characters like Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic and Mega Man all leaping out into action from underneath Princess Peachâs skirt!
This short video shows one of the past events, and is a glimpse of the kind of goodies that you might expect to see at the new 2011 version. Keep your eyes peeled for a DJ using a GameBoy as a soundsystem!
For more information visit http://iam8bit.com/. It all sounds right up my street, itâs just a shame itâs so far away! Hereâs hoping that the exhibition can find itâs way to the UK at some point soon, don't keep a Nintendo fan boy waitingâ¦
