πŸ“–πŸ“š Mean Machines Magazines - All The Video Games Reviews - Issue 0-24 "The Video Games Guide You Didn't Realise That You Wanted" πŸ“–πŸ“š @JazRignall @RetroGamerDaz @MaximumPowerUp #MeanMachines #Retrogaming

Well, I've gone and done something with my Mean Machines Magazine collection that I've always wanted to do but have never got round to doing until now.

For some reason, I wanted to catalogue all the reviews from Issue 0 to 24 so that if I ever need to refer to a physical edition of Mean Machines then I know exactly what issue I need to look at.

Yes it's nerdy and yes it is a bit silly but I think that it's something that you probably didn't realise you need but you do now!

When I chart back my journey through video games over the years and I think back to my childhood years of playing video games a pivotal moment in video games always took place at a mates house. 


From my first moments of seeing a Spectrum to the point where I realised I needed a PC these moments were all borne from a visit to a friend’s house who had the latest console or the coolest game of the time.


So let’s get into my own personal time machine and head on back to those key moments from when I was growing up and discovering video games for the first time.

I was recently flicking through a copy of Mean Machines SEGA and came across a Rumbelows advert for the SEGA Master System 2 which inspired me to doodle a picture of a Mark I SEGA Master System and some classic SMS box art.

When you begin to dig into the SEGA console timeline you realise that the amount of consoles and add ons was an absolute mess! 

You have to give it to SEGA though, they went out with a massive bang of consoles and add ons. 

In order to try and make sense of it all I decided to write it all down and then create an illustarted timeline to show you all.

So here it is, hopefully you all enjoy!

☆ What is Arcade Perfect? ☆

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On
Growing up in the 80’s and the 90’s, Video Games always strived to hit the highest accolade in gaming at the time. That accolade was the notion of being ‘Arcade Perfect’.



It was a lofty ambition for an 8 Bit console or Computer and an achievable stretch for the 16 Bit consoles of the early 90’s.



It’s the term that I would hope for in any video games review of the time and turned a maybe buy game into must have game.



The term has fallen away over the years as the console and computer powerhouses of the last couple of generations have exceeded the Arcade games arena in most cases.



Thinking about this term I began to let my mind wander to those halcyon days of Arcade Perfection and started to compile myself a list of the games from that era that reached that Arcade Perfect Accolade.

☆ If Only I Had The Room ...... ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

I often think, if only we had the room........

If only we had the room to buy all the consoles and computers we have owned over the years and maybe some of the ones we didn't own!

So that got me thinking, would I be able to remember the machines I had bought?

If only I had the room and the plug sockets to buy them all again!

☆ An Ode To The SNES ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

SNES

Before my first SNES in 1991 I was brought into the world of video games from owning my trusty and often amazing Atari 800 XE/XL. The thing I loved about the 800 XE/XL was the fact that it had a cartridge slot! 

To me at that point in time the cartridge slot was the most amazing invention, it meant INSTANT GAMES!
