☆ A Retrogaming Film Surprise From Disney ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

I know i'm a bit late to the party (as usual) BUT I just had to write something about "Wreck It Ralph"

I saw this brilliant film from Disney last week and I smiled from ear to ear for a solid hour and a half.

Basically it's a retro gamer dream that's oozing with classic video games characters and takes you down memory lane through the eyes of a brilliant video games arcade and a video game that you could easily mistake for being a genuine retro arcade game.

☆ Retrogaming Coin Guzzlers - My Top Ten Arcade Coin Guzzlers ☆ #Retrogaming #Arcade #GamersUnite

Retrogaming Arcade Cabinets are still my favourite form of video games entertainment that was borne from the fact that I would spend many a pound in the local arcades around my area as a youngster.

Armed with my £5 worth of pocket money I would often visit the local video (VHS) rental store and spunk it all on an arcade gaming session.

Five pound was 30 credits back then (50p for 3 credits) and that £5 was the best fiver that I spent, it brought me joy untold as I tried in vain to beat the latest arcade game.

☆ Retrogaming Controllers That Make ALL the Difference ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Retrogaming is best enjoyed using your favourite controller.

Whether that be a Joystick, Joypad or even a Gaming Mouse.

Over the years I have found that I can only play some games properly with one particular type of controller and if it isn't that controller I turn into a cack-handed jibbering idiot!

☆ My Retrogaming Video Games Bucket List ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Retrogaming for me only occurs on carefully planned days of the week. It means that sometimes I will only get a one or two hour slot to play with and in that time I need to utilise my time efficiently as i may only get one chance a week to play computer games.

 

With this in mind I have created a Retrogaming Computer Games Bucket List.

 

This list is intended to highlight 2 must play games on the various consoles or computers that I am yet to play.

 

My intention is to work my way through this list before I kick the bucket!!
