☆ Video Game Endings That You Will Never Forget ☆ #retrogaming #GamersUnite

I've always been a sucker for a great video game ending and always hungered to see those animated sequences at the end of a game.

There were always those times when you get to the end of the game and all you get is a "CONGRATULATIONS!!"

WHAT A LET DOWN.....

But then there are those endings that stay with you forever.....

☆ Have YOU Ever Met Any Football Manager Regen Players? ☆ #GamersUnite @tonyjameson @ShortList @SIPublishing

A couple of things got me excited today in the dreary London rain....

I picked up my usual copy of Shortlist on a Thursday and as I always do I searched for some good video games stories or features to inspire me for the Games Freezer blog.....

Not much was in this weeks issue but then I stumbled across this cool sounding Comedy Tour.....

"FOOTBALL MANAGER RUINED MY LIFE"

Anyone who's obsessed over and played FM to death can at least in part empathise with that statement......

FM is the crack cocaine of video games and it's a tough addiction to shake!

☆ What Was The First Ever Football (Soccer) Video Game YOU Played? ☆ @dndn1011 @SuperRockGames #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Football games have formed a massive part of my video games playing for the last 30 years.

When I was younger I was constantly in search of the perfect football game. 

I always wanted to recreate the excitement of the playground game on my computer or console.

Once I had a football game in my possession it would be the only game I played for months on end.

Italia 90 - Megadrive

"He's stuck the Jelly in the top corner!!"

MegaBites (@MegaBitesBlog) tweeted at 10:12 PM on Tue, Apr 30, 2013: One final point on Italia '90. Was I the only one to think the player's left leg was bleeding when he scored?

The Games Freezer Team used call this game "Jelly Football" due to the sound of the ball when it was kicked! :)
