Growing up in the UK as a kid during the 1970s, 80s and 90s meant that the Argos catalogue was a British kid's go-to piece of literature should you want to plan your next birthday or Christmas presents.
My first port of call was always the Video Games section which I looked at on a daily basis leading up to Christmas and Birthdays. My sister and I would play the Argos catalogue game where you would have to choose one item to buy from EVERY page and then initial it. I'd often end up having to circle and initial a duvet set that I didn't want to be followed by a Corby trouser press.
When we got to the Video Games section though the choice would be impossible to make as I was presented with all the latest video games related accessories and consoles!
My love for the Argos catalogue has carried on to this day and I still pick up a copy to circle items while playing the catalogue game.
Then something special happened recently when I stumbled across the Argos Book Of Dreams website which Argos have pulled together to make every Argos catalogue available online in a digital format! argosbookofdreams.co.uk

๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐พ My Video Game Inspired Art "Alex Kidd In Miracle World" ๐พ๐จ๐จ๐ผ️ #RetroGaming #AlexKidd #SEGAMasterSystem
For me, Alex Kidd in Miracle World was a game that defined my video games playing childhood. It was a game that everybody seemed to won as it was the pack-in game with the SEGA Master System II.
My best mate Paul had a Master System II and I had the Mark 1 version with the built-in snail game. When Paul got his sleek-looking Master System II I was in awe of its design and size along with the amazing built-in Alex Kidd game.

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.
