★ What Was Your Favourite Game & Watch ? ★ #Retrogaming # GamersUnite

I was reminded recently of some of the great handheld LCD games I would play as a 10 year old.

It would be a frequent sight to see a friend in the playground playing one of these cool games and they became one of the must have toys.

These handheld games were pre Gameboy and consisted of a moving image that would have a limited set of movements played out over an infinite loop that meant the aim for the player was to basically better the High Score.

Generally you found that the game got faster as your score got higher and you normally had around 3 lives to play with before it was GAME OVER....

I did some digging to see if I could find some of the great games that used to play.

From memory I started with the Game & Watch games released by Nintendo....

☆ Do You Remember The Days Of Tips & Cheats? ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

In the era of 8 Bit and 16 Bit Video Games Tips, Cheats and Cheat Codes were a big deal..

This was the pre internet days and this meant you would only get to hear about cheats through your buddies at school or by reading your favourite magazine such as 
Mean Machines or Super Play

Some cheats were even on Teletext or Games Master 

You'd open the magazine and hope that your video game was covered in the Tips and Cheats section of the magazine or maybe they'll have a map for the latest Zelda?

☆Games Freezer Top 10 Favourite British Made Games Of All Time☆ @CreativeIndsUK #GamersUnite #GameDev #Retrogaming

There's currently a large focus in the UK media on the Creative Industries UK Campaign…. 

It's a campaign that is looking to highlight how the UK Creative Sector brings in a massive £71billion revenue for the whole of the UK Economy and supplies 1 in 12 of the new jobs created in the UK.

As part of that creative industry the UK have always punched above their weight over the years in the Video Games industry especially when pitted against the giants of the Video Games world such as Konami etc…

This got us thinking about a Top 10 British Games List...…

★ Who Remembers The SEGA Channel Service? ★ @AverageManVsPi #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Thanks To Our Favourite Twitter Mate AverageManVsPi for reminding us of A SEGA service that we never actually got to play….. 

It was called "SEGA Channel" and it was launched in the summer of 1996 and lasted until around 1998 when it was discontinued by SEGA.

It is seen by some as the Grand Daddy of services like XBOX LIVE and PSN. At this time though the Internet was in it's infancy and SEGA Genesis video games were delivered over coaxial cables!

It was essentially an interactive cable channel offering SEGA Genesis video games, Demos and Cheat Codes on demand, which were actually distributed by the cable and satellite operators of the day.

It enabled subscribers to download and play up to 25 SEGA Genesis games for £10 a month. 

The whole idea was that it was introduced to boost the sales of video games…..

Here at Games Freezer, we never had an opportunity to play the games that were available or experience the service in action.

Did You Know? 

"At its peak, Sega Channel had over 250,000 subscribers"

Were YOU One Of The SEGA Channel Users? 

Was the service actually any good in practice? 

What games did you play on it?
