Happy Video Games Day everyone!! Whether you're a fan of Nintendo, PlayStation, X-Box, Sega, mobile gaming or even retro classics like Atari or the Commodore, today is the day to shut those curtains tight, stock up on snacks and game the day away!
In celebration I'm going to list the favourite gaming moments I've had throughout my life and would love to hear some of your own!
This is where it all started, my first ever video game on the NES! A truly iconic game that has stood the test of time, I'll never forget discovering the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time. Mario is still going strong too, every one of his games is almost guaranteed to be an exciting play!
The very first Pokemon game on the Game Boy! Everyone had their own favourite starter (mine was Squirtle) and who can forget catching their very first Pikachu!? There were 151 to catch in this first game (did anyone manage to get a Mew?) which seems like a tiny amount compared to the 800+ there are now!
