Battletoad
1992
To this day I have not watched Alien 3. It's the only Alien Movie I haven't seen.
I remember this game to be fantastic. Spooky, great graphics , decent controls.

As a fan of Sapkowski, Zelda-style games , the medieval fantasy genre and Slavic folklore I have to say this game saved me during the first lock down.
I still need to replay it a few times, do side quests , different endings , DLC etc but even as it is, already a legend in my book.

In my personal chronology, Power Rangers The Movie marks the border between my childhood and puberty.
This game was fun, but it wasn't great. I knew this even though I was its exact target demographic and was very cloud eyed about anything PR.

Great capture of the feel of the film. Spooky, grim, very hard for 7 year old me, thankfully I had a sempai to help me on the hard areas.
I played Batman Returns before I watched Batman Returns. Zero Regrets,

1993
I remember not being in love with this game. A dino nerd as I was in the early 90s, JP was probably my favourite movie and I awaited this game eagerly.
I can't sat I was full on disappointed but it failed to meet my expectations. TBH I don't know what I was expecting.

Disney woke up for a few years to make half a dozen great films and as many great 16 bit games.
Aladdin was arguably the best in both medium.

1994
Another great game for another great film. It was my cousin's favourite game for his Megadrive.
1983
Another classic from Aunty Gema's NES. I also played this game at an arcade cabinet in a pintxos bar my parents used to frequent in the late 80s.
Definitely one of the first games I ever played and for sure the first ever sports game. Really fond memories. I recently replayed it at a retro arcade salon-pub and must say this game is still very playable and lots of fun.

1995
First Football and Last Megadrive Game I ever played.
1992
Funky platformer I used to play at my friend Abel's in his Megadrive in the early 90s. God bless Abel.
This game had an ecologist theme and was not super easy but kind enough 7 year old me could beat it in 1992 without help from senpai.

Exploration, great music, interesting game play. A bit tough to crack but luckily I had a senpai to help me through the tough areas.
Another of these ecologist themed games from those boyhood years of ours.

Odd game with odd gameplay, odd premise, cool music, cool graphics, one of the early attempts to bring the language of film into gaming.
A Zombie spoof film turned into an action game for the ages.

Absolutely loved this game. The arcade version was my first ever beat em up, which I played at one of my dad's hometown bars during the summer holidays.
Graphics, music, ambient. Rad lil game.
I told senpai Abel so much about it he bought it for his Megadrive so we could play together. Console version wasn't as polished, but still had the aliens the guns and the trash cans.

1989
Another classic from Auntie Gema collection. First game I ever beat all by my self. Lil 6 year old me in 1991.
My parents had a bff couple with two sons and a Nintendo in the early 90s. The older brother and I clicked instantly and I spent many a sleepover at his house playing NES.
He had this double whammy cartridge and although I had played Mario 3 at my aunty's, I had never played the OG Mario bros until I became friends with Jokin, circa 1993.
Mario was pretty good, but Duck Hunt? Best thing since bread and chocolate.
