Battletoad
1994
I had already played a few platformers before D. Headdy in the early 90s, both on NES and Megadrive.
You could say I was a connoisseur of the genre. This was without a doubt a must play.
Colourful, dynamic, action packed... I really liked it.

I’m a gaming bug. Suffice to say, this game ticked all the boxes.
1991
A great platformer. Great music, graphics and gameplay.
And yet, I didn't care much for it.

A solid candidate to my favourite Genesis/Megadrive game.
Great artwork, atemporal level design. Terrific soundtrack. Very attractive indeed!

Where it all started.
I was 4 years old, the era was the late 80s. and in one day I discovered my love for videogames and dinosaurs.

Thrilling game full of jumps, hoops, taunts. Back then I used to think the Megadrive port was really cool, but of course preferred the arcade any day of the week.
I don't even like golf but 6 year old me love those early 90s friday evenings at aunty Gema's , playing NES and eating cheesecake.
What can I say, I was always terrible at this game. But it still was one of if not the most iconic game of my boy years.
Tight controls, great character design, great level design, great music. 30 years on, hasn't gotten old.
I on the other hand....

This game made me forget about Street Fighter
1988
The first home system videogame I have a memory of playing. Aunty Gema used to babysit me a lot in the late 80s and early 90s.
She had a NES and this was her favourite game and the first she ever showed me.

As a console-less 80s baby my experience with 8 and 16bit era console games was limited to whatever was available at the console havens.
My parents weren't poor. They were part of the up and coming Spanish middle-class of the early Democracy years. They were just a little bit tight fisted when it came to toys. They hardly ever bought us any. They weren't even anti-videogames. They just didn't want to splash the dosh.
We were very well fed tho, had a warm home and even a nanny. Our nanny had a nephew and sometimes we'd do a sleepover at his.
He was a little bit older and had a Megadrive. I really liked senpai Abel. Very cool guy. This game was in his mega drive collection. Around this time we were all deep in the Ninja Turtle's craze and this game definitely had that vibe. I loved this game so much but it was too hard for me to beat. Luckily I had senpai Abel to get me through the tougher areas, not without breaking a sweat.
I hyped him so much haha. Oh this game was also the first 16 bit game console game I ever played and (much later) beat.
The year was 1992 I think.
