With the release of the newest addition in the series, it got me thinking...

MK II was the daddy for me.

More characters (and they were awesome!), better replay value and I preferred it to later releases (although 3 & trilogy were tops as well).

So it's worth getting then? Looks amazing.

Video shops always used to have a weird but delightful smell.

Great days. Always fun when you'd find a arcade machine that was a new fighting game etc.

Which is it and why?

Travel WM buses were my regular steed in the 90's and early 2000's, can still remember the old style ones with brown floors covered in old chewing gum, horrible Orange fabric on the seats and places for people to store their shopping at the front of the bus. Just as I was finishing college they upg...

Greatest era of cartoons ever! I had all the toys, too.

Mask, Centurions & Visionaries are so overlooked its tragic.

just got a link to loads of old 70's, 80's & 90's Argos catalogues, well worth a look through if your bored! I wish brand new SNES was still only £65 or how about a new Gameboy for £35 :D http://retromash.com/argos/ or http://issuu.com/search?q=ARGOS Mate this is a great article. Only just browsed ...

Even better! I remember a later foot game :) the one where the players sort of slid up and down and you had little control knobs we all had little control knobs back then :lol: :lol: I know the one as my brother had it, looked into getting one but they go for 50 quid!! Used to make a right racket h...

1980-1990 The time of the arcade. Walking into an arcade in the 80s, the sight the sound the smell. Rows of cabs of Double Dragon, Gauntlet, Paperboy, Space Harrier, Outrun; most with attracts calling out to you to play them. It was the time of the high-score hero, with crowds gathering round to wa...

'89-'05.

Era-wise, the 90's. By far, too.
