This has inspired me to try installing an Atari ST emulator again, and I have just got Dungeon Master working!

That kind of collection makes me happy in pants.
I collect for the N64 solely, but I do have a few more consoles that i've collected. Got a boxed original SNES that i'm considering flogging, but I don't know what the SNES market is like at the moment so not sure if it's a good time.
Fun Fact. This piece of music was ripped from an episode of Miami Vice.

I turned 12 in 1990. It was an Amiga for me, the best games were:
Microprose Formula 1 Grand Prix (Taking auto breaking off and having an indestructible car to take out the rest of the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim to win by default was my favourite)
Jaguar XJ220
Premier Manager 2 (Attendances dwindled and you kept getting sacked, couldn't get any other jobs and eventually had to start a new career I remember, you couldn't go on forever)
Sensible Soccer
Sensible World of Soccer (You only had a 20 year career and the close season took 10 minutes as it showed all the final tables from all the other leagues in the world)
Graham Gooch World Class Cricket
I got a PS1 and then a PS2 before giving up games. Brian Lara Cricket was my favourite PS1 game from the 1990s.

Consoles never really been my thing and I have only added a lot of them recently. Seen a few boxed SNES is shops for around £100 from memory. I guess the market will be down at the moment with fewer people having money to spend but a couple of recent eBay visits shows silly money still.

And one in Snoopers Paradise Market, might have been one of those thinking about it.

Much as I am a hoarder, I am a cheap hoarder! Would love a PET but no room or cost justification. Also an Atari 400 or 800 but they go for silly money

eBay is still ridiculous for a range of N64 stuff sadly - games I've paid £10 (inc postage) before are now 2-3 times that, which has restricted the number I pick up. Sadly there just aren't many other places to find certain consoles/games as they just don't have the market saturation.
I was 11 in 1990 and this is basically my childhood. All great games. I had a PC though as dad had one with work, my neighbour had an Amiga and I was jealous. When they got a mega drive and a SNES I basically moved in.
Remember the set wicket on graham gooch with a wide bouncer with massive inswing?
PGA tour golf was great. Lots of money changed hands in first year at uni.
Mario kart on SNES.
Micro machines
Best ps games were Brian Lara cricket and Jonah Lomu.
I liked building stuff in sim city 2000 and theme park
Also dune 2 was a precursor to command and conquer. You had to be harkonnen because they had the nukes.
Most overrated game was lemmings. A pile of crap people pretended to like.

On my Amiga.
Bomberman
Rainbow Islands
Sensible Soccer, by far the best footy game at that time.
I also remember a horizontal scrolling shoot em up where you played as a wasp against various insects. No idea what it was called though.
And James Pond of course.

Good memory! Google turned up this video and having watched it I can remember it too (but not as an all time classic). It appears to be called Apidya.
