Look, I'm not going to pretend that Bottle Taps Race, Hexagonos or Meatloaf Rotation are good games – let alone games I'd heard of before googling them three minutes ago – but the prospect of playing Sonic The Hedgehog (1 and 2), Golden Axe, Mortal Kombat (1 to 3) and Virtua Fighter 2 *for a frankly criminal £34.99* was too good to resist. Warning: I'm going to write some more words about why you should probably buy this mini 16-bit console, but fellow sufferers of nostalgic insanity can buy this Sega Mega Drive with two controllers and 81 games for £34.99 from Argos, saving a GARGANTUAN £25.
Oh, still here? Well… er… the Mega Drive was a thing back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (of their own volition, I might add, and not under the pernicious influence of an Italian's plumbers mind-control hat) and it was totally ok for games to be in 2D, and for us to spend ages talking about sprites and parallax scrolling. Mortal Kombat even caused a giant hubbub when Nicolas Cage (?) ripped out a ninja's heart, in a fountain of red pixels that would traumatise a generation, leading to the invention of Facebook and Brexit.

It almost looks like I re-ordered the list so number 81 would appear last, but that's genuinely a co-incidence. Maybe there is a god? I mean, who knows. One to discuss with your kids when playing ESWAT: City Under Siege, perhaps.
