Pamela and I love to live stream but what else? Do we like playing video games? Who us? Heck yes we do! Grew up on them actually..
So I asked Originalpamelavoorhees what her favorite games ever are and here's what she said:
Sonic The Hedgehog on Mastersystem
- she loved playing this with her Nephews when she was younger and used to try to get the hidden Gems! Sonic games were so fast and addictive!
The original Super Mario Bros
games - she grew up in the 80s like me and this game series was hot back then and has evolved over time but we were lucky to experience it all! Super simple but very difficult as you got to the later 8th Worlds. Super Mario Bros 2 was so different from the rest. Used to love the digging parts looking for keys and also trying to fight Birdo, who used to spit out the eggs that you had to land on and then throw back at her to complete the stage. Ma loved the fruit machine type mini game at the end of levels that allowed you to win extra lives! She was pretty sick at that when we played together. Super Mario 3 was amazing how they introduced the Map element that made it feel like you were actually navigating another World.
Resident Evil 4
- Me and Ma used to sit in our living room playing this one all the time. It's the brilliantly created survival horror mixed with great graphics and story line. We used to have a right laugh playing this. I think Capcom are releasing an updated version soon that we will definitely be buying! We are massive fans of all of the Resident Evil games actually. I remember playing the original one with my Brother in our teens. Super scary! We were hooked ever since. It's like being in one of your favorite Zombie movies! Res 2 got me and My bro g'ed up. Our mate @theclassicmichaelmyers loves the Res Evil Games too and is pretty sick at the latest ones!
I love the Pamela's choices too and also the below:
Silkworm
- Mine and my bro's first console was a Commodore 64 and this game was our favorite! One of you could be a Jeep, while the other flew the Chopper. A side scrolling shooter with bosses at the end of each level. Graphics weren't great but game play was excellent! You could pick up games for the Commodore really cheaply back in the day - something like £2.50 from our local corner shop!
Dizzy
- This was a puzzle solving game series featuring an egg with boxing gloves. You'd have to work out how to get past objects and solve problems. Also on the Commodore 64, so a long wait for the tape cassette to load to start. We loved having our own gaming console. Our Mum bought us this console thinking we could do our homework on it as it was like a PC with a keyboard. We never did much homework on it though!😂
Double Dragon 1 &2
- Played these games aged around 7 or 8 at our mates house. Just loved the way you were almost in an action movie, beating your way through gangs and bosses! Super adventurous and got you into the story.
Bad Dudes Vs Dragon Ninja
- When we were kids our Mum and Dad bought us a NES but we weren't a rich family so we had just the one game for a long time(a double game cart, Mario/Duck hunt). We begged our Dad to buy us Double Dragon so he gave in and agreed but came home with this. We loved it and thanked him for the mistake he made! You guessed it, its a side scrolling beat em up!
Turtles in Time
- Again, me and my Brother were massive fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles growing up so naturally played all of the Video Games too. This game is a straight up classic! The 16 bit Snes graphics stepped up the game from the Nintendo Entertainment System ones. ClassicMyers loves too. Sidescrolling beat em up's are the best!
Streetfighter 2
- Took the Beat em up world by storm. So many games came after this one. Love the music and how the different fighters cultures are reflected in their stages.
R-Type
- Had these games on the Snes and Megadrive. Loved flying through space fighting Organic looking Alien machines! Loved the way your weaponry upgraded as you went along.
Super Probotector
- Part of the Contra series. Absolutely awesome levels, music and the bosses were cool. Loved the part when you have to grab onto the Chopper's missiles as it ascends upwards then starts to fire each missile. Jumping from missile to missile was and still is a blast. Me and Myers completed this game together!
Command and Conquer
- Building your own army and trying to take over and defeat enemies. You had to send out a Harvester to collect Tiberium to generate the money to build your base, army facilities to train troops and factories to produce Tanks and vehicles. Strategy at it's best!
Goldeneye 64
- We had this on the Nintendo 64. Four of us would battle it out on the four way split screen. The player 1 mode and storyline was sick too. One of the greatest games. Loved the movie too! Big James Bond fans!
Final Fantasy 7
- Had this game aged around 16. Used to play Manic Street Preachers This is my truth, tell me yours Album while playing it! Loved it because of the art and the vastness of the world it was set in. Absolutely epic gaming!
Mariokart
- My family has always loved this gaming franchise. Multiplayer option is best and so addictive.
I could go on all day but these were some of our favorites growing up! We'll chat about some more in the future!
Thanks so much for reading our posts!
