I complete me.
I am an aged man, of 40 years, and when I was a kid I had a Dragon 32, an Amstrad 464, a PC and then eventually my first console, the PS1, then PS2, Xbox, 360, PS3, Wii, PS4, and then Wii U.

So like: BEST GAMES FOR ME FROM THOSE ONES THAT MADE ME HAPPY TO PLAY:

Dragon 32:

Donkey Kong.

You could have different colours by loading a different version of the game. The normal version was eyepoppingly horrible, but I loved the Monochrome version.

Donkey Kong Jr.
EVEN BETTER.

Amstrad:
Gryzor

This had fabulous graphics for the time. I had a friend who had a spectrum, and he had some great games, but this looked amazing and head and shoulders over anything he could show me, including the Spectrum version of Gryzor. Plus amazing super lasers and the perspective change was cool.

The sequel was a piece of poo poo, but it was so satisfying doing a flying kick to knock a dude off a motorcycle

I never understood how they used the whole screen to play the game. Everything else had borders. It seemed like witchcraft. I spent hours playing this.

P.C.
We had a fairly ok PC for the time, but the first game I remember devoting hours to and replaying extensively was the original Prince of Persia. the entire system of swordfighting was lovely, and I spent ages running as fast as I could through the bitey steel doors.

Cannon Fodder was incredibly funny to me, and running through the levels while blaring ministry in my headphones was truly gaming's ambrosia. The fallen shall never be forgotten.

PSX
Many many hours playing Tekken. I'm poo poo at it, as I have been for years, but I still love trying to wrap people into a pretzel with King.
Final Fantasy VII was my first exposure to proper RPGs and I spent about two solid months trying to beat it while dealing with a broken foot.

loving hell, I might come back to this.
