Playtimes over. The 80's ended. I grew up. You grew up.
Sad isn't it?
well get used to it, you arn't getting any younger. But don't worry you can always escape reality with these amazing games from your childhood. This list is only about games that are still fun to play now as an adult, so you won't find Fluffy wuffy's funhouse. You'll find Rage McBloodfist's roided up firing-a-gatling-gun-out-of-an-exploding-helicopter's adventure.
So unsurprisingly these will mostly be from the Sega Megadrive (Genesis) as most Nintendo games are for wimps. Wussy wimps. I'll also include Sega Cd, 32x, master system, Nes and Arcade
