The richest kid in the world lived right down the block: he owned a C64 with this game and... he had his own TV. Damn brat... Damn fun game. First memory I have of any game.
NES version was awesome, the walljumping caused me to take a pair of scissors and let the couch have it. My parents were not amused.
Excitebike is a bit of a pleonasm: it's a bike, you're a kid, believe me there will be excitement!
Winona Ryder stars.
More helicopter mayhem. The amount of stuff you could blow up was incredible. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 uses a slightly modified engine.
Here's how to play Dick Tracy on the Mega Drive: get rid of all the damn enemies, and let the fun begin by taking the tommy gun and shoot every light source and break every window on screen. I had a taste for destruction as a kid, you see.
The Amiga version is stylistically one of the best games of all time, not to mention an awesome soundtrack and mouthwatering box art. I never got far though as the gameplay was brutal. (No couch was harmed while playing this masterpiece.)
One of the very few games I played in an arcade. The arcade machines were later used as the chassis for the F-22 Raptor. Not many people know this.
