Don’t ask me what ‘sweat’ means in the context of a teenage gamer

LOL! A sweat is a "try hard", someone who basically sweats every time they play computer games because they take it so seriously. Think of that South Park episode where the gang try to usurp the ultimate PC gamer... plenty of sweats there haha!

Space Harrier was one of the arcade games I had that was converted down to the Game Gear... what a beauty that was! Loads of rage inducing moments there!

Fifa do an inbuilt type of career but it’s not the same. I’m sure there is a business opportunity there somewhere.

Well, if they do that now then make sure you get your cut!

The Nintendo Wii was next up. My first Nintendo experience.

No way was this your first Nintendo experience! Damn, you missed out on the NES, SNES (what I had) and then the N64, with such iconic games like Mario, Super Mario Kart ( the proper original version on the SNES) and Goldeneye!

Dungeon Master reminds me of the similar "educational" games we used to play in school during the 90s where you had to type responses in the game when they asked a question, then complete tasks. I didn't quite get into RPG games as much though, didn't have the patience for them and just needed to get straight in to the action sometimes.

You could be having the game of your life and then 20 minutes in, you make one little mistake and it’s back to the beginning you go kidd!

That would result in the controller, console and game getting launched out of the window in a blind rage hahaha! That sounds SO infuriating but I guess if you ever complete it, the satisfaction must go through the roof!

He looked confused and said that the player I was talking about had never played for that team!

Lol, now THAT'S the sweat talking 😃 Now we know why we've not seen you as much these days as you've been sucked 20 years back in time to the glory gaming days... rather like me with Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Burnout... they don't make them like they used to hey...

Epic piece of gaming history here mate, top bloggin'!
