Thanks for pointing out the report function, I’ll be sure to use that in future 🫡 

Hear hear @phil bottle. I do add some protection from keywords to try and stop as many as we can not even posting but it is inevitable we'll keep getting them over time. Like Philly the Great says, keeping reporting them.
 
Note, you can use a button instead of replyign to report content if needed. That sends an email straight away to all Moderators and Admins that a post has been picked up by someone that looks suspicious.
 
Thanks all GGFG ❤️🖤

Back to this topic again as we seem to be getting inundated lately 🙈🤪
 
Obviously goes without saying, take care not to click on any links from randoms until we get around to deleting them.
 
And thanks all for reporting when you find them 🖤👊

Just looking at my retro collection the last few days, it's quite brilliant when you consider how old some of it is and how well it has lasted.
 
But it got me thinking, will modern consoles last as well? Will we even be able to play half the games in 20-30 years time when they have turned off servers and you can't get the day 1 patch to make a game playable?
 
Are we just going to have a load of doorstops in a few years time?

I was born in 1990, that's no excuse! 😛
 
A lot of my gaming was gameboy / megadrive to be fair. The gameboy was the first one my parents bought me but I got the mega drive quite young as I was given it by my cousin, he was much older and I think at the age where gaming got left behind a little while he went off chasing girls and such I suspect.

Being born in 1993 I didn’t have too much time with video games in the 90’s. That being said, I did have a game boy and a Dreamcast. So I would have to say Pokemon Red/Blue for me, with a shoutout to SoulCalibur too!

So many great games, it's impossible to choose but here's a few mentions:
 
Super Mario World - SNES
Goldeneye - N64
GTA 2 - PC
Age of Empires - PC
Medal of Honour - PlayStation 
 

The original crash bandicoot was one of the games that basically cemented me being a future gamer. Was also revolutionary for its time, came out in 1996

I like the idea of a tournament 👀
 
I don’t always have the time to join the clubs sessions but a tournament could be really cool! 

The 90's you say? Metal Gear Solid. 
It was just so good back then.

I've been doing that for years, I even forget to add some of the good ones as well. 

Very tough choice because the 90's made some huge strides in very little time and the industry kept evolving and innovating massively - imagine going from Doom to Half Life in just 5 years! The gulf between a 2019 game compared to a 2024 one now is almost nothing. 
 
Metal Gear Solid is a very strong shout because it told an incredible story and had some unforgettable gameplay moments. There's also Half Life as mentioned, Resident Evil 2, FF7, Super Mario 64, GoldenEye, Age of Empires 2 and many more. 
 
I'd probably give it to MGS overall as it pushed the PS1 to the max and also exposed Nintendo's mistake in using cartridges as even some of the sound files were bigger than an entire N64 game! Games going from 2D to 3D was big in those days and Mario 64 was also a significant leap. 
 
I really miss huge innovations like that these days.

With FC 24 hopefully get a big tournament on the go could be interesting.

I played and beat Tunic on Xbox Game Pass, fun little game but a bit too hard for me so I had to tone the difficulty right down 🤣
 
I don’t care for Destiny and I already have EA Sports FC. Really excited about GhostRunner 2 but I still haven’t got around to playing the first one that was on PS Plus a while ago, maybe I push these up the backlog! 

Would be good to get a couple more on fifa from FG, otherwise the month seem's ok but I find I just add PS plus games to my library these day's and never actually play them.

Looking back we were in a state of transition, moving away from 16 bit graphics to experience our first forray into 3d. A lot of the 3d models were blockish and certainly would not hold up well today, heck it's not often you see someone make a 90s style game but people do keep going back to our 16 bit era.
 
So, are there any games you remember fondly? For me it'ss the obvious final fantasy games, but in addition to that I always remember fighting force. Spending a lot of time on streets of rage when I was younger I suppose this was the sort of game that evolved from them, walking around 3d levels beating the crap out of people.

May Monthly Games looks good!

Call of Duty: Vanguard

So yeah, some bloke built a stand in his back garden to watch the local footie team. Absolutely genius!
