- Where he plays all of our 8-bit suggestions and share some thoughts.
In this episode, LRVG shares not only one game, but three. Super Hang-on, Italia 90 and Coulums. I had never played any of these on the Mega Drive before, but they all have an Amiga port/counterpart, so I was not *totally* lost either.
My choice for LRVG to give a go at this time is Forbidden Forest (C64, 1983) The very first game I ever played on a C64! As a five year old, this game scared me to pieces... It was the most terrifying experience ever. It might be hard to believe now, judging the game with modern eyes, but this was THE game for me back then. Full playthrough on easy setting included in the video.

What's all this about?
This is a challenge, by LondonRetroVideoGames, where we play his pick of a 16-bit game and in turn suggest an 8-bit game. It's not about comparing versions, nor which is "the best" - I interpret this challenge as comparing childhood games and nostalgia, in a way "selling" our childhood favourites to eachother. What retro gaming is all about really, in my book.
