In Sharka's QuickBytes, I'll be taking a bite-sized (byte-sized?) look at retro games, usually several per video when I'm covering a particular series or theme. There'll be more editing and shorter and more scripted commentary in QuickBytes than in the laid-back Nostalgic Nibbles series, and most vids won't be longer than ten minutes - perfect for a quick blast of Sharka-themed retro goodness.

In this episode, we showcase a handful of NES and Famicom games that my partner, Shao (aka RetroKitBytes on Twitter), played the most during her childhood in Poland during the late 90s through to the late 2000s. As in other parts of Eastern Europe, famiclones reigned supreme as the most affordable gaming option for the masses and were sold and advertised as mainstream official consoles were here. And in Poland, there was one famiclone to rule them all: The Pegasus.

Dedicated to my partner, supportive in all the things I do and taking a retro journey alongside me, one I'm very happy to be able to share with her.
