Yeah I got the nes classic edition. I also got the Atari version a few years ago. I still get them out every so often. I wouldn't mind seeing a ColecoVision version. I still want a play room with my arcade favorites. I visit a pizza place near me to play a Munsters pinball machine.
Retro gaming

I was really into the good old commodore 64 and amiga,in my early teens. It was great swapping games with my mates and buying the english games magazines that were 3 months out of date when they got here. This was long before gaming was mainstream and still considered nerd thing to do. The variety of games was incredible, there were shooting games, flight simulators, strategy, text adventures, racing games and dodgy arcade conversions, not like now where there only seems 3 or 4 types of game available.
Theres a console called Super X pro that apparently has the full catalogue of all the old computers and consoles on it , im tempted to buy one but dont want my memories tainted when i realise how basic and possibly crap all the old games really are.
One thing i would like about it is you can just sit down, fire up the console and play any game for 30mins then go about your business, a modern PS4 game requires alot more investment of time which i really dont have anymore.

I never was able to expierence the amiga and com 64. I started gaming in late 80's with the release of the sega genesis. I was hooked. I continued gaming until the early 2000's with the release and early demise of the sega dreamcast.
I am trying to think of more fish related games, and I always liked this one: Sega Bass Fishing. It even had a compatible rod and reel controller. Super fun game.
One of my favorite games on the Wii, when the Wii was still relevant. Still have mine lol.I never was able to expierence the amiga and com 64.

Ok, speaking of retro games and fish. Does anyone remember this game: Odell Lake?
I had this game for my old apple2, it was also on commodore 64. It was basically a fish survival game. You play as a species of fish, and when you encounter another fish, you have to decide to eat/run/ignore or things like that.

I always had the impression that consoles were bigger in American and the early home computers like commodore, spectrum and amstrasd had the market share in the UK, europe and down here in oz.
I liked the computers as you could copy the games, i had hundreds of disks and cassetes filled with all the games of the time.
Not sure if the Playstation 2 is considered a retro console yet, but another fishing related game that I loved as a child was Reel Fishing. I haven’t thought about some of these childhood fishing games in years.
I had this game as well and can't tell you the amount of hours me and my cousin spent playing it in the mid to late 90s
This was one of the wildest games I've ever played. I remember trying to get the creature to say dirty words through the controller lol. Was a hoot as a teenagerHa, I remember that game. I am a child of the 80's and my friend had Kid Chameleon. It is a good game, I always thought the cover art was kind of odd.
I love retro games. but I really don't like modern games too much. I used to play games to see developers push the envelope on what is possible with low spec hardware. However, most of today's games seem so cookie cutter. Most modern games use prebuilt game engines (unreal and unity), which makes is easy to develop games, but rather boring from a technical standpoint, because all games today use the same core rendering engine. I guess it has lost much of the "magic" for me.
I am trying to think of retro-games that are "fish" related. And the one that stands out is an old/odd game called Seaman, which was first released on the Sega Dreamcast. You play the role of care-taker of a human/fish/amphibian hybrid. It was super advanced for its time: had interesting AI, and perhaps the first home game to ever use microphone based voice commands. It is a someone creepy game as the AI that controls the fish can get a little spicy and rude. I think it once told me off with quite precision.
On the weekends, I sometimes enjoy making retro style games using old tech. None of my games are very good. But I am playing with the idea of making a fish related game at some point in the future.
