Finally succumbed and bought one of these #LEGO #Nintendo Game Boy sets to build ... So, have to ask, what does everyone think of this one?(have you built one?) and what other gaming themed LEGO sets does everyone recommend I try and get. I do like the look of the new Zelda sets.❤️🤓

Who remembers gaming on a #CRT TV? ... Gaming like it's 1994 tonight, playing Mad Dog McCree on my Philips CD-i from 1991. Before the PlayStation, and Xbox we had the age of CD based, multimedia gaming consoles like this classic one, that could even play Video-CDs💿 #retrogaming

❓ Who remembers the 3DO, this one the Amiga CD32, the Philips CD-i and even the Apple Pippin then?
🌟 Before the PlayStation, or Xbox came out they sure did make some fascinating CD consoles in the 90s.
🕹️ Would love to hear what everyone's favourite games were on any of these old cd consoles.
