The Commodore 64 was massive over here but the homegrown ZX Spectrum 48k was arguably more popular and that was my first home games machine. I'd have to put that in.<br /><br />As space is at a premium I'd definitely go for some handheld devices. First up would be a Game & Watch. It would be between the classic Donkey Kong or Mario Bros. It's a tough choice but I'd probably have to go with Mario Bros. Or if there's enough space I'd chuck both in there.<br /><br />The other handheld that would have to go in there would be the legend that is the Game Boy. It's just such a classic design. Some games I would put in with it would include Tetris, Robocop, WWF Superstars and Super Mario Land.<br /><br />You can't have retro gaming without a classic joystick either so I would throw in a Competition Pro and a Quickshot II Turbo. <br /><br />And the best way to stay in touch with retro gaming news back in the 80s, before the advent of the internet, was through magazines. So why not add in a few back issues of the best computer game magazines which in my opinion were Your Sinclair, Computer + Video Games and Zzap 64!Retromashhttp://retromash.comnoreply@blogger.com
