Don't call yourself a gamer if you haven't tried these...

"Every 90's kids can relate to this"- Now that's a catchy phrase, I am sure that you must have seen that phrase at least once...Right!?

If your answer is no, then either you must be living under a rock or you don't have a social media account, but don't worry about that because even if your answer is a yes or no it doesn't matter. "Why?" you ask, well you might wanna take a look at the title once more.

Now you don't have to be a 90's kid to know all these, because in the age where PlayStation has released PS5 and Nintendo's Gameboy might be getting forgotten as time passes.

Its fantastic when you think about how far we have come from the time when games were pixelated to its best and now we have an entire open world to explore and check out another virtual world. Here is a massive throwback to the time when arcade games were still considered "cool". Games like Pacman, Mario, Street Fighter and the list goes on for the games.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP... now this is (was) a bunch of happiness, mainly because Nintendo had all sorts of games from Mario to Sonic to Street Fighter and Action Man and many more...It gave us a feeling of owning an entire mini arcade game store and soon according to Wikipedia they had sold over 43.52 million units in total and that is quite impressive, Sadly, it was discontinued on January 31, 2010 (According to Wikipedia)

Now of course the PlayStation 1 was pretty amazing for its time but when compared to the newer versions of PlayStations that are released, it still is something, I guess... Now the PlayStation 1 had lots of amazing games, Crash Bandicoot, Digimon and a lot of racing games for the players to spend time.

Online Browser games. This was something that was trending at that time that had quite the popularity with many players with access to play the games without downloading or buying any game, just by installing a web browser and that was it, you can either play together as a multiplayer or be solo player. Even though there are a lot of new web games, for some reason they are just not the same anymore. Don't ask me why. I don't know. Check it out yourselves.

(Of course, there are a lot of browser games available on the to play and yea I know that there are some pretty amazing games out there, but today when the available PC games have some of the most amazing games. frankly speaking, I don't think browser games stand a chance).

Oh. Before you go and start telling me that this list includes Digital Games but where are the retro "Board Games"!?

Okay. Let me get to that.

First, Everyone knows about the board games don't they!? The time that you spend with your family or friends and just love it don't you until they turn into a whole new mess of arguing and ends with the statement "I was not really paying attention/ I don't really like this game anyways".

Snake and ladders. The game where everyone has a specific goal and it is not to win. Of course not. It is not to get eaten by the biggest snake of them all.

Chess. A game of victory and fights and make sure to end the match as quickly as possible else the match ends in a draw and you don't want that do you?

I know there are a lot more board games but I don't think that this list will be enough at all.

Of course, there are more than just what this list specifies for all retro games and let me be clear, this list does not have even a 5% of the amazing equipment and games that were actually present at that time.
