Games sure have come a long way...

If anyone remembers the developer Level 9 you will recall great text based games such as Red Moon. Some had basic pictures but no moving images. You basically typed in commands and tried to fix things whilst walking around a mythical land. Sounds crap, but I remember how it allowed your mind to picture these places which sometimes immersed you deeper than normal games.

Going on from there…Ghosts n goblins, Commando, Uridium, Spy hunter, Chuckie Egg, Elite, Killer gorilla, castle quest, Knight Lore and Gauntlet

Happy days :)
 
Oh I remember getting this and thinking it was the most bad ass thing I'd ever seen.

That was (I believe) the first cartridge to feature NV memory, so you could save your progress. It also required a lot of blowing to fix the bugs.
