A friend of mine had #Nintendo Game & Watch when I was around 9, we took turns playing—first time I saw a "game", I was puzzled and amazed.
Saw and played other handhelds (Game Boy, Game Gear) and consoles (Atari, NES, SNES), but never owned one because my parents were poor, until #Sega Genesis.
I begged my parents to buy me one. Mom agreed 'cause I never asked for anything. I love Sega—it's a peak childhood memory, sparks joy and imagination.
Really cool flashback.
Interesting article from #Hackaday: https://hackaday.com/2026/04/02/sega-meganet-online-gaming-in-1990/
It looks at how #Sega tried to build an #OnlineGaming and utility network in the early 90s using the #segamegadrive.
Did anyone here ever try MegaNet?
If you're a #Shenmue fan like myself, you'll surely appreciate the look of Retro Gaiden, where we have unique Shenmue emojis and more.

It seemed kind of appropriate for Easter! 😅😅
