Warning: Another nostalgic post coming up!
Step back in time two decades when the Iron Curtain teetered on the brink of collapse and the fall of communist USSR signalled a new dawn for Russia. Elsewhere, a coalition of 34 nations lay poised to strike Iraq in response to its invasion of neighbouring oil state Kuwait. Across the pond Nirvana struck a surprise hit single with Smells Like Teen Spirit, whilst in the UK legendary rock group Queen were riding high in the charts with hits like Innuendo and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Nineteen-ninety-one was a memorable year for so many different reasons, not least the birth of a modern day pixelated hero - Sonic the Hedgehog. I must have spent hundreds of hours helping Sonic battle the evil Dr Robotnik, preventing the egg-shaped villain from using Chaos Emeralds to take over the world. It was quite a big deal back then.
So I downloaded the Gens emulator and I'm reacquainting myself with games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Road Rash, Paperboy and Gauntlet. The ROMs (game files) are very easy to locate using Google.
That's me occupied until this time next week!

It's a small world.
