What was gaming really like in the 90s?
Before battle passes, DLC, or online lobbies — gaming was pure magic. Join me as we travel back to the golden age of video games: when Blockbuster ruled Friday nights, consoles leapt from 16-bit to 64-bit, and every new game felt like discovering a new world.
From Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis to the rise of the PlayStation and Nintendo 64, this video dives deep into what made 90s gaming so unforgettable — the arcades, the friendships, the neighborhood adventures, and the feeling of picking up a controller for the very first time.
In this video you’ll experience:
• The rise of 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit consoles
• Sega vs Nintendo — the original console wars
• Life before the internet changed gaming forever
• Blockbuster nights and game rentals
• Legendary arcades with Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, TMNT & The Simpsons
• When multiplayer meant couch co-op, not online lobbies
• The magic of discovering your first PlayStation or N64 game
Whether you grew up playing Chrono Trigger, DOOM, or Ocarina of Time, this video will bring you right back to the days of CRT TVs, tangled controllers, and just the general magic of being a 90s kid
Sit back, grab a Capri Sun, and let’s rewind to the 90s — when every game was an adventure and the world still felt full of mystery.
