  • Aeroplane Chess

    Aeroplane Chess
    Aeroplane Chess was one of the first games that I remember playing with my sister when we were younger. The game allows 2-4 players, each colour represents each player. I honestly don't remember how to play, but I remember the game being fun and exciting. Unknown, 20th century, aeroplane chess, board game, viewed 22 February, 2021.

  • The Princess and the Pauper

    The Princess and the Pauper
    The Princess and the Pauper was the one of my favourite games on my first console being the game boy SP. I used to play it non stop and bring it to Primary school to show off to my friends. I was a really big fan of barbie and loved having the idea of being able to play as my favourite characters. I also enjoyed games that include adventure and problem solving.

  • The Purble Place

    The Purble Place
    The Purble Place was one of the first computer games that I remember playing. I used to play all the time during recess in primary. I remember loving all the vibrant colours and the idea of creating something different every time I played the game. Oberon Media, 2007, The Purble Place, Windows 7, viewed 22 February 2021.

  • Cooking Mama

    Cooking Mama
    I always used to play Cooking Mama with all my cousins. I remember i had played the game on my very first pink glittery Nintendo DS. I enjoyed this game as it was exciting as there was a time limit with all the dishes that were made. I also liked the idea of being able to use the detachable pen in the games.

  • Flappy bird

    Flappy bird
    Flappy bird was super popular in middle school, everyone had it on their phones. I spent most of my recess and lunch competing with my friends. It was definitely a very simple concept but also had a level of difficulty that was frustrating but also lured you back into playing the game.

  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
    Recently my sister and I had bought a new Nintendo Switch and we had only bought the Mario kart game. My sister and I have not stopped playing since. We both love the visuals of the game and the fact that it is a competitive game makes our sister boding time even better because I always come first place when I play her! :) Nintendo, 2017, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo switch, viewed 22 February 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart_8
