What does classic mean in 2017? I’ve seen some places calling PS1 video games “retro” which for me it just doesn’t make any sense!!! For me classic/retro games are from 1993 and earlier. Anything that came out from the day I was born is just… “Normal” (?) In reality I just don’t want to age xD Taking this into account, my pick is:

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse

I remember playing this game in my cousin’s Mega Drive (I think) to the point we had to turn of the console because the power transformer was too hot (Oh the old good days…). Why did I like the game so much? Well, probably because I was a kid, it was a decent platformer for that time and… GUYS IT HAD MICKEY MOUSE! Even today, when I look back, I still love all the distinct levels it had and how different they were from each other! 🙂 It’s on Steam right now, so if you are looking for a good classic game, give this one a try, it deserves it! Hope they included saving on this one, because the game is HARD!
