So, since I also did a lot of searching for “best SNES games” or “most underrated SNES games” or “SNES games that are still worth playing today” or “hidden gem SNES games” once I was done googling the same “how to hack a sega mini” queries that started directing more & more people to my blahg quite consistently, I figured I should put together some console specific lists too… because SEO, innit? And most of those visits were coming from Google’rs. On top of that, I’ve been noticing that my most visited website pages, month after month, were my blog posts about retro video gaming (even though I am very clearly a ‘ not a music blog, not not a music blog’). I guess that’s why they say hindsight is 20/20. And once one goes down that online retro video gaming rabbit hole, one eventually realizes that one could have been playing any old retro video game right on one’s old iMac the whole time.

This was heavily influenced by me ordering a Sega Mini to hook up to the tv I won at a Super Bowl party right before the world went on a never-ending lockdown quarantine, but the thing that really kicked the new hobby up a notch was realizing that that Sega Mini could be hacked to add any old retro video game from any old retro video game console.

As I mentioned in my other top/fave retro video games lists, 2020 was the year I got back into playing retro video games from my youth.
