One gamer has shared a discovery they made while cleaning out their grandpa's house, rediscovering an impressive collection of classic games. The gaming industry has released many consoles and games over the years, with several becoming classics. Companies like Sega and Nintendo made history with classic titles which have become the cornerstones of what gaming is today.
As gamers get older their childhood belongings get put away, and over time they can get lost. When players move out, make big sales, or clean up, it's not uncommon for these items to show up when least expected. They can be old comics, toys, or some classic Pokemon cards that can be worth a lot today.
Reddit user Kyrosnick made a nostalgic discovery while cleaning out their grandpa's house, finding a box of their childhood games. The box features a collection of NES games with Cobra Triangle, Robocop, Captain Skyhawk, Bad Dudes, Jaws, and Dragon Spirit. The list continues with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blaster Master, Metal Storm, Werewolf, and Anticipation. One of the prominent names in the player's collection is Adventures of Lolo, a game developed by HAL Laboratory, the same studio as Pokemon Snap, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Another curious name is Yo! Noid, a Super Mario Bros.-style adaptation of the adventures of Noid, the mascot created by Domino's in the 1980s.
Kyrosnick's game collection goes beyond NES games and features a comprehensive list of Sega games. Some names that will jump out at veteran gamers are Ecco the Dolphin, Road Rash, Golden Axe 2, Toe Jam and Earl, Super Street Fighter 2, and Streets of Rage, one of the pioneers of the beat 'em up genre. They revealed that their Sega games also include the sequel Streets of Rage 2, Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2, and the first three Sonic the Hedgehog games, some of the best games in the Sonic series. The complete list of Kyrosnick's collection includes even more titles, these being:
- F-22 Interceptor
- Ranger X
- Super Thunder Blade
- NFL Football 94
- NBA Jam
- World Series Baseball
- X-Men
- Jurassic Park
- Sonic Pinball
- Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition
- NHLPA Hockey '93
- T2: The Arcade Game
- Fatal Fury
- Toe Jam & Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron

For gamers who want to relive their childhood memories authentically, some websites and stores specialize in selling old games and consoles. But for gamers who prefer a more modern solution, some classic Sega games can be found on Steam. Nintendo fans can turn to Nintendo Switch Online, an online subscription service that regularly makes classic games and some more obscure games available to Switch owners.
