Super Mario revealed as the all-time favourite nostalgic game

Streaming service Spotify recently launched a feature where users can play a musical version of the nostalgic game 'Snake' whilst using the platform. The launch of the new feature has seen searches for 'play snake' increase by a significant 400%.

It's no secret that games made in the 80's and 90's have had a huge cultural impact across the world, with films such as The Super Mario's Bro Movie (2023) and Sonic The Hedgehog (2020) seeing a huge combined box office total of £1.6 billion.
However, fans of the nostalgic games can be extremely protective when it comes to their favourite characters. Back in 2020, the film Sonic The Hedgehog received numerous amounts of backlash with viewers labelling the CGI character as "creepy" and "upsetting".

In response to the popular on-going trend, www.meccagames.com has conducted a survey to reveal the most popular nostalgic games across the UK.

The data revealed that the UK's favourite nostalgic games are:
• Super Mario (29%)
• Sonic The Hedgehog (26%)
• Tetris (26%)
• Pacman (25%)
• Space Invaders (22%)

Whilst characters Mario and Sonic remain a firm favourite amongst Brits, surprisingly, the data revealed that only 14% of Brits voted Snake as their favourite nostalgic game.

The study also showed that games such as Spyro (7%), Legend of Zelda (7%) and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (6%) weren't very popular amongst past players.

When looking into why Brits have such a love for playing nostalgic games, gaming enthusiast James, 42, from Manchester comments:
"There's something special about playing games that you grew up with. It brings a special sense of nostalgia and simplicity that you can't get from modern day games.
I also like to play the games with my children to show them the difference between what we played when I was younger, in comparison to the games they play with now. However, I'm not sure they are enjoy the old-school graphics compared to the technology involved with the games they're currently playing!"
