Welcome to Bloom Talks Nostalgia, where today we power up and drop straight into 1990—a golden moment in gaming history when arcades were buzzing, living rooms echoed with 8-bit soundtracks, and a new generation of players was hitting “Start” for the very first time.

From the addictive maze-chasing of Pac-Man still holding strong, to the globe-trotting platforming of Super Mario World, and the fast-paced action of Mega Man 3, 1990 was packed with games that didn’t just entertain—they defined a culture. Cartridges were swapped, high scores were battled over, and every level felt like uncharted territory.

So dust off those controllers, get ready for some pixel-perfect memories, and join us as we rewind to a time when gaming was simple, challenging, and endlessly fun.

Also I remember the song lyric i get wrong- lean on the 'blow a kiss, fire a gun' i sing it 'focus, fire a gun' !
