I’d completed monkey island so many times but yet it was always played. Monkey island 2 not so much since there were 12 game disks needing changed every 2 minutes |

Our first machine to my memory was the atari which one I do not remember maybe the 2600
Playing dig dug and pitfall and a cowboy game where they shot square bullets.. Then we had the zx spectrum 48 where my dad had bags and bags of copy games on old yellow boots cassettes... Then i got my first machine which was the classic c64 still remember being so excited about getting outrun for it after playing it almost every day on arcade in spain...had this for years until upgrading to the amiga a500 then to Sega master system, megadrive then ps1,2, 3 then 4..but now miss the older games yet they seem so damn hard to play now |

"Used to spend hours on a wet winters day playing Chucky Egg, Donkey kong or Asteroids "
Chucky Egg!
Played that soo much and got so far.
Don't think I'd have the patience to play through all the levels twice to get 2 ducks out now.

My kinda thread!
I'm a retro gaming collector lol. Currently have approx 30 boxed consoles with the oldest one being a Binatone TV Master MK4. Think that's around 1980?? Off top of my head! Love playing the old stuff |

Operation Wolf on Speccy 128k with light gun. Loading games and calibrating and sometimes on rare occasions you needed to enter pin from instruction manual or box too right? You really had to graft for your fun back then. Still, 9.99-14.99 for your A list game and 2.99 for a budget game in those days |

I still have a ZX81 and 48K spectrum set up in the living room. The former is believed to be the world's oldest working example. Both have modern SD card adaptors.
Not set up but I have a Commodore 64 with cassette and disc drive, an Atari ST and Mac Color Classic |

Apart from c64 (with the pi inside) the only original things I have is operation wolf, outrun and ghostbusters on the original releases and not the sell thru ones... Outrun has the arcade music on a 2nd cassette |

Cool was always interested in that but the cost of 3min film and getting it developed put me off.. My friend had a few cameras but I think he got rid of them.. But loads of 8mm and 16mm Projectors |

Mr wimpy on the c64 and cannon fodder on the Amiga
Also kids will never understand the pain of playing a game and dying right at the end and having to start right at the beginning as had no save feature! |

"ZX spunktrum 48k
Daley Thompson’s decathlon. Perfect training for the years of power wanking to come as a teenager
That game was absolutely brutal on the old Kempston Joystick  "
I think I killed two Kempston Competition Pro joysticks with that game.
I don't dare play it with my one remaining Quickshot. |

How many are aware that both Crash and ZZAP64 magazines have relaunched this year? They cover both retro games for the Spectrum and 64 respectively and the current releases. Available as print mag or pdf every two months. |
