Sensible soccer on the C64 was brill.
All the kids at school had a speccy 48k with the rubber keys but i had the newer "improved" speccy 128k with plastic keys and a built in tape deck, Woop woop!
Kung Fu was my fave game on the speccy along with Renegade, Outrun and Chase HQ. |

"is that the same thing is the Amiga?"
Commodore Amiga was the newer upgrade from the commodore 64. Amiga had better graphics and quicker loading times on games with disks instead of a tape deck.
I never had an Amiga though i went for the Atari ST instead. |

Oh yes! Games on cassettes, seemingly endless loading times. And if the cassette botched the load, start all over from scratch.
Atic-Atak, jet set willy, frogger, manic miner, and my all time fave......choplifter. |

By the way, David Brabben is currently creating a new Elite game, Elite : Dangerous.
All we need is Half Life 3 and I'm golden for the next three years of gaming (oh and maybe a new Elder Scrolls).
Oh and for retro gaming, have a look at MAME.

After just reading another thread it reminded me of that great speccy game.....Commando.
The older kid who lived over the road from me also had Samantha fox's strip poker, spent many an hour playing that. |

Thrust and Bruce Lee were my favourite games. I always remember the crappy light pen breaking after 5 minutes and getting the speech 64 emulator cartridge to say swear words. |

I still have a ZX Spectrum. Started off with an Acorn Electron (Sphinx Adventure and Snapper, anyone?) then the Commodore 64. I was obsessed with Chuckie Egg and School Daze (I think that's what is was called). |

Haha Fortran 77 had to program the computer with cards at Uni.
First program I wrote was to sort a list of names. I chose girlfiends. My mate who was helping me suggested it would be good to have two surnames the same. I laughed and said I've had two sisters - Polish - lovely they were too |

Yep. Had one of them and a VIC-20 before that. Got the 20 when I was 8. It had been discontinued at that point (given it because my brother didn't use it) so there weren't any games available anymore. When I got bored of them I picked up the manual and started programming it. 19 years later I'm a Software Engineer programming computers for a living.

Atari ST and Commodore Amiga were better than the nes and master system for games, better graphics, but they were more expensive. I think it was the arrival of the Super Nes and the Sega Megadrive that was the final nail in the coffin for the home computers. |

Ooof, controversial
I think there are way more NES games that hold up today from a gameplay and mechanics point of view than there are on 16-bit home computers like the Amiga. |

the home computers like the amiga were great yes...but only the most complex games were really any good, when they tried to make platform games like mario or sonic... (soccer boy, zool etc etc...they paled into comparison)..only one that was particularly good was james pond robococd!
and of course u are right, snes and megadrive were the nail for the 16bit systems... streetfighter2 on the amiga was one of the biggest jokes ever made lol...next to the snes versions...oh and there was rise of the robots(amiga)..whatta great fighting game that was lol |
