At the time of the amiga I had the atari ST. Had loads of fun on that. I sometimes get old arcade games from xbox live arcade, had a blast on Daytona USA the other day.  |

This was posted last year - a link to a rather nifty emulator:
It's all on here:
http://thecompany.pl/game/search/S
It is a bit of a swine trying to work out the keys, but it is mostly curser keys to move, ctrl to fire, delete to close, F12 to save and the little wheel on the mouse between the keys to zero back to your desktop. |

I keep trying to sell the marketing agency I work for on getting a Street Fighter 2 cabinet for the office, but the accountants keep fighting back.
Lets do this right.

"Massive fan of the old Sierra games.
Gah, Day of the Tentacle was better than anything Sierra put out. "
Yeah, because it was about 10 years later.
Lucas Arts came on the scene way later. |

"Bet no one here had a Vic 20 with Rat Race on it... Ahhh the heady days of 3.5k RAM
My washing machine has more computing power, lol "
I have a working zx81 and a zx80 still in the original packaging.
When you programmed in 1K, your code was always tight! |

Yep had one of those too, and programmed on them
Many a Saturday afternoon spent copying page after page from C&VG. Only for the bloody code not to work because they made a typo in the print  |

chuckie egg was my favorite game and it was the same in the whole house as family played the damn game
played that on commodore before spectrum
i liked sabre wulf and a few others but getting that reverse flower was a pain in the arse
zelda on snes was good i have to admit and i have played it via 64
probably why i like tomb raider too much though the naked lara was fun to play with
mame is still good but theres plenty of emulators out there to play on other machines now and homebrew for the wii is handy on the older games |

"Golden Axe or Streets of Rage. Classics "
OMG I remember Golden Axe  - very fond memories that brings.. played that with my first love
Solo - it was Arkanoid for me. I owned that shit lol.
(I did play GORF like I had no other life on the V20 before then.. but few people know of that these days  Along with Rat Race and Omnega Race, and a few others.. before we went all high market and did Scott Adams adventures on the C64. Great stuff!!!) |

A VIC 20 owner here and yes I had rat race, but persuaded my parents that a C64 would help with my computer studies O level much more than the VIC.
Before that though I had a Mattel Intellivison and the favourite games were Astrosmash (as worn on a shirt by Sheldon in Big Bang Theory) and Dungeons & Dragons. |

Tilt on c64. Cannon fodder, sensible soccer, think they were on c64 too, or the Amiga. Why don't they do things like that anymore... I actually had sensible soccer on the 360. Brought back soo many memories..
Still can't beat super Mario bros 3 on the nes.. |

Showing my age here ..... In the days of the ZX Spectrum ,,,, Daley Thompsons Decathlon .
We used to get through a joystick every time we played it . We'd spend hours playing it ,and it would always end up in a row as we were both very competitive.
No , not Daley and me . Mrs Luv , it was back in our 'courting' days ! |

I have zelda & super star wars downloaded onto the wii.
And spent many an after pub hour with my brother playing super mario kart, mostly in battle mode.
For the spectrum though, you have to go a long way to beat manic miner and jet set willy. Brilliant but bloody annoying! |

There are quite a few old school games now available to play on-line as (very) faithful reproductions Flash or HTML5 versions.
Try googling 'Golden Axe Online' and waste your Saturday morning! |

Only thing ruined by sensible world of soccer on 360 was losing the real names. I used to play it for hours on my Amiga I remember the updated version being released and I couldn't afford it then by chance i found it it cash converters when they sold floppy disks 10p each.
The game I remembered wanting for years and years was the rocky horror show on the amstrad cpc 464, bloody hard that was! |

I enjoyed and hated this games. Think the treasure island dizzy was the hardest on.
Reading back through the this forum you can tell the console they had by the list of games.
I (jiggle) was of the master system generation, spent hours playing on it. Remember getting a game called 'psychic fox' nearly got to the end, but was told by parents it was time for bed. I didn't want to turn off the machine because I would have to start from the start again. So I paused it. Woke up the following morning to carry on, and the bloody av adapter burnt out.. I was gutted.

"Love old school gaming.
It was all about the gameplay! "
I'd say supermario 64 was the finest 3d game almost ever..while others wanted play less childish games like tombraider etc..none of them matched the gameplay and technical excellence.
If half of nintendos greatest games were on other platforms people would know they do make the greatest games..despite looking like a childrens games developer..
I personally cant be arsed with much of the online games today..aka deathmatches...die/respawn carry on...
games should be like movies,books..storytelling is whats died..and no matter how great the fancy graphics are these days, most games will be forgotten..especially as most are really just a version 1.2,2.4, etc of the same game, and I wouldnt even consider them as sequels. |

"Loved Double Dragon and Shinobi on the old Sega Master system. "
Double Dragon! That game was awesome
No wonder the arcade owner used to rub his hands his hands together whenever I appeared weighed down with old 10p pieces.
With all the dosh I chucked in that,chase HQ,outrun,final fight,enduro racer,afterburner etc etc.....
probably paid his mortgage off....  |

with mario kart on snes that was addictive enough so friend i battle near on all day on the thing
im still just as bad now as got the nintendo ds with the mario kart and 4 ds's, 1 spare had total of 8 players battling it out against each other
the worst part is some girls can be nasty on that game and there a good shot at that
now i liked saga rally as only one that did slide around the track before need for speed did |

snes version was apparently the hardest..it did suffer lots n lots of slow down...but on the emulator its well managed.
type in emulators to google..its easy to also get roms..mail me if any difficulty
as I say if its on ur phone its easy but I prefer using a joypad on my laptop |

I had an american snes lol..I really hated the cut versions of games like contra!..replace the guys with robots ffs....but...that was nintendo uk..
I later got an american n64(a year before it came out here)
Oh and best driving game?- world driver championship..
it wasnt gran turismo or ridge racer but it was an indeed amazing racing game.
*nothing really touched mariokart 64..
who remembers the yoshi track with the short cut..I shaved time on many a ghost race! |
