Classic PC Games

8)

Check here

I've seen so many blasts from the past!

Bruce lee was the first ever platform game I played

just thought I'd share for any of you true nerds out there  

I remember some of the greats I used to play on my BBC B…Revs, Elite, Chukkie Egg

When Revs came out it was simply awesome with fantastic driver names…Gloria Slap, Max Throttle, Johnny Turbo. Does anyone remember more?

I had a BBC Master 8)   Everyone else had Amiga's, mega drives, snes with better graphics and more games.

For the BBC I had:

The Life of Repton
Arcadians
Defender
Spy hunter
Ravenskull
Chukie Egg
Paperboy
+ more that I cant remember

We sold the BBC with a dot matrix printer to some farmer in 1994 for ?100. Think we ripped him off a bit 8O

Sometimes wish I still had it!

Elite…

Still play that!

Cheers,

Drew.

I only had ZX Spectrum & Commodore 64 computers but Spyhunter and Chuckie Egg were available for them as well.
Other games that hold fond memories were Daley Thompsons Decathlon (hammering the space bar within an inch of it's life) and Mission Impossible.

OH Elite-  now there was a game . Manic miner on an amstrad cpc464 first game then harrier attack simple but annoyingly addictive . Did anyone in the world ever make it to elite ? .

Sad to say I did make it to Elite on my Speccie! Couldn't afford a Mk1 Golf in 1984!

Cheers,

Drew.

I had too many consoles and games machines I think. Joust was always a favourite though and good 'ol Gauntlet. Strangely though I've just sold all my old consoles and computers to fund the XBOX360. Only cost me a tenner after I trade dit all in. Counted 15 games consoles / old computers that I traded in with about 5 large Blue plastic boxes of games and good ol 3.5" flopy disc games.

Anyone remember New Zealand Story on the Atari, or an arcade perfect converison of operation wolf. Ah the good ol days  8O

probaly wouldent  have had time to work on it if you did Drew

New Zealand Story is a classic  8)

favorite 'newer' game was noth and south on the Amiga 500

frogger kept me entertained for months as a kid on my old Amstrad 1512

I used to have an amstrad cpc464!!!! Harrier attack was like the best game ever. Many a bomb dropped via the space bar and dam those clouds!! I had gauntlet, dizzy, five a side football, airwolf (which was impossible) from which i can remember. The good 'ol days ahhhh! Just think how patient  were we back then waitng for the tape to load…. (both sides!!!!) and nowadays we get annoyed when the load screen comes up on the playstation! ha ha

Best game of all time? Golden Eye on the N64. Who's with me?

LOL - dragged out he C64 the other week to load up a game for my boy who's eight. He asked where the CD's were, what the big thing was (pointing at the tape player), and best of all "how much longer will it take" then when it eventually loaded looked at it walked away went upstairs and fired up his PS1  

Thats the trouble with the younger generation…. no appreciation of "classic gaming"……….      

straight from chukckie egg and thrust on the  acorn electron, back in those days we would use a bbc b at school and the acorn electron at home, until the commodore, c64 cameout, what a legendary machine, manic miner, monty on the run, kickstart, ik+, thelast ninja… to name a few. wow how long did the take to load, patience was more commonin those days i think?!?!?!?!

3D monster maze on the ZX81 was pretty scary (at the time!)and could rightfully lay claim to being the first, 'first person' perspective game.

3D death chase on the spectrum was another favourite.

As for my all time favourite it would have to be either system shock 1 or Deus ex.Both made by Warren Spector, the man is a genius!

ihad a zx81 then a spectrum, spyhunter was my fav on that!
my dad was mad on elite
but


goldeneye on n64 takes the award!!!

Sorry gotta be elite . Tape decks - i cant listen to a fax machine these days without thinking of the days when you could start loading a game and then go and have dinner - go back to the computer only to find you still had to wait 5 minutes before the whole thing crashed and you had to start again   .Modern technology isnt all bad

Something I made for a chuckle when we were trying to decide on a logo!

That almost makes me teary eye'd   , must be able to get them made . Can someone please make them and sell me two .

I agree Kins, Goldeneye is the best game ever. I still have my N64 and still play occasionally. A Sniper rifle kill to the back of your mate's head (preferrably when he is playing as Oddjob)in the combat mode is the best feeling ever.
