Yes Commdore Amiga was good one I used Vic-20 then C64 and then Amiga -- great games ive spend all time from 1980 until 1995... it was the best one plus games wars with Specturm and others... I bought Amgia from Germany while my brother based RAF there cos it was so cheap than in the UK and then sold before I bought 1st Windows 95 (Im now running Win 7)...

That will be the funky yellowish-brown colour that reminds me of somebody who chain smokes! It has been the bane of old computers for years until somebody stumbled upon a cure and there has even been research into why this happens in the first place. The best part is it can be reversed without damaging anything :D

Google "RetroBrite"

EDIT: Just to ensure the dons, retrobrite is not a commercial product!

Remember the ridiculous end of season load times on the original Championship manager, leaving it on overnight was often the best option. Took about 1.5 hours to start a new game as well iirc.

Prior to Champ man I used to love Player Manager. Other favourites were Strider, The Spy Who Loved Me, Stunt Car Racer, World Championship Boxing Manager, IK+, California Games, Syndicate...those were the days can even remember there was a version of x-copy professional or something that ran tetris while you copied


God yea!!! It took forever. Well worth it tho IMO. Haha

IK+ now there is a game that I totally forgot about, and was legendary.

What was the name of the game with the bomb the base soundtrack, it was a spacey shooter iirc

I'd pay good money for a copy of Supercars II on the PC although I think it would be ideal for mobile phones, nice short races and a bit of humour thrown in.

And you people are wrong here - it was all about the Atari ST. :p
 
Maybe it was short mate but it was good fun, good graphics, good soundtrack and it was a shooter!! QUALITY

ohhh i agree i loved it i must have completed it over 100 times it was just the lack of an ending (was like i was waiting for the next level to show up)
as if i hadnt bought the full game just a demo
 
it was far to short
i was gutted the whole game was 15 mins long

No way the whole game can't have been just 15 mins long.

Play on the emulator a few times, not for that long will need to give it a go on trainer mode to check but just off the top of my head there were about 8 final bosses. The shrimp thing, the big spider, the long boss that you had to kill things along one side then the other.

Can't have been just 15 mins surely.
 
Man, I miss playing on the old Amigas Soooooo much...

Here's a list of my faves...

SWoS, Cannon Fodder, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Island, Dune II, SWIV, Xenon II, Turrican II, Project X, Lemmings II, Worms, Gods, Chaos Engine, Alien Breed II, Speedball II, Flashback, Settlers, Secret of Monkey Island, Z-Out, Disposable Heroes, New Zealand Story, Syndicate, Great Giana Sisters, Blues Brothers, Speedball II, Budokan, Ruff n Tumble, Banshee, and good old Jimmy White's Snooker. :)

The hours wasted on those... Forget LAN parties, we had Amiga parties.
