Gaming , going back!

I remember buying an Atari 400 just to play this game...happy days!


Graphics haven't aged a day!
 

Guess what i got working in winaue! SO SO EASY

Just emulate the iso/bin in deamon tools , load up winaue , Click on Quickstart tab , Model CD32 , Start

:cool:
 
I still love playing dig-dug on my Atari 2600 every now and again - I just don't want it to die on me so it gets treated very well indeed these days.

I remeber playing lemonade stand on my Commodore 64 back in the days and waiting forever for the datasette to load it!
 
How do i put up a youtube clip? nm got it.

This was the first game i remember playing. This was after we got fed up of playing bat and ball on some orange console thing.

I remember playing old PC games that I don't remember names for :(


One in particulr which was awesome was where you flew to various space stations transporting cargo, was bichin. Anyone have any ideas?
 
As always, Chaos by Julian Gollop.

Easy to find the rom and a speccy emulator or can try the flash version here Instructions here. More depth to it than it looks like on the surface!

The Making of Chaos, Edge magazine feature on the game.

If only there was an online multiplayer version :(

Man, Repton was the game I grew up with. I loved the whole series.
BBC Mirco is an amazing system. Had a load of prestine working ones until I sold then recently :( Managed to get nearly £100 for an original copy of Elite.

Penality of death right there :D

I just can't think of the game though , do you remember if it was a top down strategy style game or an in ship one
 
Boulderdash was an awesome game as well.
(Reptor was a clone)
I remember playing with a Quickshot 1 joystick and having amazing control.

Tried again recently with a gamepad and I had nowhere near as much control
(Must be getting old!)

It was top down in the space station, where you controlled a little guy and picked up missions. Can't remember what pov the craft was.

Came out on PC, Amiga, ST and c64 initially and got ported to the Mega Drive later.
