I've got Treasure Island Dizzy and many Amiga games, but most of the floppies don't work anymore

 

[dreigns]

yeah they do decay over the years I backed up as many as I can to cd/dvd

 

[Neil79]

I was gutted when my Dizzy game didn't work

 

[da_mic_1530]

Are the memories, I used to play lotus turbo challenge 2 on my acorn as a child!

 

[Columbo]

Have some Doom...

 

[d_brennen]

Possibly my favourite game ever, and a wonderful showcase for the power of Glide Though it's only '96, is that retro enough?

Same here. Have some really great memories of playing this game when I was at school. Also love the music for it. I have it on Steam so need to get around to installing and playing it.

 

[Neil79]

Awesome

Forget the Steam version, follow one of the many guides out there to installing it in DOSBox and adding in the superior Playstation music, Glide patch and a Glide wrapper like nGlide. For added effect use an actual PS1 pad with a cheap USB adaptor from eBay (though tbh I prefer KB for the classic TRs)

e: and use 4:3 resolutions, no one wants a fat Lara

I'll look into that,thanks. Why does the PSX always have better music than the PC versions? It was the same with Doom and FF7 and 8 I believe.

Would a PS3 pad work as I have just set this up for playing Mortal Kombat as the 360 pad was terrible.

This is only 12 years old or so... And brought to life with the evil E word on my PC

Sonic Adventure

Also one of my favourite games ever, and one I play yearly

Spoiler

Can't bring myself to use any of the fancy texture packs or modern clients for some reason. It's vanilla GL or nothing for me

e: PS3 pad will work fine using Joy2Key or similar. (I think MotionJoy would be better for PS3 pads, but I have never owned a PS3)

WINGS ( AMIGA )

 

[Guest2]

The one below image pretty much sums up retro for me
