That reminds me, it's time to write up a Turrican article :eek:

Does anybody find these old classics a lot more challenging than a lot of the modern fluff floating around these days?

I find it amazing I can spend more hours on less than two floppies than a 9gb game!

Without going all rose-tinted-goggles, they had to do more with less. They spent more time setting games up with intricate trading systems and depth rather than worrying about rendering the protagonist's sidekick's boobs in 16k textures.

Apparently there's no longer a market for trading and RTS games, otherwise we'd get more than one every five years...

Haaha just had a go at that, I can see it being very addictive! Ill probably get that. Think id use an xbox pad though.

Highly addictive - You only need left, right, 'jump' so nice and easy but gets stupidly hard

Oh dear lord, the memories. I wish I could go back, I miss my youth and my Amiga games. What fond amazing days. Best game ever and music, why can't they recapture the atmosphere and feeling in todays games.

Neil79 · 13 Jan 2014 at 19:54

I never played that game ^ there are some music remixes on youtube for it though

Metal Slug 4 ( I think )

TonyTurbo78 · 13 Jan 2014 at 19:57

I know Neil, I'm forever viewing Amiga long plays and music compilations on YouTube lol..I do have my Amiga still setup in my spare bedroom, but sadly some of my favourites no longer work and I'm gutted.....Wings, Turrican, Shadow Of The Beast, Unreal and The Lost Patrol all fall in that category :mad:

Neil79 · 13 Jan 2014 at 20:04

You could always buy an IDE cable + 4GB CF card

For a small fee I know someone who Installs HD and Classic work bench onto Amiga's. However I know how you feel about originals not working, same with me and Dizzy

TonyTurbo78 · 13 Jan 2014 at 20:16

Oh I can still play them if ya get me, but there's nothing that beats the originals

Neil79 · 13 Jan 2014 at 20:26

True

Nice thread..Love looking at some good old retro games

Secret_Window · 7 Apr 2018 at 09:16

Has anyone tried 4k downsampling on some the old retro games from the mid-late 90s like doom, Duke nukem, quake, half life etc? Really curious to see what they would look like. I don't have the ability to try them myself at the moment, as my pc is in bits.

Digital X · 7 Apr 2018 at 14:06

How can I can get screengrabs from a C64 or Amiga?

WINGS ( AMIGA )

Amazing game, one of my favourites. I still remember the manual and some of the passwords it asked for from certain pages lol. Played it to death, along with Knights Of The Sky and Lost Patrol.

I bought the remake on Steam but it's not the same game. I still play the original on my Amiga
