Anyone remember playing this? I played it in primary school on the computers our school had won (one per classroom, we were so leet...)

I remember that, the new "polygon" graphics tech blew away the sprites on the BBC micros, when the Acorn arrived it was like omgwtfpwn!

The Archimedes. Fabulous machine, way ahead of it's time and massively costly compared to the emerging Amiga and ST.

Mercenary (and Second City, also Damocles and Mercenary III on Amiga) C64 from 1985, once I start I'll play for days and I must have played through 30 odd times in my life

Driller (freescape) on the spectrum was fantastic. Followed up with Castle Master.

Also massively enjoyed the Mercenary trilogy and other games of that type. eg. Cybercon III.

Zak McKracken and the alien mindbenders. Old but still entertaining.

Little Big Adventure. Fun gameplay, great music and graphics well ahead of its time.

In answer to your thread title, I like playing Sonic 2, Bio Hazard Battle and Streets of Rage 2 on the Megadrive these days. all released in 1992!

Ah i remember this, I'm sure I had a demo disc from PC gamer.

Actually might have been Twisens odyssey, vague memories of kicking a kid off of a roof. :\

Nope, can't top that.

To be fair the main game I play is 15 years old though (Quakeworld), I suspect most people who regularly play older games don't actually have them as their #1 played game any more.

Whats so good about jedi knight? Ive been hearing that there is still an active community around this - feel free to do a long post, I am genuinely curious!

I played Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy religiously. I was pretty good for the most part (was quite competitive), and the community was always a laugh, especially if you had a few mates or something to do matches and things with.

Haven't been on it either for a few years, though, but I have a lot of good memories from both games (Jedi Academy more so).

Donkey Kong (1981), Bubble Bobble (1986), Dungeon Master (1987), Blood Money (1989) and before I forget (again)...The Eidolon (1985) - anyone ever play this?

Love going back to those games from my youth.

2 of my all time favourites

tried playing a few oldies on an emulator, a few weeks back.
tbh i didn't like it, looked horrible.

some games are best left in the past

YES! We had this at school, we had Archimedes computers. <3

Thanks! I loved LBA2 and I just found the CD amongst some stuff I'd packed away. I'm not holding out much hope of it working on Win7 but you never know...
