Now then, I played Air Support on the old Atari 800xl for days on end. Kind of RTS long before the likes of C&C. Missile commandwas another. Railroad Tycoon 1 on ST, Amiga and my early PC. Their finest hour on the ST was another favourite, Ikari Warrior was great because I was addicted to the Arcade version in the Students Union so playing it on my ST saved loads of dosh ....... I could go on and on and on

 

Raid Over Moscow, Bubble Bobble, Outrun, Green Beret, Rambo, Commando, Beach Head II, Summer Games, Winter Games and Super Scramble were my favourites on the Commodore 64 all mostly circa 1984/1985!

Mega Apocalypse was a great 90's ish C64 game too...cool music!

Sacha

 

Bubble Bobble! how could I forget..... what a wasted youth.

 

oh i forgot about dune 2 on the amiga
also pretty fond of cannon fodder aswell

 

I had a look at one of the ST emulators a while back, some things are better left as a distant memory like the gem o/s

 

i could not agree more m8,a horrible creation.the st was a great computer though(especially for midi musicians)the internal sound was in a word.....crap

 

Yes, in the "my computer is better than your computer" wars I stuck with the ST for years, sold out in the end though and bought an Amiga

 

i did the same m8.i didnt sell my atari(its on my desk at the moment)but i did move on to an amiga 500 then a 1200aga
the 1200 was a great computer with a top soundchip(just like the 64)the pc came along and blew me away though as soon as i saw wingcommander 3,although the dodgy acting put me off a bit

 

Loved Sensible Soccer for the Amiga.......I was looking for an emulator for it a few weeks ago but didn't manage to find it then forgot about it.

 

Wizball and Rainbow Island were good uns
as well as Lemmings, fkin loved Lemmings

Sim City was also pretty bloody great, played it for eons, still play its sucessor Sim City 4

not quite as old as you folks, so I didnt even get my first computer till mid - late 80s

 

Attic Attack on the Spectrum - excellent fun

 

i also loved power drift in the arcades.i must of spent a grand on that machine.

 

I think mine must be.

spectrum= Skooldaze/Back To School
BBC = Elite
C64 = Bruce Lee/ Pogo joe
Amiga = Marathon Mines / Ruppel Mines (boulderdash clones)
Arcade = Galaxian/Bombjack

For me it was Star Flight and Mechwarrior that were the be all and end all.

I still have them too.

 

Apologies if this has been linked to before, but its just so apt

Hey Hey 16k

Green Beret, Dune 2, Cannon Fodder, Rainbow Island, Bubble Bobble, Jet Set Willy, Dynamite Dan, the entire Dizzy collection...

Have a Megadrive/Genesis emulator on my comp and will still spend hours playing Desert Strike, Mega Lo Mania or Sonic

 

If you ever find one that works you'll have to let me know, I've searched for many years to no prevail. The only one i found, was one that need you to plug your PC into your Amiga.

This is no good to me as mine has been F***ed for the last 2yrs.


I have over 200 games

I need to play them...

I need that nostalgia......

I CAN'T TAKE IT HEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP MMMMEEEEEE!!!!

Deep breath, any was yes....Ahem...if you do? could you? thank you.

I think i saw an amiga emulator on the cover of a retro games magazine recently - it could be worth keeping an eye out if you're in the UK.
