winuae is the best amiga emulator.i can get most games running with it but it may take a bit of fiddling about with the config settings.as for atari st emulators you have got to try steem,it is brilliant and rock solid to use.there are patches to run games that have had trouble in the past on the steem website.

My very first computer was my beloved Spectrum +2 with a built in cassete how posh was I huh??

My favourite games on that were Yi ar Kung Fu, Renegade, Spy Hunterand Way of the exploding fist....oh sweet sweet memorys

Then I got my Amiga 500 for my 12th birthday and that was like one of the best days of my life the first game I booted up on it was Xenon 2 Megablast with the "Bomb the Bass" soundtrack

Other classics were Lost Patrol, Cannon Fodder, Shadow of the beast 1 & 2, Stunt car racer, Pinball dreams, Secret of Monley Island god the list is endless, I've just noticed i've bored everyone one on this forum!! Sorry everyone.

 

LOL got a bit carried away there huh? I mis-read the part where it said Favourite old skool GAME!!!
Not your blood life story!!!!!!!!!! I reminice too much about my childhood and im only 25!!! hence the Avatar! At least it was a very happy time tho!

 

dizzy games? was that the one with the cool egg?
lol, that rocked

as did shadow of the beast, omfg i forgot about that leetness!!

 

Chuckie Egg!!!

 

It has got to be Double Dragon on the sega master system !!!

 

Where have I been all this time? Just found out you can download an arcade emulator called MAME which has a site whyere you can download the games and play them and guess which ghame I played for about 3 hours last night much to the annoyance of my girlfriend?
Double Dragon!

 

Got to be all the dizzys on specy 128 for me, almost spent a whole summer holiday playing those! If you do a google search for treasure island dizzy, somewhere you can download a PC emulator verison of the whole game - great fun. For those of us in the UK a new magazine has come out called 'Retro Gaming' It was in the shops last week and had a cover disk with 500+ games and emulators!
Jam.

 

It's on the Codemasters website - www.codemasters.co.uk they've released it for free download, running on the ccs64 emulator.

Go on, everyone give it a go!
You need to register though.

Oh yes, and have Fantastic Dizzy on my Megadrive emu too.

 

Lets not forget Manic Miner

It was THE game that sucked me into PCs in the first place, well the Spectrum anyway.

 

Aaaaaw Pete -

Manic Miner - forgot all about that one

 

Mine was commando, Moonstone, Gauntlet, Operation Wolf, Green Beret, Mortal Kombat, kick off, Dizzy's and Eye of the Beholder (Best RPG ever made) all on the good old amiga. Those were the days how I miss them...

 

eye of the beholder,i had forgotten about that one.great game.

 

Now if we're talking RPG's anyone remember Dungeon Master?

 

Sorry but Eye of the Beholder beats them all hands down. It was one of the only games that brings a tear to my eyes thinking about what a sad git I was spending all those hours playing it... but what a fantastic game. Wish they would make a 4th one. I played the GBA version and nearly cried because it wasn't a port of the original...
