TheScope Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 How about paradroid/quazatron? Fekking awsome game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeahh fantastic that one. Remember a couple more, Nexus, and Movie. And Redhawk. "Say Kwah!" "Throw magnet at Electro". Talking of superhero games, the hulk and spiderman graphic adventures were quite fun too....

joeyconcrete Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I never had a Spectrum, I had a Commodore 16, Commodore 64 then an Amiga. I had probably one of the first "Cartridge" games for the Commodore 64 that loaded within a few seconds - it was amazing at the time (but a crap game). I also had some crazy green-screened Amstrad which had Manic miner on it. In terms of old games (in no particular order).. I always liked Rambo, the Dizzy series, Rampage, Rastan, Last Ninja, IK+, Joe Blade, Wings of Fury and Sensible Soccer All of which can be found here; http://www.cpcgamereviews.com/k/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScope Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Nahh, at the age when you're playing games like Daley Thompsons Decathlon having strong wrists is a biological necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyiom Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 some awesome memories with these games people..loved the jsw, elite, jetpac, gorf cart on the vic20, anyone remember zzoom on the spec? and dictator I think it was? Alien8 was ace as well. Got a very 'derr' story about elite; to cut it short, me and a mate tried to know everything possible about it cos someone gave us a spiel about unlocking the mythical planet raxxla; anyway we 'knew' it must exist cos we a had a screenprint in a mag of a space station at another 'unknown' planet called 'vorne' ; after several months we realised vorne is what you see in the german version for 'front view'...mwa mwa mwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Rainbow Islands and Ghouls & Ghosts used to play them on a black and white portable tv. When my ma let me use the colour tv for the computer for the first time, I thought they were absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
