oh man, those fortress and chucky egg screenshots bring back memories! well, mainly of me taking the piss outta my mates BBC Micro cos i had an Amstrad CPC

cool games all the same

EDIT - ahh, also remembering those big ass BBC Micro disks! how big were they?! you could bend em too!

lucidcreations · 14-05-2003, 04:31

Yeah my first PC had the same disks 5.25". And they truely were floppy disks. I remember at college we had a computer that took 8" version of the same disk, huge!

Disks.....

15mins loading a casette then having to start again after a Loading error 5 mins before the end more like :x

And now I bitch and moan if it takes more than 20secs to load up Illustrator

lucidcreations · 15-05-2003, 04:41

yeah i had to mark the volume setting on my spectrum 16k with my mum's nail varnish cos it would never load if it was to low or to high.

now that rings a bell! i remember it being a really highly rated game when it came onto the budget computers? was it the one with the kiwi bird or something?

...and don't forget the incessant music

It came in the Amiga 'Batman Pack' along with the titular Batman, f18 Interceptor, Deluxe Paint II (my introduction to computer based art... 32 Colours!?) and that great Workbench OS. It was the bestest prezzie I every got

I've got an old rental video of batman with the advertisement/competition for the "COMMODOR AMIGA BATMAN PACK" it is hilarious

lucidcreations · 16-05-2003, 06:35

i remember the day when i got the ram upgrade and i went from 500k to (tongue in cheek 8) ) 1mb oh yes i had speech on my tennis game......I was at the pinnacle

dan · 16-05-2003, 06:44

I remember that glorious day myself

Then one day I upgraded, ditched my trusty 500 and purchased a shiny new 1200. The speed the power the shear godliness... as for why I wasn't buying a console or a PC at that point, I never could tell.

[quote:fdf7f8c0e1]It came in the Amiga 'Batman Pack' [/quote:fdf7f8c0e1] - quality, thats what I had - got it from my mum when all around me still had c64s - I was a god amongst my m8s for a bit with those quality graphics and sound. I'd forgot about delux paint 2 , also my intro to computer art. I could never afford the 1/2 meg upgrade tho

Interceptor was also great - it would give you a mission miles away on the edge of the map and it would take like 20 mins of sitting in front of your screen to actually get to that point!

lucidcreations · 16-05-2003, 07:19

After my Amiga i got an Amiga CD32 games console which was cool but then commadore went bust :cry:

Did you ever actually manage to shoot anything down in a dog fight? I had enough trouble using my heat seekers and side-winders (used to love that, reminded me of Air-Wolf).

Safe to say a fighter pilot I ain't

dan · 16-05-2003, 07:23

Hey you remember that VCD Black 500 thing... Can't remember what it was called but I think it shipped with flashback amongst others - or maybe Another World (mamushka mamuska - ugendarrr" )

Did anyone ever have one of those, I never really understood what they were...

[quote:501d8b7a45]Did you ever actually manage to shoot anything down in a dog fight?[/quote:501d8b7a45] not with bullets no

I think it was impossible. Bagged a few with the heatseekers tho.

I was bidding on an a600 on ebay the other day - just for old times sake - I still own my NES/SNES/Gameboy etc

Mr Fred · 16-05-2003, 07:29

dorian · 16-05-2003, 14:59

Flashback, Another World... great games

Anyone remember SpaceAce? That was great graphics with no gameplay

I think I saw a pc version of that...

Speedball 2

Alien Breed!!!

greenfruit · 16-05-2003, 15:06

Flashback was great, and what was the 3D 3rd person sequel on the PS? That was fun too.
