Working in shifts with my brother to get through all the levels of manic miner, with no save option. Them were the days.

GazTheHat

Manic Minor, Ghostbusters and Spy vs Spy. You guys have just brought some memories flooding back.

Now i've got an urge to play them and Skool Daze.

There was a Frankie goes to Hollywood tie in (adventure type thing) and a game called Blagger by Alligata with a sequel called son of Blagger, both were platformers.

Blagger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Written by Tony Crowther, legendary C64 programmer, I sent him a letter as a kid and got a really nice reply, well chuffed.

Dave_68

Still play that on the PC

falkster

Which was the one where you had to overcome all the super heros??? It was a big green case might have been by Alligata

hail-hail

I had a spectrum, Way of the Exploding Fist, Jetpac, Jet Set ***** ands Manic Miner all classics. Liked Attic Attack and Renegade too, remember one of the bosses was a big fat burd Big Bertha????

Mate had a C64 and we used to spend hours on Brian Cloughs Football Manager, it was a computer/board game where you would use the c64 for the dice to move round the board, you then typed in your team stats and the c64 done the game, transfer market and other things. Remember playing along one day and then getting my squad decimated in an Earthquake ffs!
Barry M'Guigans, International Soccer (Cartridge), and Mission Impossible were all classics. There was a Basketball game we used to play as well.

We than ran up and down his hall playing football smashing our toes off the radiator!

GazTheHat

Memories, such good memories.

Think i might try and dig out a C64 emulator tonight.

Anyone got any links?

Anyone remember Forbidden Forest ?

GaryK

Agreed I think those are the best games of *all* time even with the current crop of multi-million budget games produced by teams of hundreds.

And yes Paradroid on C64 is awesome as is Uridium.

Norman D. Landing

WTF??!!

Honestly!? Oh my god Oh my god !!! Link pleeeeeeeease

<twiddles thumbs>

GazTheHat

Aah, Uridium, that was the closest i could get to the arcade, Star Force. Now that is a classic. I went to buy that in a jamma cabinet too, but it was sold when i got there.

Lord Shrek

thats the one but the days of thrashing over comic book breast cleavage shots are well and truly over

although having had a C64 i think the spectrum 48k rubber keypad will be the one i always remember...a phenomenal amount of games and Underwurlde and Wheelie will always be cherished

i think the best gamers today honed all their skills over the old style games

would you get the kids of today playing platform games like manic miner and chuckie egg.....1 false move and game over...no chance

they wouldnt have the patience...no quick saves on sabrewulf,jet pac or knightlore

Lord Shrek....my mate glopped over Judge Anderson in 2000AD

slickrick

i recently acquired a disk with 1400 arcade games on it.

every single arcade game ever made from the 70's to the end of the 90's

talk about nostalgia


they all play on your pc and when i say every game i mean every game.

Lord Shrek

the hours must fly by in your house

Lord Shrek...slick rick and his needle dick

slickrick

they do now,i play them all from 1942,altered beast all the way down to zaxxon

and i only paid £1 for it

Lord Shrek

i play counter-strike, given up world of warcraft after 2 years due to mental insanity, bf1942 sometimes, battle for middle earth 2 sometimes and a company of heroes

Lord Shrek....i miss my space invaders for the sheer boredom factor

Shark Man

Imagine how far you'd get with 64K of RAM these days...

Probably used that much making this post
