Hopefully one day this will see the light of day, been in development forever tho.

SPEEDBALL 2 - official site

As for the originals, keep them as memories as i guarantee you'll be disappointed playing them

 

They're releasing the original Sensi soccer on Xbox Live sometime soon.
Dazza, I have AnotherWorld that you can play on the PC. Someones upscalled the textures so you can play it in SVGA!

 

Anyone remember...



on this...

 

My first console was one of these in 1980 (I think). Still got it somewhere...

 

Mate of mine had one of these:



Way ahead of its time. My first experience of Donkey Kong. Loved the Smurfs game too. Sure he had a light gun game for it too, but can't find any record of it anywhere.

 

Spectrum 48k for me too then upgraded to the 128k which wasnt exactly much better

I remember donkey kong and paperboy, bubble bobble too happy days

 

First one I had was one of these.

 

my first console was one of these (one of my earliest childhood memories!)







Known in the USA as the Fairchild Channel F, and known over here in England as the Adman Grandstand in the late 70's

 

Other Amiga games I've got:

Flashback
Loom
Monkey Island 1 & 2
Robocop 1,2,3
Lemmings 2
Blood Money
World Championship Soccer
Simpsons

 

Remember the Amiga demos, Jesus on E's etc ?

First games with speech on the 64, Suicide Express, Tales of the Arabian Nights, a crap game I bought just for the gravelly speech and of course 'Ghostbusters, Ha Ha Ha'

I had a Spectrum and a c64 (did a lot of paper rounds) and could settle playground arguments, never did decide whether Monty Mole was best on the Spectrum or C64 though.

Revs was good, first car game that tried to give any impression of driving.

 

My first was an Amstrad CPC 464 and loved it. Wicked game called harrier attack (harrier was a block of black pixels lol) that whole family was hooked on. Was cool that you could copy the tape games on your hifi. Was a pain when 2 games on one side of a tape though - had to fast forward and watch the tape counter.

My best upgrade experience was with a PC 486 dx2-50 4mb ram. I made the bold move to upgrade to 8mb ram which cost me a cool £125!

Yep. Had those demos on my large 420MB Hard Disk on the Amiga 1200. As well as the Schwartz demos and a rather cool Snowspeeder Vs. AT-AT Walker. Which I cleverly added a soundtrack from 'Empire Strikes Back' to.

One of the games I remember for The C64 was the 'Little Computer People'. The First 'Sims' type game. A mate of mine was lucky to have a 5 1/4 inch Floppy disk drive for his. And had flight sim games such as Apache and Stealth. Took less longer to load up than tape.

 

I used to subscribe to Amiga Power, loved the demo disc! There were some really good PD games! Sometimes there were 2 or even 3 discs!

 

I remember mean machines magazine I do miss buying computer mags as I tend to check online whether a game is worth buying or not these days.

 

Yeah, Amiga CQ, Amiga Format, Amiga Power, CVG, Mean Machines.

God I wasted pocket money.

Still got them all too, plus all the demo disks!

My Amiga was also 1mb

 

My phone memory card is 2GB, my first computer was 512MB hard drive

 

486 dx by any chance dx66 512 mb cd rom drive windows 95 and Dad paid a £100 to upgrade to 24mb of ram all for a mere £1200

 

ZX Spectrum 48k - first computer. Spent hours on it - Test Match, Horace series - even a free game with Weetabix - Weetabix Vs the Titchies!

I wrote programs for it, entered mag listings.

Neighbour got a Amiga 500 and I had to have one (That I eventually blew up by plugging a disk drive into the printer port. Ooops.

Luckily I had saved hard to buy an Amiga A1200 with 60mb hard drive. WOW! I wasted years playing Sensi Soccer. From begginging of 6th form until the end of Uni and beyond!

 

Sure was!

First computer I played with was an IBM 370 mainframe as part of a school project in 1969

Programming on Fortan IV, on punched cards

 

My first PC was an Amstrad - 8086 processor, 30MB hard drive and 640k of RAM.

The joys of DOS.............................

 

Started with a ZX81, with 1k and got the 16k ram pack for Xmas 3D Monster Maze was incredible given the machine it ran on

I moved on to a BBC Micro as they were teaching Computer Studies with them at school What a nerd, but there was ELITE to enjoy. My mates had C64's (awful for programming, everything was 'POKE') and Speccy 48k's. Used to go to their's to play DT Decathlon and the awesome Back 2 School

After leaving school I didn't bother for many years, ignoring the Sega/Nintendo wars, until I caved in and got a chipped PS1 to play snide games from the boot-sale Always wanted a Mac though after doing several desktop publishing and image processing courses.

Now run a fleet of Mac's at w*rk, and some PITA PC's Have a Mac at home (very old, slow and way past its retirement but still going strong) and am waiting to see what happens with the Mac Mini and Leopard before I upgrade soon.

Don't have the time for a PS2/3, XBOX or whatever now, but must admit, the Wii looks superb. More communal than the alone in the dark spotty wierdo gamer console. Might even be able to get the missuse playing on one.

 

Getting a teletext adapter for my BBC B and being able to download programs. Not that the programs were that cool looking back on it lol.

As mentioed by others, spent hours on Elite. (Downloading the EVE demo at the mo )

Getting an Archimedes computer. 1st one to have WYSIWYG if I recall correctly. I spent all my money buying hardware upgrades. (Shame ARM was sold on, hence ending its production)

Not bothering to do any course work for GCSE Computer studies, but writing 1 password protection program and getting a B grade overall. Get in! lol

Not using any computers for years, then trying to work out what the hell this internet business was about!

 

lmao

Getting some flashbacks here from that link

 

ROFLMAO me too

 

It's a long time back now, but weren't the ultimate baddies in Elite 'Thargoids' ? I recall octagonal ships with drones that whopped yo' @$$ from all directions. I used to save my game then head off into 'Witch Space' to up my kills

 

I was right CLICKY

 

My first Videogame console The Philips Videopac G7000 (european name). Magnavox Odyssey² - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I even had the first release with the silver controler with a square hole for the eight direction stick. I was about 6 years old at the time. The next computer was the Comodore C64 but the light colored one (version update?). Great memories.

 

Ad for Elite here featuring the music . . .
