Aw crap. This thread has just killed any semblance of productivity for my weekend. Jet Set Willy anyone? How 'bout some Treasure Island Dizzy? Skool Daze?

EDIT - just thought of another awesome game: Beneath A Steel Sky.

[digit]

Just remembered some more: Bubble Dizzy, Jill of the jungle, Jazz Jackrabbit, Hocus Pocus, Wacky Wheels - hard to believe it was made by 3d Realms! So so different from the games they made since

[matty-hodgson]

(23:52) Matty: is that game real?

(23:53) Lee: :\ it was on the amiga
(23:53) Lee: that is maaany years ago
and it was ******* ace

you should change the white of your avatar to hexus battleship grey, its what all the cool cats are doing

and again, it was me

[kopite]

Treasure island dizzy was the first Dizzy game i played and got me addicted to them. I remember that there was a glitch in the cave underwater where you could jump out the back and fall through a load of screens.

Dizzy games where brilliant

I am ashamed of you guys


1944 was mentioned but not 1942??

no R Type, no Wonderboy, no Bubble Bobble, no Bad Dudes Vs The Dragonninja, No Shadowninja, no Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, no Outrun, no Hot Rod, no Chase HQ?

and thats just the arcade games, not the computer ones

Jet Pac, Lunar Jetman, TransAm, Atic Atac, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Way of the Exploding Fist, IK+


list is too long really, but you missed out the classics guys, come on

Anyone recall pitfall on the Atari 2600 as well as the Smurfs game ?

No ? Now these were classic games I spent many a hour playing as a young gamer

Never played pitfall on the 2600... Missile Command, yes! a friend of mine still has a 2600, its boxed and in mint condition, all the games are in their original boxes to.

I had an Atari 800XL, 64k, 8-bit awesomeness!! My Dad bought it when I was 2 years old, and I gamed on it until I was 11 years old so it had a good run. Had some brilliant games for it:

Pac-man
Bruce Lee (platformer, it was two player. One person could be this strange green creature called Yamo)
Zorro
Rampage
Mr Do
Captain Sticky's Gold
Gauntlet (Classic! used to play that with my sister for hours and hours)
Chop Suey - Karte game
Missile command (it has a cartridge slot)
Robin Hood

Tonnes more I can't even remember, sadly she has died that old girl... she's in my loft with a dead PSU.

Ahhh Cannon fodder, cost me £10 in makro and came in a box 5 times bigger than the 3.5" disk inside. What a game that was, and Syndicate although full of graphical glitches and slowdown was awesome as well.

anybody remember IK+?

[Stringent]

Have to admit, I know what it is but never played it.

[G4Z]

Ohhh, anybody remember Alien breed 'special edition 92' on the amiga?

[G4Z]

Have to admit, I know what it is but never played it.

Was a speccy and C64 classic, loved that game.

[kopite]

My first computer was a commodore 64 and the first game I can remember on it was bear bovver.

I remember paying 2.99 for budget games and 9.99 for a full price game. There used to be a shop in Liverpool called Bits and Bytes. All the full price games where stuck to the walls whilst Budget where in boxes in the centre.

Hd a C64, my parents used to love a game called Rockman.

My next games console was a Mega Drive (lets not go there otherwise thread hijack etc ...) now a PS3!

[G4Z]

I remember being able to buy budget games for £2.99 in newsagents. Sometimes they had tapes with 4 games on them, although I can't remember any of them being particularly good.
