I remember when....

[PEO]

yep thats what happend..... every night

[HodgeHi]

Does anyone remeber the "knight" franchise. Spellbound was one of them and finders keepers. Knight time and a few more. Great RPGs of their time they were. Very similar to the way Dizzy worked.

 

And sabrewulf? a Rare title for the amstrad and speccie.

 

Also the mastertronic series, especially roland in the caves. Man that game was impossibe. I managed to get off the first screen and then died. You had a fair few lives if i recall correctly but had to start from the beginning if you lost one. Didn't beat it.

 

And also the last Ninja series on the commadore great series although the last one not too good. Apparently they are trying to remake it in 3d though for the next gen consoles.

 

And shadow of the beast on the Amiga. My brother beat it fair and square and man he did good to do that.

 

Boulderdash construction kit was awesome. Best construction modeller ever.

 

And lastly (but not least) Vampire on the amstrad? Wow. I only know of one person who could play that game, my old man.

 

He got to the the very end where you had to peddle the bike to lower the drawbridge but it wouldn't work. haha, man he was not happy.

 

Good times they were. Oh how i miss them.

 

If i remember any more i will post them.

 

PS never beat sorcerer +. Had too many games on the go.

Wow, that just took me back in time! Used to love Spellbound and Finders Keepers! Dizzy was amazing, completed all of them.

 

Other games I used to play were Schooldaze, Knight Tyme, Gauntlet, Batman, Green Beret, Renegade and Storm Bringer.

 

Just found a site where you can download loads of old speccy games. Might have a little look tonight, haha! Mental to think each game is about 50k in size on average!

[HodgeHi]

Then check out the spectrum widget as well.

 

Speccie widget

[HodgeHi]

Gryzor on the amstrad. Sequal was contra on snes i think.

 

Midnight resistence. Played that not long ago on the xbox.

 

Diddy Kong racing. I played this over christmas for 72 hours solid. Got to the end where you had to fly against the big bloke.

 

Head over Heels.

Deperate Dan.

Bruce lee on the amstrad.

Yei ha kung foo. I clocked this until it went into the alphabet.

Speedball 2- Brutal deluxe. On the Amiga was the best version. Had last match to win the 1st division but my cousin decided he would like to play the last one and lost. I would have battered him senseless but i was too bust crying:-(

 

Army Moves

Navy Moves

Navy Seal

Game Over

 

I do remember a game where you start as a naked man/monkey looking guy and then you get a blue astronaught type of suit and then it gets really good.

 

What was it called?

[Lee_K_81]

Got a whole bunch of Sega Roms on my N95 as well as Monkey Island 1/2 and other games that use the scum engine.

 

Also quake 1 running on the N95 is pretty impressive I must say, the lazy so and so hasent written in multiplayer support yet lol.

 

Ahhhh, Monkey Island (eyes glaze over)........

 

Monkey Island, best games every. Guybrush, what a man. "You fight like a dairy farmer", "How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"

 

Amiga was fab, lemmings, Cannon Fodder ("War! Never been so much fun......", Monkey Island, Indianna Jones and the fate of atlantis, Gods, Sensi Soccer, The original Champ Man, my friend won the league as Spurs, and decided to play "We are the champions", over and over and over and you get the picture. He still talks about it to this day. Those were the days. Oh and Moonlight, walking round chopping peoples heads off, great.

[Elky]

Dont get me started on sensi soccer and champ man!

[BKGarry]

I rememer waiting for my dad ZX2 to load the loading screen in 10mins with all that basic noise

[HodgeHi]

My old man spent around 2 years trying to get flyspy working in the tape deck.

 

He tweaked those pots like mad!!

 

And meltdown on the old amstrad. Toook an absolute age to load and wasn't even any good.

 

Locomotion.

Spikey Harold.

 

Does anyone remember wriggler II races?

 

A worm running (?) a race and went through hell (literally) and other areas.

[BKGarry]

Operation Wolf!!!!!!!!!

[HodgeHi]

operation thunderbolt

[Geoff]

Track and Field and many broken joysticks!

[HodgeHi]

hyper sports on amstrad but before that Daly Thompson Decathlon.

 

Excellent blister makers they were. My uncle managed to get the shot put at least three screens length. We looked on in amazement.

 

I forgot to mention Robocop on the Amiga. What a game based on a film. Nearly as good as Batman the Movie.

[Pottsey]

Wing Commmander, Mega-Lo-Menia, Dungeon Master, very tempted to dig out those 3 and try them again.

[Guest aliv25]

Crystal Maze and Krypton Factor used to be on TV

[Bromcom_John]

Those really bad Glen A Larson TV Series.. Sure he did Knight Rider but he also did "Manimal" and "Automan"

 

But they are so bad that they are great!!

[BKGarry]

As Long as it is Richard O'Brian not Ed Tudor he was bad

[HodgeHi]

Took about 45 minutes just to load the digitised scream during the loading of the game. Took an absolute age to load.

 

Project X (shoot em up on amiga).

Magic Pockets.

Valhalla I,II,and III

Xenon megablast Cool game and great sound to go with it.
