Hmmm - some people seem to have had a LOT of time available in 'the old days'

It wasn't easy to sit in front of text based adventure games, wireframe speedy things or Jet Set Willy for large periods of time. Generally you'd hammer the keyboard/computer/joystick (which would do more damage to you or your furniture than the item itself, carrying on working) and then run off out to jump on a rope swing somewhere.

@localzuk Yes, the third one is Kye.

 

There was a Windows version of it. I played it several times over then attempted to make my own levels which only required a text editor to make them.

Name the game!

One of the finest, hardest, and most underrated games ever made. Boy did you need a lot of time to play it!

i think patience was more the issue. I suspect i could of played it 10 years ago when i had patience now if i forced myself when i was 12 yeah i think i just tied to create big explosions lol

not to mention joystick waggling/destroying games then that destroyed joysticks and anything in the area the joystick could be used as a bludgeon against lol

A bunch of Mac games and toys to guess for you... These were my childhood.

 

As it seems we don't have many Mac gamers on here, I'll name them.

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission on Steam

 

This is the version I Remember

 

 

It required much patience, and a degree of skill. Especially as the damned enemy Carrier seemed to be able to traverse the map much more quickly than mine!

 

Okay, here's my contribution.

 

What's this?

It's Lander for the Acorn Archimedes.

 

EDIT: Went looking it up and didn't realise it got released as Zarch. The version I played at Primary School was the tech demo which was called Lander.

Only if you bought the Official Dreamcast Magazine! I still have it somewhere as well, although my DC has seen better days...

Yes it is! figured it was a good starter for ten...

[EliteCommander]

Could be a very strange angle of a Python from Frontier:Elite 2, but I'm thinking it's on a BBC or Acorn. Any clues ?

[localzuk]

How about this one, following with the flight games.
