DAZZD88 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Even though I'm only 21 (22 on 18th of Feb) the other day I was reminiscing about my love of our old Commodore 64 and how I loved playing Outrun and Thundercats etc... Well I got a special offers email from Play.com and check it out. Anybody else for some retro gaming?
Duane_Dibbley Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 thats amazing. as long as it has Magic Pockets im gettin it. I can't believe my mum threw our C64 out...sad times.
BrianG Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I'm definately getting that !! 99 Tapes worth of games on one CD !
andy_nic Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Super Nintendo and Sega Mega drive were my favourites. Super Mario world, sonic 1-3. Plus I still have both my Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive. . Might see if I have any spare cash at the end of the month and splash out on that, looks like the kind of old games I love.
Duane_Dibbley Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 No Magic Pockets nor Last Ninja bah...whats the point then? looks like i'll just have to stick with earthworm jim on my megadrive
hullpete Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 i remember hawkeye! and the ledgendary rob hubbard, his tunes were fantastic and probably the best known composer of c64 tunes, and of course he was born in my home town of Hull, lol

All I'm gonna say, back on the C64 retro gaming topic, is you could never beat a bit of Fantasy World Dizzy! Oh and the Amstrad CPC 'owned' the C=64
bio Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 What about river raid or commando... great fun !! bio..
hullpete Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 if your into the c64 music side,, its worth downloading sidplay for the pc,, then u can download .sid files and play them in the style of the 64
busby Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Guys just check out mames32 all the old games downloadable i loved ghouls and ghosts and Vendetta is on it too
tmcd35 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 if your into the c64 music side,, its worth downloading sidplay for the pc,, then u can download .sid files and play them in the style of the 64 I'm sorry, but 8-bit audio has all the charm of Stephen Hawkin singing along to an Eminem record! (or should that be the other way round?).
3s-gtech Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Still got all three of my C64s, plus Datasettes, Action Replay, 300 tapes, all safely packed up. All worked last time I checked too! They'll be in my museum one day
JJonas Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) has play.com crashed? I dont appear to be able to get on there anymore edit working now Edited February 12, 2010 by JJonas
OutToLunch Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Wasn't Magic Pockets 16 bit only (ie PC/Amiga/ST)?
Mako Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Wasn't Magic Pockets 16 bit only (ie PC/Amiga/ST)? I believe so. Don't recall it on the Commadore. I was always an ST Fanboy. Desperately trying to resist the waves of nostalgia...
TronXP Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Oh and the Amstrad CPC 'owned' the C=64 Have to agree being a CPC owner myself
tmcd35 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 And what, exactly, is wrong with that? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3378384/HawkingRap.mp3 It's blocked by the LEA - that's whats wrong with that
DMcCoy Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Way of the exploding fist Impossible mission Paperboy Little people Outrun Kixstart Snowball Sunday (I like the music, the SID was excellent). Load "*",8,1 Run
Chunky Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I'm getting this just for the joystick - they were awesome sticks, and I think they were only surpassed by the original Atari stick. Chunks
laputa01 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Did anyone ever own those old Catridges for the 64? Badlands and Football was mine.
tmcd35 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Ahhhh Magicland Dizzy on the Atari ST Oh the Dizzy game were the muts on the ol' 8bit systems. In fact anything by Codemasters. For under a £5 from the local newsagents If we're gonna move on to 16bit reminensing then I'm gonna club your ST to death with my Miggy and mention classic such as... Moonstone, Flashback, Pushover, Xenon and Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (although I may have had that last one one the CPC now I come to think of it). If you want to talk in game music Xenon II on the Miggy was pretty good.
BJG Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) I'm sorry, but 8-bit audio has all the charm of Stephen Hawkin singing along to an Eminem record You won't be shelling out a grand for a Sidstation then...?
