isitafox Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I love my old Amiga 500 and Commodore 16 so much I won't let my dad chuck them out of his house, when I get room they'll get reconnected so I can show the kids a thing or two. Makes me laugh cause I look at my kids and other peoples and can't imagine them loading up a game on cassette like I used when I was 4/5, still remember (and have) some games I got for the Commodore for Christmas when I was young (P.O.D. and Squirm). Favourites have got to be Bandits At Zero, Fingers Malone (well hard!), Kikstart and Tutti Fruitti. Proper retro gaming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I had the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy text adventure game on the Amstrad pcw512k that my dad bought for work, green screen awesomeness with two 3" (not 3.5") floppy disk drives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Streets of rage 2 on the mega drive is still one of my all time favourite games Download SOR Remake (for PC obviously) it is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1040 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 final fantasy 7 8 and 9 are full of win on the ps1. No longer have any old consoles but the vita gets used as a handheld ps1 during nights at work. In the middle of playing ff8. Also crash bandicoot was the buisness wish they would revive that game for the ps4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yup, and about 90% of the people who played it probably never got past the first bit where you jump for the rope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I achieved this this year. Been able to get 25 for a long time, 24 was a thousand try push. Going to do it on a console sometime for it to be an official record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Most stuff mentioned, plus: Duke Nukem 3D Waiting forever for the real DN Forever One of the best FPS ever imo. Loadsa expansions, mods, tcs, community input. C&C Red Alert Red Alert 2 Very balanced competitive RTS. Got pretty good at RA2 at one point. Frank Klepacki is real talented composer. Quake 2 Again solid fps. Perfect soundtrack from Sacha Dickisen (spelling!) Ape Escape Strange but fun. Abes Odyssey Brilliant concept. Look into the newest game to be released if a fan. Medieval Dan the man. Golden Axe Like streets of rage but old times. Lemmings Classic. Worms Another OG classic. Sonic & Knuckles dbl cartridge Sonic at it's best imo Smash TV Birds eye view arena shooter. Co-op play. Like the Running Man film. LAPD Mechs that are from LAPD. Shoot shit. Think that's all i got. Played pong on the bbc computer at primary school, it was shit. Final Fantasy 7 & 9 are my all times favs. Even done them 2 years ago. Nobuo the composer is also great. Look into Distant Worlds if you wanna see the music live. It's eye watering stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Lemmings, forgot about that one. Real classic. Toe jam and earl anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Alex the Kid on the master system. Did you ever complete it? I got to lvl 12 or 13, so hard. But that was i was young. Can't remember what version it was. Was the built in to the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 LAPD Mechs that are from LAPD. Shoot shit. If that's the one I think it is, I only ever had it on a demo disc. It was probably the first disc that came with the original PlayStation. Either way, I massively regret never getting the full game, because that demo was the absolute best 2 player games I've ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 If we want to talk about difficult games then find me another person to complete Rainbow Islands fully with all the jewels in the right order. That shit nearly finished me off! I've still got FF7 on my PSP (everyone levelled up to 99 with full mastered materia) which I obviously didn't play at work..... In fact my PSP is awesome for emulators, just struggles when it comes to graphics on certain games like Clay Fighter and Stunt Race FX but that's cause of the lack of support with the emulators.
