🙂 Nintendo and Goldeneye

Haha, Monkey Island, that was good old fun. 🙂

😆

We live in a World of Soccer 😛

The semi follow up of Cannon Fodder was also great.

Hehe. I used to annoy my mates by just charging straight down the middle. I seem to remember you could get some crack swerves on shots. Your goals could be Ronaldo-esque at a time when Ronaldo was just a nipper.

You could pretty much swerve it in from anywhere from about the halfway line. So much of my life was wasted on that game. How many joysticks were ripped in two playing that game.

I still have my Amiga 500+ in my parents' attic. If I could find some joysticks that work on it I'd be able to give you a game. We'd all try to do a Nayim! 🙂

My Amiga bust in the end unfortuantley. But I could maybe get Double Dragon going on the Speccy if you are up for it?

🙂 My computer history went ZX81 -> Amiga 500+

I kind of missed the whole Spectrum thing. Played a bit of Frogger on a friend's machine though.

Remember playing Bomber on my mates zx81. Christ they were crap 😀

Spectrum 48k+, Spectrum 128k +2, Amiga 600, Game boy, PC, Gameboy Advance, PS2, Nintendo DS, Wii, PS3 and now I dont seem to play any

yeh, ZX81, i think that was the first home computer, flat keys if i remember correctly?...Frogger was great on the Atari too

There was a zx80 before it I think. Half a k memory.

😆 That's the one game I could get to load on it. My machine had the 16k memory expansion. For those that don't remember, yes, you read that right, an upgrade the size of a blank Word document.

Yes, flat keys and cassette loading. Took about 20 minutes to boot up!

You must have thought you were the mutts nuts

Binatone, Grandstand, Atari 2600, spectrum 48k, Vectrex, Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, PS3

I still do a cracking impression of a loading spectrum

oh yeh, bloody hell, never seen one of those before!

Not really Cheese. The Commodore 64 had long been out by the time we got the ZX81. 😆

Lol

🙂

We need you to do a special appearance on the podcast just so we can hear that Cheese! 🙂

Not exactly an early adopter then? Like myself I guess, it seemed so much more acceptable to have second hand/ hand me downs in those days.

I can do an old style modem as well

Yes. Ours was £10 second hand. In an era when a lot of homes had no computer and the classroom BBC was as close as many got to one, that still felt pretty special. Geez, I sound like my parents when they talk about television. 🙂

How old are you. I guess similar to me at 35? I am on my WC by the way it is looking pretty good imo. Back at the top of the Burj in a couple of weeks.

What's this? Fantasy Football talk? What kind of forum do you think this is? 😉 Yes I'm nearly the same as you. Why did you activate? (Hehe, the word activate reminds me of Robot Wars.)

hehe, got a nice slant on things you have Diva

Well Hypnodisc got a 6 month injury. Sergent Bash was still injured and frankly wasn't setting the world on fire as my 5th midfield. My mate beat me in a H2H for the first time last week and I was hoping to do him by 100% this season. I wanted Sir Killalot and I wanted a better defensive rotation. I could have got away with a hit or two but I know I would have been underperforming Matilda leaving to go to Villa really cheesed me off.

oh, cracking blog Diva, I have come across that before, not put the two together. excellent job.

+∞ Cheesoid.

Thanks Facer. Good chatting. Back in a bit. Real life to take of. 🙂

TY

yeh, you too and the rest of the guys, a cool bit of nostalgia, gotta hit the sack now anyway...cheers gents

Wow, Used to love Populus. Was that early Sega?

I thought it was on the Amiga..

1989 made by Peter Molyneux on the Amiga. Utopia 1981 so you win by a bit!

Ha, Populus! Used to spend hours left clicking and right clicking to level out the land so your fort could expand to a castle. That game must have inspired so many of the clones such as Age of Empires and latest mobile games.

I don't remember Intellivision at all, Gnu. We had to drive 20 miles to our nearest computer game shop and a month to save up enough pocket money for a game. Still remember how excited I was at picking up Spy Hunter!

I think you're right. Pretty sure I played it mostly on the Sega mega.

Came out in '79, released in Europe in '82 according to Wiki.
Brother bought a lot of stuff from the states at that time so it would have been about then.

Just remembered Ranarama on the Spectrum, many lost hours on that one too.

I suspect Dizzy sucked up most of my Spectrum days. Did you ever have Streetfighter 2 on the spectrum that had the longest loading times to play a brief (slow) fight in yellow and black. So boring but pretty amazing they could do it at all.

Populus was a great game, Utopia was the foundation I guess. Seemed brilliant at the time.

Remember getting terrible blisters playing it.
Armor battle, Utopia, Tron & Atlantis stand out in the memory.

Cough (Nerds) 😛
