ClareC Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I had a ZX Spectrum 48k too. Remember the tape recorder loading and squeaky sounds - and the dismay having waited ages for it to load only for it to crash and need to be repeated. I remember a game where you were a barman serving drinks - if you were not quick enough the punters got violent! I also remember Trapdoor which was great but never got very far, plus a game I think was called Booty which involved exploring a pirate ship and collecting things. All time favourite at my cousins house was chuckie egg! My neighbours had a commodore with cartridges - far more high tech! I moved onto a sega mega drive and played LOADS of Sonic the Hedgehog!

ultraburner Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Carrier command was good. Populous was great. Tau ceti was good too in a spooky/weird way.A lot of time was lost to spindizzy.

Jeremy Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I was a C64 kid all the way from the early 80s up until the early 90s. Early classics like summer/winter games, attack of the mutant camels, rollerball... through to R-Type, International Karate+, Hawkeye, Batman The Movie, Turrican. And of course the Last Ninja games which finally pushed the platform to the limit.

Otta Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 YES The Last Ninja! Was trying to remember them. I never had them but used to play on my friend's C64.Summer/Winter Games were fun but I was shit at the surfing.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 A bar is opening soon down Rye Lane - The Four Quarters. It has some "vintage" arcade games etc in it.

El Pibe Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I thought about doing something similar years ago, and i've seen gaming pubs comne and go over the years. they nevver last, too niche to drum up business, to off putting to (and i hesitate to use the term) normal people.But maybe vintage gaming is an ironic thing for people who have only ever known a world with mobile phones and HD gaming.
