Classics. I used to be so envious of one friend who not only had a speccy 48k but also a printer.

In the end I got a commodore 64 and was envious again when I stayed with a family in Germany. They had a commodore 64, floppy drive, printer and Simon's basic.

I was amazed at how quickly the games loaded up.

Oh god! Gauntlet was frigging ace!

I'm pretty sure Gauntlet 2, allowed you to play two player (which I did with my bro)... I also seem to recall you could choose to be a Warrior, Wizard or a Dwarf... It's no wonder I'm a Prog. head!

Manic miner. Reckon you could complete it without cheating, been playing it emulated on my ds and I've got up to level 11 with no dying. That one with the computer chips and stuff flying about does me though.

 

[Kosh]

Louts, yep, and Spy Hunter... God I'm nearly in tears...

There was a game (something) woods or something, where you had to fight various dudes a screen at a time... God I loved that game! What the hell was it called?

What was the name of that cricket game where pretty much all you had to do was answer the question "Run Y/N"?

Sounds shit but it was quality!

there is one downloadable version on the web. works brilliantly, the BBC version.

God Elite! That wasn't a game, it was more than that, it drew you in... it owned you.

Proof if nothing else, that shit looking games were perhaps, day I say it... more fun.
