the saturday evening thread

[Virgo's Haircut]

Aha - at last, a game I can play! Xbox, PS2 (with Hard Disk), untold PC's, GBA with flash cart, Gamepark32, Dreamcast, Playstation, 3 C64's, Spectrum +2, Amstrad CPC C64, Megadrive, Amiga, Atari 2600, Phillips CDI, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour. (Currently owned by me and/or g/f)

Ah I didn't mention my computers.

Amstrad CPC464, Commodore 64, Atari ST, Amiga and about 15 PC's, which I have 2 networked at the moment.

 

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

DAMMIT , i was winning as well

TGC er i mean....CGARA!

My Gamepark is poorly and one of the C64's doesn't work. And the Amstrad is green screen. So you might be in with a chance.

Bet I win on emulators and games though! All 18000 C64 games for a start!

We should have a geeks Top Trumps.

yep , i've got about 150 games

Oh yes TGC/CGARA you win on the Emu's.

I am still working my way through Gamebase.

I recently got hold of a few thousand CPC Roms too

There is a Gamebase for Spectrum and Atari ST as well. Nowhere near as big but worth a look.

Best value for money I've ever had - $10 a month for Easynews. 10GB of downloads from Newsgroups. I've got so much crap on DVD's now it is untrue.

OK..I know this is sad but as I am still trying to unfreeze my body from an enchanting afternoon at Withdean (a joke lads) I have a large glass of Famous Grouse and am on Flight Simulator flying a Boeing 737 from Miami to Phoenix 'cosit's warm in them there parts. Should land about 22 gmt. Hope I can keep awake. Well I am 62!

Do you fly in real life? I've tried Flight Sim but can't get on with it. However, I did have a go in a proper flight simulator at Heathrow - marvellous stuff. Not one of the top ones but a Cargo companies pilots had been tested in it in the morning. I landed all 3 times - even the harder one which required a major course change - the instructor told me to take it up. Shame my manky right eye would prevent me even trying.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who fancies something like that. It is very expensive ( circa £200 for about 60 minutes shared by 2 other people so 20 mins flying) but great fun.

Have flown in real life and I think it's easier than Flight Sim, except if you make a mistake in Flight Sim you walk away alive..........
