Prince of Persia is still amazing...

 

[Swansman]

Nice. Killing time is what will keep us sane (or non-insane).

Some nice games in there. I could play Sim Farm for years if no one stops me.

I just spent £1.19 on Theme Park from good old games. I was going to buy Dungeon Keeper 1&2 and Theme Hospital for the same price but when I went to pay apparently I already owned them.

I hope I'm somewhat making up for trying to wipe out humanity on Pandemic 2 a couple of weeks ago by healing the world 1 bloaty head at a time in my hospital.

I'd forgotten all about Bubble Bobble

Paperboy! Takes me right back to some happy, simple times.

For school memories, this BBC emulator lets you pick games from the archive (Tick autoboot and the game will just start)

If you already own Theme Hospital, I recommend you to check out CorsixTH, an open-source development/continuation of the original game.

Another game "missing", a British classic:


Can probably be found elsewhere or you could download GENS, the Mega Drive emulator.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

I could do with finding 'Nitro' - old Amiga game, top down racer.

 

[Pevenseagull]

didn't we have an NSC arcade for a while?

It was mentioned when I bought it, I'll have a look at it when I get chance. Cheers.
