Great idea, but with most of the games they've bundled with it being crap (notable exceptions include Uridium, Winter Games and Pitstop), makes me glad I still have my original.

Needs to include California Games and the Last Ninja before I'll buy one. :nod:

[thxultra]

Rollerball for me :thumbup:

[Bobbles]

I quite liked speedball but you are right what a pile of poo



I liked Emyln Hughes International Soccer



where's Head over Heels, Wizball, Elite etc



Saying that, a few years ago I played some of my old favourites on an emulator and I have to say they were not the same as I remembered.

Zynaps



Another Hewson classic :bow: . While possibly not as good as Uridium I have actually played this on the C64, so I did appreciated the enhanced number of colours over the speccy.

Oh wow this has just made my day! FANTASTIC!!! I loved my C64 and had over 300 games ranging from flight sims to a voting game where you had to get counties to vite for you and Last Ninja to oh just about everything!!!!



The Commodore 64 is a HUGE part of my childhood and I have very fond memories of those times! Ahh the nostalgia! I'm getting misty just thinking about it!!!

[Bobbles]

yes but we are remembering them with rose coloured specs



don't forget the loading times and then the http://www.avtalk.co.uk/forum/images/smiley_icons/censored.gifer crashing at the last minute.



My first games console was an Atari passed on from my brother.



Then one Christmas when I was 7 ish I got a rubber keyed speccy. It came with Manic Miner, Harold goes Skiing, Jet pac and I loved them all.



I then progressed to a C64, Megadrive, N64 and now have an Xbox (which I very rarely play tbh)

[shodan]

I seem to remember doing tape to tape copies on my midi hi-fi (theres a joke!) stack so my mates could have the games as well! I was a 10 year old pirate!!!! :lol:

[Sgt.colon]

Uridium! What a great game that was. I also loved, Thing on a spring, Racing destruction set and Daly Thompsons decathlon.



Oh those were the days! :nod:



Oh just remember WEF as well. Classic!

[Jonas]

Daly Thompsons decathlon - I killed some many joy sticks playing that! I think I'll have to get one of these just for Uridium, great game.
