Renton 17759 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Alex Kidd was gay: FACT. And hockey games are for homs: FACT. 70607[/snapback] I never said Alex Kidd was anything but camper than a field of tents. As for the hockey comment, take it back. It's the season to show goodwill to others. 70610[/snapback] OK, I'm sorry, I take it back as it's Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic hours of fun 70611[/snapback] Rainbow islands was the sequel to Bubble Bobble, which was one of the greatest arcade games of all time, imo probably the greatest of all. But tbh I don't think the crappy 8-bit computers of the time could do these games justice - Bubble Bobble on the Spectrum was shit. Best game ever on the Spectrum, and the most amazing use of memory in history, has to be Rebel Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BastianSchweinsteiger 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I remember the days of FIFA 97 on the mega drive, where you could only play matches indoor and the graphics were so obviously shite to that of FIFA 2006, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I had FIFA 97 - you could play games outdoors as well. Anyone remember a game called Dynamite Heady? It was great but really hard (I swear games these days are easier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckypierre 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Yes feeling nostalgic now! over the years we bought our son an atari 2600....remember that tennis game? and pacman? Drove me nuts and as for space invaders the sound of those little feet geting faster and faster must have been bad for my heart Next a sega mega drive, have loads of games for that, best being the sonics, toe jam and earls, road rash 1 and 2, micro machines! wont list them all as we have loads. Then onto a saturn, that was a flop wasnt it? shame though as it really was a lovely machine. Probably best games we have for that are sega rally, daytona and sim city. Amidst all this we bought a game boy, i always thought that was rubbish, bloody tetris ARGHH!!!!! Then onto a playstation and then a PS2....oh and a C64, which included such classic games as Gribbleys day out and pit stop We still have all these consoles and EVERY game we ever bought, i would throw some of it away, but my son hangs on to it all for posterity!!! 70597[/snapback] it was over here but was still a big success in Japan. The best console for shooters and seeing as the genre is now pretty much dead it wont be beat. Radiant Silvergun, Battle Garegga, Soukygurentai, Donpachi. Panzer Dragoon Saga came out late in its life and while its one of the best RPGs ever it was ignored by most. It now goes for around £100 on ebay. Sega Rally is a great conversion and miles better than the DC one. Im more than happy with my two Saturns.

luckypierre 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 eeee just seen your mention of rebel star Renton. Loved Laser squad meself and what about Lords of Chaos? Did you knwo they've made a rebelstar for the GBA? Im sure it still Julian Gollop who's done it.

Rebel Star 2 player was simply amazing though, the most perfectly balanced game ever. And the detail! How the hell did they fit it into 48K? I remember using Captain Kreenon to kill "Mike" with a lawn mower! Coffe machines increased endurance, but you needed coffee tokens. The moonbase was also huge with loads of individual people, robots and weapons....... I played it on an emulator recently and still enjoyed it, even though I got my arse kicked. As for the DS, I very much hope and expect there will be on in my stocking with a copy of Advanced wars DS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34436 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 The main thing I'll take away from this thread is the knowledge that Renton must have been one of the spottiest, specciest teenagers since time began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
