Endless hours of fun.A bit of an earlier reference. What about the Dizzy games for the Spectrum? Ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ploughing through PGA Tour Golf 2 at this very moment. Then it's onto Streets Of Rage 2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 sensible soccer was brilliant especially the way they changed the names cos they didnt have permission to use them... eg Ryan Goggs!my fave from that period was sonic the hedgehog 2, i did have it on my pc a couple of years ago and for its time it still didnt look too bad today!

Two Crude Dudes was rare, beating the fuck out of a vending machine inbetween levels to get more health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my fave point and click.Another World is also a great adventure. Actually, that's probably the game that blew my mind the most, visually. It's truly cinematic.

Nev Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 There's heaps of ace old games, but I have to say that no game has gripped me like Super Mario World on the SNES.13 years, on and off, it took me to complete all 96 levels. I've never wanted to complete a game more that I did that one, albeit I need to give the first GTA another crack. I always get bored of the 5 hours or so it'll take to gain enough points on the last level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extraordinary depth for such an old game. Best game!I also love Cannon Fodder, and Risky Woods, and Chaos Engine, and Final Fight - although I don't know if that was ever a console release. I've only ever played the arcade version. Definitely something I got excited about when we went to the seaside many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got me into consoles 'cos I was always a computer head before a mate left his SNES over at my house for safe keeping. Genius game design!As an Amiga snob I was always jealous of it. Although Yo Joe! was pretty tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 The best game I played on the Amiga involved playing the character of one of 4 cocks, shooting baddies of a Pacman nature by.. well... And ending the levelby jumping into bed, where your character banged a huge-titted cartoon character.ACE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
