    Tuskar! C64


    I remember thinking it looked like a film! (although listening now the music is actually really great even now)


    I also remember being really impressed by the Robocop game when it actually said "Robocop" - though Robocop was made of paper and the game was pretty much impossible..

    Was it Carentan?
    Assuming memory serves me right, and Carentan was one of the multiplayer maps in COD1/UO, I may be getting it mixed up with CoD2

    As regards games I will always remember... WWE Smackdown - Shut Your Mouth is definitely one - it was so much fun to abuse the glitch that let you climb on invisible platforms and drop down from the ceiling on people :D That, and all the fun of going backstage to the kitchen and hitting people with a shovel :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    I spent a fortune in the local chipper playing Ghosts and Goblins, Ghosts and Ghouls, Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros, Street Fighter 1 and 2, Bomb Jack and R Type (brilliant game).

    I used to be brilliant at this game where you had a top down view of a little ninja guy going around throwing shuriken. He also had a little axe that he could kill enemies with. He got bonuses through hitting lanterns with his axe or these flying balls used to come down the screen and he'd get a power up from them. I'd love to know what the name of that game was. I was totally obsessed with it. I remember the levels on it vividly. There were bosses at the end of each stage.

    On the C64 i used to love Turrican 2. Totally class game. Really long, and the space ship, flying sections in the game were deadly!

    Mayhem in Monsterland. One of the best looking games on the C64, and also one of the last commercial games created for it.


    Gauntlet (when played with a friend). Such chaos and such a simple concept for a game.


    The Turrican series of game where also fantastic. Still addictive to play today.


    Games you could play over and over again for months.

    Microprose Grand Prix for the PC & Amiga

    Based on the 1991 F1 season and came on 3 3.5" diskettes.

    You had to manually enter all the teams and drivers names of the 1991 season. I ran it on a Dell with a 386 SX33 33MHz CPU, 4mb ram, 40mb hard drive and a 14" CRT monitor back in 1996.

    An honourable mention goes to F-ZERO (SNES) - The Race of the 26th Century!

    Happy dayz...

    I dont know if this game has been mentioned but when Tomb Raider came out first i was obsessed with it. Class game. Remember if you could get Lara turned towards the screen you could get her tits to jiggle Simpler times. Also Crash Banticoot was brill as well.

    Jebus, i used to love another world. I remember a part where you break down a wall or something to that effect and water started pouring out. The whole level slowly started to get flooded. I was so blown away by that.

    Edit: There we go, jump to the 11min mark. I was like shhiiiiiiiiiiittttt!!
