    Has any one played any of the c64 and speccy so called classics recently. They are actually really rubbish now. Except school daze. Any way back to the subject. I'd like to see a new gunstar heroes or axelay. Treasure just rule. Konami are making a new contra and it looks sweet. i heard a rumour that square are remaking FF7 for PS2 with brand new graphics which would be excellent. If only I knew if it was at least a rumour and i wasn't halucinatiung.

    would like to see ff7 on ps2 better graphics would do a great game justice.

    i dont know about ye guys but i dont think many of the new games compare with a lot of the old ones.

    Trusty mega drive streets of rage. classic fighting game but had a plot turn it up to ultra hard with the cheat and watch the baddies fly.

    desert storm series the new versions just dont cut it imo. they rely to much on visual aid instead of player instinct. desert storm series was as plain as you got it was dam tough in places though. cant think of any more right now maybe later

    PacMan with all the old bugs, like the level 256 bug, caused by using a single byte to store the level number.

    I was a huge fan of turrican and creatures on the c64 put turrican is absolute tosh compared to the contra series and gunstar heroes. Creatures 1 + 2 really have dated badly. I do still like new zealand story and bubble bobble.

    has anyone gone back and actually player games on old platforms, retro gaming is all the rage now and of coruse there are all sorts of emulators available online but my question is do the games live up to your memories. I remember being amazed by turrican on the c64, now don't get me wrong, I know if I went back to it now that graphically it wouldn't be great but surely good gameplay is good gameplay, good game design is good game design and in this age where graphics are king have we forgotten that playability is the one true god of the gaming world?

    Flashback, it was on the Snes and Megadrive. (And 3DO, Amiga, CD-i, Macintosh, Mega-CD, PC)

    Fade to Black is the sequal on the ps1.

    That would be Another World.

    All those games are made by the same company - Delphine Software. All have a similar style.

    There was a 15th Anniversary Edition of Another World released a few years back. It had the option of enhanced graphics and it still played really well.

    You can get it on gog.com

    Anyone who thinks Flashback is a sequel to Another World clearly hasn't played or payed attention to the plots of both games. Another World did get a sequel on the Mega CD though... don't know anything about it, must have a nosey.

    Creatures would be an excellent one as would Midnight Resistence.

    Gunstar Heroes is a bit crap and dated anyway so wouldn't push for that.

    What was that Tomb Raider 1 remake called? Was it any good? Faithful to the original?

    Oh yes. I quite enjoyed it, had a great nostalgic feeling while also looking great. Although I've also enjoyed the current batch of Tombraider games that use a similar engine.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you've written there. Every time I read it, it says Gunstar Heroes is crap. Which is obviously not what you meant as it's one of the greatest 2d shooters of all time.

    It doesn't need to be remade anyway as it's already perfect.
