Mr_Wonderful

C-64 happy days!! Catridge in all, tape to cd, cd to tape wow my first hacking experience. If anyone has a workable c-64 and a state of the art 5 1/4" floppy drive and is interested I have 2 boxes of C-64 discs with a load of games. Give me a shout and i might pass them on oh yeah i can remember my best friend staying over one night and i think if memory serves me right it was a wrestling game we where playing. And do any remember the josticks that time constantly breaking i think it was down to the constant left to right movement of it!! Hey do't forget the Atari ST and the spectrum first time using the spectrum was ' 10 ? "My name is"
20 GOTO 10
Run
Happy Days!!

"Ah yeah...
What was it called...

Can't remember, but it invloved knife throwing (Which usually resulted in a screaming woman with a blade projecting from her stomach) high wire climbs, jumping hundred's of feet into a Tub, then a bucket, then a glass... and various other great stuff...

Was a good one, that game...
"

The Sweeper

Ah dammit to hell all I can remember is playing Gauntlet on my Spectrum and gazing wistfully at the Atari and Omega screenshots on the back of my tape cassette inlay card...
<sigh>

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

The memories...

Elite was definitely the one I played to absolute death on my Speccy for well over six months (and still only got up to a rating of Deadly).

Other memorable classics from those bygone days:

Mercenary (flying around in the paper aeroplane!)
Starquake
Tomahawk (first game I had where you had to use that damn Lenslock system)
Match Day
Trans Am
Skool Daze (the PC remake is worth checking out)
The Hobbit
All the Level 9 adventure games (swearing in Price of Magick was especially funny)
All the Gargoyle games: Tir Na Nog, Marsport, Heavy on the Magick
Zynaps
Quazatron (the Speccy's answer to Paradroid)
The Sentinel

I remember meeting Jon Ritman a few years ago at one of the ECTS shows. He was at Cranberry Source at the time, while I was at Sensible. Jon Hare ended up dragging him and his co-workers out for a few drinks and an Indian meal with our lot after the show that day. It was rather amusing :-) Nice bloke too.
