AndrewOW Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 No one going for Tomb Raider then? Or is that not old enough to be classic yet? For me it is THE classic game, but I don't know if its old enough yet at 12 years old. Amazing to think I'm still playing it on my Mac at work every once in a while. If you're mentioning PS1 games, then the WipeOut series were the best racing games ever IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 No one going for Tomb Raider then? Or is that not old enough to be classic yet? Not old enough yet i'd say, but i wouldnt say it was one of the best ever games, not in a long shot For me it is THE classic game, but I don't know if its old enough yet at 12 years old. Amazing to think I'm still playing it on my Mac at work every once in a while. If you're mentioning PS1 games, then the WipeOut series were the best racing games ever IMO.

Ian R Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I remember Impossible Mission on C64. The start of the game "Another Visitor stay a while Stay forever" Outrun was cool and Emlyn Hughes soccer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Elite on any platform Pole position and Delta2 - Armalyte and Turrican on the Commodore 64. Supercars 2, Superfrog, and Flashback on the Amiga Doom, and Heretic on the PC were classics. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I thought we were talking about proper classic games like on the atari's and dragon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The start of the game "Another Visitor stay a while Stay forever" Outrun was cool and Emlyn Hughes soccer I remember getting Impossible Mission on the C64 free on a magazine. I bought Impossible Mission 2024 on the Amiga, and got the original ported in the same box. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I thought we were talking about proper classic games like on the atari's and dragon? Pitfall on the Atari 2600 Repton on the BBC am I getting close ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I thought we were talking about proper classic games like on the atari's and dragon? I'm not old enough for those systems, but i would say that going back to the snes and mega drive era would still be deemed as classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keancy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Pac-Man and Donkey Kong were the first games I ever played, then Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 No one going for Tomb Raider then? Or is that not old enough to be classic yet? It was a great game, but I imagine the age of most of us on here meant that we were huddled around a C64, Amiga, or NES... And that's the age when games were groundbreaking, usually as they had an extra colour or something... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Pitfall on the Atari 2600 Repton on the BBC am I getting close ? Thats about the area I thought we were in All those games on tapes The spectrum and c64 games that made sounds like an old school 56k modem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 c64 games that made sounds like an old school 56k modem And the weird flashing psychedelic images on screen that made your eyes bleed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 A mate of mine was one of the first to get sprites into the border of the C64. Commodore said it couldn't be done! I think the technique was first used in a commercial release for the game, Cauldron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 if you are around 30 years of age you have probably lived through every generation of console/computer brought out, its funny to think that we were alive when atari 2600s and spec 48k's were all the rage, feelin nostalgic now, the good old days - 5 mates in a room blasting on the 'latest' console game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting my first Spectrum, and my mate only had the ZX80. He was astounded at the magnificence of this futuristic machine! Oh and that keyboard. Great. Well we were only 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I remember on the C64, you couldn't copy the games on a hi-fi, so my Dad got a bit of wiring made for me so you could plug 2 tape decks into the C64 and then copy a game whilst you loaded it... That earnt me a massive collection by borrowing games for a free game of their choice, or selling them alone for 50p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Reading this thread made me want to go and set up my C64 (yup still got it, bought new!!), but then i remembered the stupid tape loading with the coloured lines, and how somethimes waiting 10mins for it to fail loading and having to start the tape all over again! They were good times though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
