Stevie Boy Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Betty boo intro. That's the one, seemed cool at the time! How about IK+ the karate game Oh yes! What were the Joysticks they seemed to bring out a "have-to-have" Evolution of every other week and whoah then came the micro-switched versions..... Was it Quick-Shot, Quick-Shot Pro and so on....... think the last one i had had soooo many Auto-fire configurations and triggers.... Those were the days....

Scott Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 How about IK+ the karate game That was a top game. I absolutely loved that... almost as much as Bruce Lee on the Spectrum lol. I had a speed*something* joystick. It was absolutley amazing. A bit like the bug but it just felt better. I managed to get another one from ebay but it took a while. As i am a collector i also have the limited edition black amiga mouse lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Didn't they create lemmings?? BAN? /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif Hehe, I'm thinking of games liek Shadow of the Beast.. I remember when that was released, they were giving it scores of 9/10 for gfx but about 5/10 for gameplay! Lemmings was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that was touch sensetive. That was the biggest waste of money ever, i got it before i even got my amiga (along with street fighter 2 & zool). I couldn't wait till christmas morning and yet couldn't use the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmings was cool You've reminded me, in a roundabout way, of Bandersnatch, the infamous game that never was. It later got released as Brattacus. There was a BBC documentary about it: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1012096952890708986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep thinkin most of them were copies Sooo long ago now, my ZX Spectrum, C64 Amiga500 days seems to have merged into one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Original games were difficult to copy but copies were very very easy. Found out that the name of my joystick was the "Speedking II". I can sleep now! Edit: Thorin, turns out that your favourite and my favourite were both made by Konix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The microswitches always used to fail in all of those old sticks after a while though. Oh yes, remember how upsetting it was after spending all that pocket money and a microswitch in a particular direction failing rendering it pretty much useless! Only so much "waggling" they could take...! Ooo Errr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
