Hey All,

Nothing to do with cars even I ran into this this weekend and had a ball, all the old games I used to play for hours and hours when I was a kid

Also this will help you play them, a great DOSBox with much better support for old games then the windows cmdbox has:

I wasted most of my sunday playing Another World, that game is still as great as when I first played it. They don't make many quality games like that anymore Its all doom clones now...

Mux,

another world was a great game - done by the same people who did the original prince of persia I believe.

Some of my faves from the commodore64

Boulderdash


Paradroid


Countless others like riverraid, frezy etc the list is huge. I have a c64 emulator for my Xbox and still go back to boulderdash even in this day and age.

[Mux213]

Hahaha, yeah its all great stuff man

aaw man, that brings back memories, paradroid was/is the hardest game i ever played, i spend days of my life at it on the c64 too ha ha, still have it in the attic somewhere

Paradroid!
I was busy on making my own in JavaScript (IE only):
http://www.banpei.net/paradroid/paradroid2.html (works, but does nothing)

Edit: found it! Only the second works and you can only walk with the droid. No edge detection or whatever. Just plain move the droid.

P.S. Use the numeric keys to move it.

Top C64 imho (in no perticular order);
Giana Sisters
Out Run
IK+
Last Ninja

And then the music!

For all you C64 freaks out there, you need to listen to SLAY radio! ;

I didnt have a computer when i was a kid... i got my first PC at the age of 15. I was a child of a console. Super Nintendo was it. Still have it today, jacked into my tv tuner, waiting to comfort my nostalgia outbursts.

When i was young (and that isn't that long ago ) i always played Lemmings on my cousins C64

[dreja]

I had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum + at the age of 11.

I used to play many games, some of them were:

wheelie, jet pac, fantastic voyage, match point, enduro racer, boulder dash, manic miner, jet set willie, treasure island, ...

Well, my first computer was a Philips P2000T. Great computer, little games. So my brother and I used to program stuff by ourself.
Ofcourse we had enough friends and family with ataris and c64s.
After a while my stepdad bought got a PC through his work: the first Compaq computer. A portable PC which weighted about 25kg.

Most favorite (retro) games:
Paradroid
Grandprix (c64)
Boulderdash
Last Ninja
Soldier of Fortune
Choplifter
Spyhunter
Zaxxon

Oh, those were the days.
