    Can anyone remember the name of the game that was kind of a maze game in which the character used to find keys to unlock doors and solve puzzles. All I can remember is that whenever the character lost a life it said something like "combo".
  • thank u very much.

    Hey command

    I remember that game - it used to be one of my favourites. It was such a pain recording it though - that most of the time my bro couldn't get it to work for me. Sorry though - I cannot remember the name - wow it must have been about 22 years ago when I played it last but would love to know myself what it's called!

    It wasn't 'Dungeons and Dragons'?

    Does anybody know how I can get these games to work with a joystick? They're almost impossible to play using a keyboard.

    I have just had a look at this and the great memories are flooding back. I'm going to try these out after work- monty mole, jet set willy and manic miner.
    The only one that is missing from my best programmes is Wonderboy. Does anyone know where I can get that one from?
    There used to be an occasional Wonderboy machine in old amusement arcades but they all seem to have disappeared :( Can anyone help?
  • Why does the link have to go through google?

    Are you getting paid for clicks through your link???

    @ reeree - I'm an Atari ST boy and as such must spit at you for saying 'Amiga'! You're highly unlikely to get an emulator inside a browser like this for these computers though, they're far too complex and doing the Spectrum looks like quite an acheivement! For a normal ST emulator (ie a program installed on your computer) goto http://steem.atari.st.

    For joysticks, and if you're serious at all about playing these games again, what has been said above, download a real emulator that runs on your computer and not inside a browser. You can set up joysticks in there, save gamestates (ie just dump the whole computer's memory to load later), and do loads of great customisation. Imagine those crappy graphics fullscreen on your 19" LCD!

    @command - surely you don't mean Gauntlet?
