    Anyone remember Jetset Willy , Dizzy, and Manic Miner. I loved those games :)

    There's one for the Amstrad I could never find, well two. One where you were this Egyptian person killing monsters on a sidescrolling screen and one weird Alien thing a 3rd was this bouncing catepillar. I loved those :(

    Laser Squad was great.

    I also wasted a lot of my life playing Chuckie Egg and Rik Dangerous.

    Elite was the daddy of 8 bit gaming for me. Then on the ST it was Dungeon Keeper.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    And what about the 'classic' Atari Combat and Space Invaders ?

    Do you remember in Space Invaders, if you flicked the 'reset' switch twice, you got 2 shots at a time ? I could get through screens and screen of invaders, without losing a single life. It almost got boring !

    I think the very first game I ever played was on my friends Atari 2600 console called ADVENTURE

    So AlienRIK - how would this upscale to a 52" Plasma, and can you get an Atari 2600 - HDMI converter :rotfl: ?

    Chuckie egg is win.

    And since Rik already mentioned Elite I will not repeat that.
