    do people remember in the computer mags in the day they would give you aload of code to type in to your pc screen and it would apparently create a very basic game, i never could get the damn things to work, use to spend hours typing those codes into the screen.

    Yes and the following month they would publish the corrections to their code and the month after that the corrections to the corrections... but by then you'd given up anyway. :D
    Ah! Good old trusty beer... I hope you never change.

    I miss the old Llamasoft games, shame there's none of those on this...

    Sheep in Space was my favourite - lost many days of my life playing that in a darkened room.

    I still have an old copy of Zzap 64! hanging around somewhere, might have to dig it out. :rolleyes:

    ooh, I remember playing this on my zx spectrum. Was it the game where the little man ran around blowing up bits to make new pathways, found treasure and stuff and it was a different type of maze each time? I have tried for ever to find this game since, but wasn't sure of the name! Any ideas where to find it?
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.
  • Manic Miner was a cool game but I'm sure I had it on the C64, anyone else know if this is still available??

    To bring back the glory days of the C64 (or the VIC-20, et al) on your PC or MAC, use VICE.

    See:
    http://www.viceteam.org/
    http://www.viceteam.org/vice_toc.html

    and also:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278022

    When you've set it up, go to the following site for lots of the old C64 games to play on your system:
    http://www.c64.com/

    PS. All the good old Jeff MInter Llamasoft games for the C64 are now freeware. Grab them from:

    http://www.medwaypvb.com/llamadloads.htm

    - and don't forget that Llamasoft are still up and running:
