sjc Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 "Huggard" was the "H" in D&H Games; the other laddie was DeSalis. It's not entirely tragic that I know this - I wrote to them once to ask for review copies of games for a fanzine I was making at school. That doesn't make it any better, does it? Yeh Tony Huggard. When you played in European games De Salis was one of the players to score against you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I got a PS1 in 1997, I got ISS, Crash bandicoot, Binx 3d (shite) Rayman and gran Turismo. Crash bandicoot was played so much and caused so much stress before my dad realised for me to save my progress I needed a memory card which took another few months to get That was so much harder compared to the later ones in the series. Still remember getting my cousins SNES for a weekend at 5 and completing Super Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Kids now just wouldn't get how shite quality but incredible fun games used to be We did a night like that with a bunch of Explorer Scouts, so 13-18. Nothing newer than a PS1, so Spectrums, N64, etc. And they loved them. Doom and the original super Mario kart being particular favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 There was a Batman (And Robin?) game on the Megadrive that I vividly remember? And a fighting game that seemed to be a bit like X-Men meets Mortal Kombat. And finally, Primal Rage: That or a Ninja Mutant Turtles game for the Nintendo. ETA: Eternal Champions was what it was called! Loved that game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is possibly mine, although I recall Fruit Machine, Oh Mummy, Roland On The Ropes, Roland In The Caves and Animal, Vegetable or Mineral as well (all for the Amstrad). So one of them.

DA Baracus Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 World Cup Italia 90 on this cartridge which I think was bundled with the console. Cracking game. A classic. In fact all the Mega-Games were great. We had this one and 3 (Super Thunder Blade, Super Monaco GP and Alien Storm) but always wanted Mega-Games 2 (Streets Of Rage, Golden Axe and Revenge of Shinobi). When we eventually got it there were good times. I have the disc for the Xbox with a load of Mega Drive games on it, including all of these.

That has to be the same pack of games that I had. Included Sultan's Maze, Bridge-It and a Space Invaders-type game (Galactic Plague I'm sure it was called)?

You could have that and never buy another game. Think I might actually have a copy somewhere in the house It was exceptional. I still remember the cheat in Revenge Of Shinobi to get unlimited shurikens. That has to be the same pack of games that I had. Included Sultan's Maze, Bridge-It and a Space Invaders-type game (Galactic Plague I'm sure it was called)? Yes! I remember Sultan's Maze and Bridge-It! Don't remember Galactic Plague though. I also recall later getting Dizzy Down The Rapids, Blagger and The Great Escape (which was exceptional). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 All the Amstrad laddies in the playground used to eulogise at length on the subject of Harrier Attack. Now that you get to see all of these games on different machines, it's interesting to note how they could all be so similar in terms of hardware, yet produce wildly different output. C64 games, for example, tended to look so drab in comparison to the Speccy and CPC, but that SID sound chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
