KnightswoodBear Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think the question here is are you me? Well, I know that I'm me, and I think you'll find I asked first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That fucking maze level Ah f**k! That was a nightmare! Many times I had a wee rage moment at that. You think you have the right door only to come out at the start of the fucking level again! Also I never could defeat the final boss. Well, I know that I'm me, and I think you'll find I asked first I've had a check, and I'm definitely me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hidden away on my work server, I've got a Spectrum folder containing emulators and literally every game ever released for it. There's a bunch of other stuff too, like thousands of tape inlay scans, maps that people have drawn, even technical diagrams for the hardware. Y'know, should I ever feel the need to build myself a Spectrum from scratch. Slight overkill, but more convenient than having to tote the real thing around with me Scariest thing is that the entire folder takes up less than 1.5GB of space, and that's with duplicate files all over the place I still have my 128k spectrum in the attic at my Mum & Dad's! Forgot to add that when I dug it out to relive my youth I actually found a saved game from when my mate & I managed to get Halifax Town up to Division 1 in circa 1989! It still worked!

My strangest one was putting my old PS2 fifa 08 game on last month for a view, Kerlon, Bojan, Hernandez, Freddy Adu all 90+ ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Had a Barca save on this. Ronaldinho was wads of fun. Enjoy. I wonder if in 10 years we will be looking back to just now and be in awe of how bad graphics etc were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I wonder if in 10 years we will be looking back to just now and be in awe of how bad graphics etc were Not in the same way, no; I don't think so. Kids will laugh at the things like the 'uncanny valley' effect you get in games like Skyrim, and will complain that it's not in holographic projected 3D, but today's games will still be recognisable as attempts to simulate reality (albeit hyper-reality in many cases). Nobody's under any illusions about why Pac-Man looks the way it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Jesus, I forgot about Mega Games 2. You could have that and never buy another game. Think I might actually have a copy somewhere in the house Mega Games 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sensible Soccer were among the first few games we had for the mega drive. Im positive it came bundled with MG2, and the first game i played was SOR. I was a huge fan of Lillehammer '94 on the mega drive (actually still am), but everyone else either hates it, or hasn't heard of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they look ducking ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellboy1991 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I used to love Road Rash, I remember the cheat to unlock every bike. Awesome game at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 San Andreas' graphics seem to have aged worse than Vice City and GTA3, for some reason; maybe because the game itself was so much more advanced in comparison. Last GTA game I played for some reason, perhaps because I never finished it. The original Road Rash has been on my 'to play' list for over twenty years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 BFTD Vice City was sensational Yeah, that was the last one I finished. Twice. Despite technically being a better game, San Andreas felt like a disappointment in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
