I cant get this thing to show the charactor [ " ] lol

oh well

wow what a great deal! :)

congrats man!

oh snap. oregon trail here you come! :thumbsup

thats awesome man! that was my jam growing up, i had so many games for that computer!

I remember some of them:

Bruce Lee
The green ninja dude was so buggy

Boulder Dash
Highly addictive and great gameplay

Spy Vs Spy
This was just devilish game, object to set traps for your opponent to fall into. Great strategy and the two sequels were pretty good too.

Forbidden Forest
A great 3D visual gameplay game.

The Way Of The Exploding Fist
Great punch em up two player karate game.

Elite
Back in the day this game was state of the art due to vector graphics and the spaceships named after snakes. Everyone thought this was the coolest thing on the planet because of the thick manual that came with it but I just never understood what the fuck it was about.

Alien
Great atmosphere. The graphics were shit but when you came across the alien youd shit yourself. Another game i could never understand what the fuck i was doing.

F-15 Strike Eagle
Amazing flight simulator... for a long time it was regarded as the best flight sim available on any computer.

Gauntlet
Popular shoot em up if i remember rightly.

Commando
Popular war game which worked well.

Bugaboo
This was a great game.... awesome graphics and some really nice gameplay and scrolling.

Chuckie Egg
Platform game.

Chiller
A game made by Mastertronic (i thought they were gods in the day).

Labyrinth
One of the first ever 3D maze games for the C64.

Little Computer People
This was fucked up.... something about feeding computer people to keep them alive. What kind of fucking game was this?

Skool Daze
This was about kids fucking the school up.

Nice!

I want me a min condition dreamcast

I had one of those ZX Spectrum's.... anybody remember them? I used to envy the com 64's owners at the time

yup I did, even used it for biz believe it or not, sold my first digitised pics for a c64

they were nice amazing soundchip but so damn small, friend of mine had one, rubber keys, still pretty good though

That's awesome. I had a vic20. Wish I had kept it!:disgust

old skool...respect, commodores rocked

yeah im on mine now..


No, they where cool though.

did you get a tape drive?

Samantha Fox's strip poker ruled.

i'm gonna get one brand new in a box, never opened to keep as an antique. i love those old school PCs (gonna get an apple IIe too). i saw a few brand new ones on ebay go for about $60.

sinclair spectrum yeah! :thumbsup

I was cleaning out my shed yesterday afternoon and threw away 3 of them.:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i recently saw at some spectrum forum there're people that STILL WRITE GAMES FOR IT

Jesus...

I still have mine from back in 83. All of the games and all of the programs I wrote! I rock...or Im a loser. Either way, Im Happy! LOL!

god the good ole days...

if the c64 is going for $1

I wonder what the VIC20 is going for?

Ah the good ole days of the commie 64...:) If you want a box full of games lmk. They just sit in the basement lol.

if you guys waxing philosophic are interested, I've got an Atari 1040 ST computer and a Mac from the first manufacturing run (I believe the serial number is <250).

Plus a crate of old games and controllers and paddles, etc. It's gathering dust in the closet.

I was going to wire up a SLIP adapter and get the mac on the network and put it in the guest room as a strange peice of computer nostalgia that house guests could actually use to check their email, I just never got around to it... Now it gathers dust in the closet.

If anyone wants either, let me know. I dont need em.

What were your favourite games people?

Remember the makers: Activision, Mastertronic and some of the best ones like US Gold.

i used to orgasm when i saw that "US Gold" logo on a game box:1orglaugh

I actually got it with an external 5 1/4" DS HD floppy drive. :thumbsup No cassette tapes for me! I'm in the space age!
