No not Frank the Tank But some Oldskool arcade gaming + Amiga/Atari ST !

Just got MAME32 & WinUAE up and running, not done so for years. So a few screenshots for you, runs perfectly and full screen too

Should work perfectly ....

 

I dont remember any of them. Too old for me

 

Hehehehe Hints of a misspent youth down the arcades on the seafront

 

Speedball 2 ruled. Brutal Duluxe!

ICECREAM!

And they have recently released a new version!

No idea if its any good though.

 

1402
gauntlet []
outrun

looks like golden axe but it aint

 

Commando.


"Red Valkyrie shot the food".

 

The second is Black Tiger <a favourite of mine>

The third is 1942

The fifth is Green Beret / Rush'n'Attack

Will get an X360 soon just to play the new Speedball well maybe GTA4 too

 

I got speedball 2 on my xbox, i still play it in retro mode, it looks better than the new 3D version, still plays awesome tho!!!

 

I love retro gaming, got spectrum games running on my DS going into 4 figures.

Have the mame & roms somewhere, can get a bit hardcore if you start collecting all the cabinet/box pictures to run in the program.

I did have the amiga emulator before but last time i tried i couldn't find all the system files for it.

That joystick reminds me of the kempston microswitch

 

Retro Gaming

Yeah, a lot of fannying around with kickstarts and the like, I gave up too.

 

Had the Amiga emulator too, and the SNES one/MEgadrive etc. they're all very good and that, but i do find that you play each game for about 2 minutes then give up and try the next one.

Personally, for retro gaming, get over to oolite at http://oolite.aegidian.org/ for an updated version of Elite, the space trading game. Now thats something that i could play for hours!

 

..Speedball 2 - ah the memories! The easiest way to win was to keep pressing up/down, depending on where you had to score, and just keep punching.. a doddle!

 

on one player?

 

..think so - although a good 15 yrs since last played..

 

Was watching full Metal Chellenge on Dave earlier andthey had agame on there that reminded me of a classic old skool game I loved way back when, and want to play it again.

Stunt Car Racer




Anyone got any idea if its possible to find a way to play it still?


EDIT:

well,I found it.

google was my firend, as is DOS box

 

stunt car racer was immense, i used to play it for hours and hours.

 

Sounds of the engine was fantastic iirc?

 

I've been playing it now for nearly a hour and a half

Oh yes! That monotone PC speaker sound is awesome.

And Flames out of the exhaust.

Someone needs o make a new version of stunt car racer. Sod the GT/F1 type racing games

 

was it on the atari st or amiga also, just seem to think i played it on one of those

 

hey, I had it on the C64 mate!

totally orange track with just black lines for the edges?

Go Geoff Crammond! the 3D legend.
