PS3 release put back!

PC vs console ... its like C64 vs Spectrum or Atari ST vs Amiga. Ah, those were the days.

 

C64 vs Amstrad 464

 

My mate had a Atari ST, he turned out gay...


Make of that what you will.


Vive la Amiga 1200!

 

Damn right.

I had both ... and the later Spectrum models were Amstrads in disguise.

 

i used to buy Amstrad Action, was a quality mag tbh

 

nostalgia

I still have a few somewhere. Staying on the Amstrad CPC464 theme, do you remember Roland on the Ropes ? Came in the bundle with the original release of the 464. Now that was a surprisingly entertaining game.

 

Was there a PC Action? Used to have 5 1/4" cover disks.

 

old skool

 

yeah i had roland on the ropes although i can't remember any details of the game...

/edit

 

I had one of these before my Amiga 600 then progressed to an Amiga 1200 with memory pack, GFX pack, HDD and workbench 3.2...

 

i had this one as well!! was ****ing annoying to play!!!

roland in the caves!!!

 

this was one of my favourites tbh....

IKARI WARRIORS



me and my brother used to team up

 

Aye, the Roland games came together in the bundle. I always remember the monitor weighing a ton too ... not a bad package really though. It was a decent machine and came with all the equipment required to get started, without your mum getting annoyed that you were constantly using her TV to play games that made 'beep' and 'boop' noises all afternoon. There wasnt really a huge difference between the C64 and the 464 (despite what the fanboys said) and its fair to say that the Spectrum was always the poor cousin, though still not a bad unit in its own right. And Des ... I dont think I ever met anyone who owned an MSX ! Ikari Warriors is a classic.

 

BMX Simulator !



And for rarity ... Revenge of the C5 !

 

Rick Dangerous.

 

Grand Prix Simulator 2, Codemasters have made some cracking games.



And do you remember Daley Thompsons Decathalon ? The joystick breaker !

 

Im not old enough to know about them

 

Did you know that the wii will be letting you download older games from different consoles to play on the tv from their site, like c64, spectrum, VC, nes , snes, n64, sega genesis, turbogfx16, camecube......

 

Quickshot joysticks, microswitched hell.
