Which games would you like to see in 2015?
BSA Starfire replied to retroillucid's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
Would be great to see a Star Raiders type game, perhaps an version of phaser patrol. CV would be great for that type of game with the keypad and all. -
How do/did you feel about "Atarisoft"?
BSA Starfire replied to segasaturn's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
I've played quite a few on the Vic 20 and on the whole they are very good, not sure on the enormous boxes tho! Defender, dig dug and donkey kong are all solid conversions tho, well worth a play or 10. Centipede is a good 'un too. -
Colecovision turbo, what a little gem

-
I'm in! Great little game this one, thanks for setting this up buddy

You sir are a knob of monumental size and scope. At what point did the Amiga fail? It was king of the hill from 1987 till the mid 90's. Really I despair of rubbish like this. tosser.

What a wonderful home! Great stuff -
Ram-pack wobble on the ZX81, one touch and programme is gone, official Sinclair solution was Blu-tac! How far we have come, but never again will we have a mainstream computer for £49!!! Mastertronic 1.99 games, sold in newsagents and petrol stations, truly pocket money prices, great stuff. I have almost all of the Vic-20 games they released. Computer magazines worth reading, Crash!, Zzap! 64, Popular computing weekly, Personal computer news. Variety, how many systems were out there? now it's a one horse show.

I remember playing this game a lot on Acorn Electron in the 80's was a very fun and unique game, must install an emulator and have a play on this version. Great to see some of the old more obscure games being converted from mostly forgotten machines! Best regards, Chris

Centipede, Donkey Kong, Pac-man or Something Else
BSA Starfire replied to cvga's topic in Classic Console Discussion
got to be Pac-man seem to have a version for every system i have, Centipede has to be a close second. -
When did the PC market get "stupid"?
BSA Starfire replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
All of these supposedly "stupid" things have paved the way for computers to become what they are today, sure some technologies became dead ends, but all have driven us forward one way or another. I for one would not like to go back to 486 CPU's, in order execution, ISA or any of that. Even netburst that you seem to deride so much much brought us forward, quad pumped FSB, Hyper-threading,vastly improved branch predictors and learning about the effects of electromigration, at very high clock speeds. none of these were a waste of time, it's all a learning curve. I hope the manufacturers be it CPU or GPU continue to strongly compete, stagnation is worse than the occasional failure. -

Gameboy games for old CPU's and video cards.
BSA Starfire replied to BSA Starfire's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Hi all, thanks for all the replies, i got hit by the storm xmas eve and most of my old PC stuff is trashed now with water damage from a damaged roof. I'm not about to start that particular addiction again now after the clean up. I've had an offer on the games, but the GBC with case is still available. Best, Chris -
