  1. I was born in 71 so as a kid games were hand held / tabletop LED,VFD and LCD but my first console in the early 80`s was a good old Atari 2600 woody 6-switch so that is my vote.
  2. For something a little different from all the arcade action stuff look out for Stupid Invaders which is more or less a point and click ?
  3. It was between the original and number 3 which seems a little cliché I know but In the end I voted for SMB3 and the results showed I have brought these two titles level in the poll. I can fully understand this as I had to think for several minutes before deciding between them.
  4. Phoenix , Astro Blaster (ARCADE) and Yie Ar Kung-Fu (C64)
  5. I have always played games on older systems through the years regardless of what I have owned at the time but I almost completely gave up with modern games during the PS3 era, once a game of interest did actually appear they often seemed infuriating to play and it simply was not what I would call fun. So I U-turned to look at systems and games I had never owned or simply missed and this has been one of the best decisions I ever made, exploring old systems and games unfamiliar to me is far more interesting than trying to find or having to wait for a half decent game to arrive on modern gen. I still do purchase the odd FPS game of interest on steam when they appear for a good price like Doom or Farcry 4 but I consider my self 95% retro .
  6. A few do sort of change every so often but currently- Burger Time Venture Dreadnaught Factor River Raid Night Stalker Scooby Do`s Maze Chase Shark! Shark! AD&D TOT AD&D CM Swords and Serpents
  7. Still playing Missile Command ,not only a good port but actually better than I remember it to be.
  8. Combat Warlords Outlaw Millipede Adventure Ms.Pacman Haunted House Escape From The Mindmaster Sky Diver Skiing
  9. As with most of us there are many things but for me I miss the VFD,LED handheld / tabletops like Galaxy Invader 1000 , Astro Wars and Missile Invader and I had an L.C.D mini munchman (Epochman)
  10. I am leaning towards a racing game as there is not enough , Pole Position for the 5200 is okay but perhaps something could be ported like P.Position II, Sprint/Championship Sprint, or something in the style of Outrun or Victory Run
  11. It would be when I got my VCS in the very early 80`s,It had such an impact on me that I have always had a thing for both the VCS and Atari since. I liked most Atari arcade games that I saw in the arcades especially Battle Zone ,Paper Boy and X-Y bots but my interest in the home 8-bit computers came much later and mostly through emulation as I did not encounter them much where I live in the UK., The ST is the only model I am not too keen on.
  12. Kangaroo , I think this game gets much more bad flak than it deserves.
  13. The heavy sixer then the Jr , I quite like the Jr from Atari Ireland with the black metal horizontal strip on the top cover instead of the regular shiny one.
  14. 1. Raiden 2. Trevor .McFur 3.Cybermorph 4. Humans...er sorry I mean Dino Dudes 309
  15. 143 Clearly the cheapest packaging option is not the best for such precious goods.

  17. Yes to both of those ,I hate Kaboom!...never liked it or any other game where you have to stop fast falling objects hitting the floor. (Astrosmash style). In this case an Activision game that looked good but did not play well.
  18. E.T and Fathom ,I enjoyed my time playing both of them. 53
  19. I have a short attention span so there will be no long duration me thinks, rough estimates are- (Atari2600) -Jr Pacman - 7min BerzerkWho (Homebrew) - 20min Venture - 12min (C64) Scramble (2105 Homebrew) - 8min (Arcade) Scramble , Astro Fighter , Nostradamus - 8min each (Vic 20) Cosmic Firebirds ,Cloud Burst and around a hundred other titles. - 3min each (Intellivision) Venture - 8min (Coleco) Venture - 5min (Game Gear) - Wizard Pinball 10min
  20. That is a pretty good run though you should be proud.
  21. Rygar on the Nes is a completely different game but it was not that bad,I did not mind it was not an arcade port but a new game in its own right.The Lynx version is okay but a little sparse and clunky but I agree with doctorclu and do think this could be one of the better games on the Lynx.. Out of the other 8-bit and other computer versions I have enjoyed unsurprisingly Argus no Sensji (Rygar-JPN) on the Sharp X68000 is the best and almost arcade perfect,in fact it could be.
  22. Jr Pacman , BerzerkWho (Homebrew),Venture
  23. Or you could just play it normally and enjoy it
  24. I prefer the colour palette and graphics on the Master System but the Nes version seems to play a lot better which makes the difference for me so I grudgingly vote NES
