Just cant play without buttons

When I did the first post I knew I would meet negative response, and I did. But it then seemed to change, and I was surprised how many people stepped up to say the unspeakable ... that not all classics are classic. We see some of these games thrown at us in repackaged compilations for the latest con...

Should have left that alone.....

Sad to say, but the golden days of 'give me a fiver and you can have the lot' are gone. It has gone to the point of ridiculousness, when every seller seems to think that they have the God given right to charge an arm and a leg for anything that is classed as 'retro'.

I like long walks on the beach and travel.

Send me a request if you like.

Xbox live seem to have a lot of the crazier game types these days.

Wow it was a great argument, and I still love some of the posts.

So why is there nothing for the beloved ZX Spectrum ?. But what to have built in ? Manic Miner JSW Knight Lore Je...

I am so angry i don't know what to say.... but the word "assholes" keeps coming to mind!.

I've mentioned it before, but Micronaut One on the spectrum is a stunner. It got pretty good reviews at the time, but doesnt have anything like the reputation it deserves. Its very original in some respects, and probably has the most impressive vector/poly graphics of any 8 bit game. Pete Cooke was...

I also loved Kajero 2 art of deception , I think thats what it was called.
On the ps1... Stayed up a few nights with that one... It was bloody brilliant.

It wont....
I just haven't posted in a while and was feeling left out.

Its a hang on clone?

Zool 2 The first game was quite dreadful but Zool 2 got everything right. It's an incredibly playable and skillful platformer (which I recently re-discovered), by far the best the Amiga ever saw where all out arcade gameplay is concerned. It's criminally overlooked yet it stands head & shoulders ab...
