[bigmouk]

I still say the most ground breaking game at the time (c64) must have been 'The Last Ninja'.

Also, 'Way of the Exploding Fist' & 'Leaderboard' got played to death !

Psycho Fox Master System. Pure genius, greatest platformer ever made. I still have it and still play it often. So gutted that the 3D "revolution" has killed the 2D platformer, I haven't seen a 3D platformer thats beaten a really good 2D one.

NHLPA Hockey 93 Mega Drive. Not EA Hockey or NHLPA 94, 95 etc, it HAS to be 93! Still not been bettered in my opinion and I still play it often, probably the one game I could actually call my favourite of all time.

Quackshot Mega Drive. Second favourite, bit short but the graphics still look great today and its just so so good.

Alien Brigade Atari 7800. One of my first games (I had a 7800 for years before I upgraded to a Master System) and still holds up today, even if my gun fires slightly off to the left

Xevious Atari 7800. Favourite game for the 7800 era, bloody hard but great fun.

Does anyone remember a video game system called SAM. Think it was around 1988 ish, it was supposed to wipe the floor with the speccy and c64. I had one on order but it got chopped and never came out.

You mean the Sam Coupe? http://home.earthlink.net/~simoncooke/samcoupe/

 

[bigmouk]

What ever happened to it ?

I can't remember to be honest. I remember all the hype that surrounded it, but then it sort of slipped out in limited numbers and disappeared.

I've still got my old Colecovision in the loft. Now that was quality. Best graphics for the time, some games were arcade perfect. Shame the carts cost so much.

 

[bigmouk]

I was gutted as i remember. Just before xmas when i was told it wasnt coming out so i tried to get a c64 and everywhere was sold out, ended up with a 128k speccy instead. Only a few years after that when the atari st + amiga came on the scene.

I remember paying £80 for a 512k upgrade and 16 chips had to be soldered to the board !

Rehashed thread!

Just been trawling through some of the really old s**t on Underdogs, like this.....

Can you believe that text-only games were cutting edge in their day? If they can move on so much in two and a half decades, just think what software will be like in another 25 years?
