Old skool games - Commodore 64/Amiga 500

[FlameR]

Just thinking about how frustrating new games and game consoles can be (i.e. black ops and host migration/connection interrupted). Got me thinking back to a simpler time, playing loads of games on my Amega 500 when I was about 10 years old! A few of my favs:

- Cannon Fodder

- Worms

- Lemmings

Feel free to add your favourites.

Now you're talking, it took me frigging ages to get from deadly to elite, played it that much that I could dock at a space station faster than the docking computer

Megablast was the dogs part, I played that on the ST and spent a good hour just listening to the sampled music from the intro the first time.

Lotus Challenge. Close.

I destroyed three joysticks playing that. The worst event was the last one - the 1,500metres. FFS - that was tough going!
