JG400 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Whats the one game that actually lived upto the hype for you , that game that when you first saw it made you think wow that is going to be awesome and when you got it , it was For me I'm going a long way back ... Secret Weapons fo the Luftwaffe Lucas Arts 1991 , when I saw the game in the magazines it just looked so good and I still remember picking the box up the day it was available from First Byte in Main Centre and boy did it live up to the hype the game was brilliant on so many levels , gobsmacked that it has never been re-made And of course if you want to list the game that was the exact opposite then why not, trouble is there are so many ?

Nowt like waiting for ages for the game to load....that feeling of euphoria as it actually does and you dont get some error. Playing the game and the excitement as you wait for a bloody door to be drawn on screen. No going online to find out how you get through Mirkwood, you have to wait for the hints and tips section in ZX Spectrum monthly or whatever it was called.

Sith Happens Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I dont think ive spent as much time playing a game as this on my Acorn Electron. Crap Graphics but a great game that I was so excited to get one Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Fortnite I play it to share something with the lad but it is a great game. I tend to use topographical knowledge, stealth and cowardice to make up for slow reflexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Emlyn Hughes International Soccer. What a Christmas day that was! Monkey Island 2. All those discs made it even more special. GTA 3 hadn't played games much for a few years before getting this. Mindblowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I quite liked Frogger back in the day. Jumping from croc to croc... or were they alligators? Screen 3 was a bit too fast for me though, but oh, what fun. #staycooldaddio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Just 100% completed Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Possibly my proudest achievement in life so far. totally lives up to the hype. I bloody love Zelda games. I think my 10 year old daughter is starting to discover boys though. I keep catching her playing it, and dressing Link in just his pants.

TigerTedd Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 There was a great game called... it might have been into the darkness??? On the game cube. it was fantastic, and the best bit I’d that your character starts going slowly mad. And the game would do weird things to think you were also going mad, like it would just randomly start you from 3 rooms previous, or your characters head would explode for know reason and then you’d start from a few rooms back, or the screen would just fade to black, or you’d get an error message pop up. It was a great game in its own right, but i loved the way it broke the fourth wall like that. It was genuinely affective to give you the creeps. Edit: eternal darkness: sanity’s requiem, that was the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
