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. That was a great game that my wife banned one of our sons from playing because she thought it was to weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Elite on the BBC Micro. An amazing game and raised the bar for 8-bit home micro programming. How they got that in 32k I will never know (less actually as the graphics grabbed some of the memory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Worms. I used to love the original Sim City as well, on the SNES, and it frustrates me that there hasn’t been a decent port of that onto phones. I’d desire my pay money for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they got that in 32k I will never know (less actually as the graphics grabbed some of the memory). I think the same can be said about lots of those games in the 80's. Stuff like Daley Thompsons Decathlon, which was basically track and field from the arcades, and so on. How they got them to work was amazing. One of my faves was 3d starfighter which was really the star wars arcade game. those programmers really earned their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4derby Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. What a masterpiece. If you like open world games, this is one of the best. If you like Zelda games, this is the best. It crams so much into the game, and yet still has so much more to offer. It's a massive map, yet you encounter so much. The storylines are great, the characters are well done and the mechanics just work. The Switch is worth buying for this game alone. And I think the Switch is great anyway, but this game is fantastic.

All those discs made it even more special. GTA 3 hadn't played games much for a few years before getting this. Mindblowing.

Yep the 12 discs of Monkey Island 2 is one of my all time favorites. I've recently downloaded both Monkey Islands on my laptop for my son to play and he loves it. All the GTA's have been amazing - even GTA1 was brilliant. And Sensible Soccer is still far superior to any of the fifas. We went to the National Video Game Museum in Sheffield just before Lockdown - well worth a visit. Seeing an Amiga 1200 on display in a cabinet on top of it's original box took me right back to 'that' Christmas morning and made me want to go and hug my mum for the best Christmas present I ever had.
