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. We went to that in Nottingham before it moved to Sheffield - was a good day out if you're a gamer of a certain age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 So many over the years and of course our expectations have changes with the leaps and bounds of technology and our own maturing. Funnily enough hype has changed as well. Early days it was previews in mags. No internet then. Almost every game was something ground breaking and spectacular. Then came PCs and internet, games were hyped really aggressively and were often a disappointment. Maybe its an age thing but the hype seems a lot less these days, I dont do Twitter of Facebook so maybe miss seeing it but Steam supplies most of my games news. For record memorable games to me over time: ZX81 Chess Spectrum: Jetpac, Donkey Kong, Brick shooters Dragon: ?Space flight simulator, ?F1 manager. Atari ST: Anything by Micropose PCs: Elite, F16, X-wing series, Quake, Doom, Mafia, C&C Latest: MSFS 2020 Steam says I have 238 games--GULP need to get out more!

I've just seen it reopened this past weekend. I was in Sheffield a couple of weeks ago and it looked a big gloomy on the outside. I might go this weekend now it's open again.

It's good fun for a couple of hours. It's literally just a room full of geeks playing old games on old consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 For me, I think the Christmas that I got the PS2 with GTA3 is probably up there with most hyped I've been for a game. Mass Effect 1, played the demo and the moment you see the Normandy dock was just beautiful. Booked the week off work on the release day only to find it had been delayed by a week - gutted. I'd also say I was pretty hyped about Bioshock, the intro was just amazing but never really got in to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I'd agree about Mass Effect 1 (maybe 2, but maybe not, definitely not 3) and before that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (even though I don't like Star Wars)- Bioware RPGs at their peak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Manic Miner was groundbreaking on the ZX Spectrum as a platform game then games like Atic Atac in terms of their gameplaying size and then progressions like Sabre Wulf then 3D games such as Knight Lore were the next big thing.

Sabre Wulf was tremendous game. Never managed to complete it as a kid but have done on pc remake. Not sure if they were more generous with extra lives.

ariotofmyown Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Slightly off topic but did anyone play Cadaver on Amiga. Think it was by Bitmap Brothers. Sort of platform/rpg game. Was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 FIFA 20. Oh wait... Probably GTA: San Andreas. The hype was massive following GTA 3 and Vice City and it smashed it out the park. Pretty much all anyone played for about 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
