Stuff that makes you feel old...

[wub]

And also those old amstrad games that were on tapes!

Lost a lot of time to the Dizzy games in my youth. Had to do them in one sitting too as there was no save function

My first ever console was a zx spectrum.
It had a tape recorder connected with rca cables and used std cassette tapes to load the games.
You typed in a load command and pushed play in the tape recorder.
It screeched to high heaven while you waited for the game to load.

I used to leave post-it notes on my Megadrive and Amiga telling my Mum not to turn them off to get around this... pause, TV off, post-it on.... tantrum if my game's disappeared by the time I get back!

Normally, it was:

Mindmaze

Ohhh, hold tight trivia crew... I used to love that!

did anyone play Z the strategy game? only strategy game I have ever played, was pretty humorous too - think was about 95/ 96

Tomb Raider was just after my time... my only abiding memory of it was being at a mate's house party and a couple of my friends bursting into his little brother's bedroom where they found him wanking to the intro sequence.

all about that game mode where you can become one of your minions - used to absolutely rinse that, always surprising how good some of them could fight when you were in control

^ Yes! For me as a kid, this game was the definition of frustration

Transport Tycoon





Fuck I love this game!

Every side-scrolling platform game I see makes me want to play:

Didn't they try and do an updated version of Pitfall for the SNES or PS1 and it was shit?

Anyone remember this gem?

I remember when racism was still acceptable on children's TV. I remember watching Play Days and someone asking, "what do doves say?" and some puppet answered back, "look-at-the-coons-look-at-the-coons-look-at-the-coons".

Anyway, I miss the smell of good old 4 Star petrol



Mostly what really makes me feel old is this forum though. Some of the things the majority of you say... well it goes totally over my head. When you're no longer in touch and down with the kids' new words, crazes and stuff - you know you're old. I still have no real idea who Rebecca Black is

Great game.
