Ay Gobby you most probably bumped into me somewere along the line, This is were i use to go as well me and me old mate Neal lofts all them years ago.  

Chuckie Egg on the Speccy was brill. Aliens on the C64, Double Dragon on the Atari ST, Maio Cart on the Snes, and probably PES on the PC.

Nowadays all games are the feckin same. Updates of Doom. Same thing every time, just different guns and backgrounds.

Is that Battlefield? Great game but I much prefer the original WWII one. Still play that online sometimes.

Past: Crash Bandicoot on PS1, best game ever!
Present: fifa 12

Past: Grand Theft Auto- Vice City
Present: Heavy Rain on PS3. If you havent played it you are missing out. Should be relatively cheap now.

Present probably Saint row 3

Anyone remember the original Atari consoles?
My favourite game was the one where a square fired a smaller square at another square, which exploded into squares. State of the art they were.

Also can remember spending at least 5 weeks copying code for Speccy games out of magazines and then the flipping things wouldn't work.

Combat was a cracking game on the Atari, very basic but it was two player so you could shoot your mates, brother, sister, dad whoever.....and if you could master swerving the shot or drive into the wall and reappear on the other side of the maze !!

I had an intellivison console rather than an atari, cracking graphics for the day and a disc control rather than a joystick.

One thing I'll say is that at least the game writers were forced to be more imaginative than they are now.

Re Mortal Kombat

How did I forget that, was briliant at that game on the Snes. Street Fighter was just a button-mashing fest but with MK you had to think. And you could do fatalities and babalities! What more do you want.
Rayden Vs Lu Kang fights were the best. "Wa-daaah!"

Galaxian and Streets of Rage - only ones I was any good at  

Past - Championship manager 00/01

Present - Fifa 12

Can't believe Goldeneye or Super Mario 64 haven't been mentioned yet. Brilliant games. Really enjoy the Assassin's Creed games, haven't started the latest one yet though as I know it would interrupt my studies. Finished Batman: Arkham City which was a brilliant game. Can only play Fifa if amongst a group of friends so don't really get that much game time out of it. Probably get the most playing time out of Football Manager, think the latest one is brilliant.

Must have missed your post. Sorry?

Another vote for Mario Kart on the SNES. Anyone else remember playing the rainbow road track, especially when you'd had a few?

Quoted from James77

lol that was ace! The only way to do it was to go round reeeeally fecking slowly, but you'd still win doing that as the other player would be constantly falling off the track.

Ghost island was the best track. You could rip round that and there was a cheat jump bit in it.

past - sonic
present - got to be cod or fifa

Lego racers is also a superb game

another arcade classic now i have thought on a bit...Track and Field....they used to have it in the chippie at Top Shops which ate more than its fair share of my paper round wages.
There was a simple pleasure in seeing your name as the world record holder.

And spending about 3 hours typing out a computer programme for a crappy basic game only for it not to work because you got a comma or full stop in the wrong place.  

Ping Pong  

Bombjack

I don't like the PS3, and have never been able to get into things like Resident Evil or Call of Duty

Sensible Soccer was such a basic looking game but so addictive, spent hours and hours of my youth playing this game.

olympic soccer on the ps1

where's my tea

oh, and daley thompsons decathlon and track and field

nintendo 64.........goldeneye or perfect dark.
now.....any decent football game.
must have a special mention for some of these "retro games"  .......................food fight?....defender?.....gorf?.....asteroids?...regarding food fight ,i try and tell my kids how we played this platform game that had a fried egg and a frankfurter chasing you up flights of  stairs,or am i getting this confused with another game................................its been a long time

Got to love the old crash bandicoot? spelling

Was also mad for Track & Field !!

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God

Track and Field was ace. Having to whack intercourse out of your keyboard trying to beat your personal best or look like you was having a power male masturbation with the joystick.  

Prince of Persia !!
Bomberman for multi player
Demolition Derby on PS1

Arcade - World Cup, you used a lrge roller ball to control the players.

Spectrum, Most games on it I liked.
Mega Drive,  Toe Jam and Earl
PS1, Tomb Raider
PS2, ISS Pro Evolution Soccer
PS3, Call Of Duty

the Ishar trilogy, although I only played 2 of them
Eye of the beholder
Legend of the dragoon

Metal gear solid for the ps1 was my favourite game for years, by far the best game on PS1 imo.
Road trip adventure for the ps2 was also a great game, what wasn't to like about a game where you play as a car and go on an adventure to become the champion car in a land where only cars exist where you can race and play football?

to all you Track and Feld fans !! Great game, played it to death down meggies in the 80's.

Fave console game Silent Hill 2 on PS2. Mega disturbing  

Quoted from RoboCod

The weightlifting was the best. You used to have a good excuse as to why you were smacking intercourse out of the buttons for that one.

Always loved the 100 m sprint. The techniques used in the arcades were astounding, me and my mate settled on laying a folded hanky over the two buttons and very quickly sliding our clenched fist back and forth over the buttons. Blisters still ensued  



* Disclaimer: I realise that a sentence containing the phrases 'hanky', 'clenched fist', 'back and forth' and even 'blisters' will attract smutty innuendoes, before you lot start

Small block of wood drilled out to a template that fitted over the button set up, about 7mm thick, this minimised drag between the button gaps and increased efficiency of button activation. Sweat band wrapped around clenched fist and hey presto...World Records in the bag !!!

Past : Paradroid on the C64

Now :  Eve-online
