Old Computer Games

[Rusty Brookes]

The MAME Emulator is great:

At the moment I've got Galaga, Moon Patrol, 1942, Exciting Hour Wrestling (Sensational Game) and Space Invaders on my PC.

Of course I own all these machines-I would never dream of breaking copyright

Vic 20
- Omega Race: Very addictive game, and pretty good for a machine with 3.5k RAM!!

C64
- Monty on the Run: Awesome platform game with great music (Rob Hubbard, I think)
- Bruce Lee: Crap graphics but a lot of fun
- One on One: Dr Julius Erving vs Larry Bird

Amiga
- Speedball 2: Just too much fun!
- Cannon Fodder: Frustrating at times, but when you clear one of those tough levels it is very satisfying.

Arcade
- Exciting Hour: Great wrestling game, which was pretty easy to master once you learned how to beat Coco Savage. I could play it for hours on just 20cents.
- Ghosts and Goblins: Probably the best platform game of all time.

Pornstar,

Coco Savage was pretty hard but I also had trouble with Blues Bloody (a homage to the great Bruiser Brody). I know with Coco you had to use the shoulder block a lot before doing the Swanton Bomb off the top rope.

Loved Ghosts and Goblins too.

One of my other all time faves was Golden Axe

Swanton Bomb?

Didn't know it was called that.

Speaking of TVSBB, did you know you could hack into the code and reassign your players abilities?

When you create a player you have a certain amount of points that have to be assigned across a number of skill types. It stores these within the code. A bit of mucking around with the appropriate editor and you can create an awesome player.

Frogger was tops!
