Still got PS1, Sega Satarn, Mega Drive and a Spectrum! lol
 
Remember tapper on the spectrum 48k you played as a barman serving pints in a bar quality lol
I used to set the spectrum loading before I went to school it had just about loaded by the time I got in at the end of the day lol plus the high pitched squeal of it loading didn't damage my ear drums that way lol

I love old games. Started playing on consoles since 1989, used to work on the weekends on the market selling consoles and games, basically was playing games in front of the customers. Didn't get paid for that but had an oopotunity to borrow any games I wanted, so played a lot of games.

Civilization is good, still playing civ V. Love C and C, playing Tiberium Wars. Regarding old games, love Rock and Roll Racing, Battletoads, Dune and many other gaames can't remember now.

Also playing Enemy Territory Quake Wars, awesome teamplay game.

i just stumbled upon it but it turns out long lost new levels were found and unreleased for repton so it has been made into a sequel to repton 3!

Most of you don't even know what retro gaming is... Consoles? Phah... Try the original Donkey Kong on the Game & Watch system for true retro gaming...

More modern retro gaming should always start with the Spectrum, and namely, the games from 'Ultimate Play The Game', such as Jet Pac, Sabre Wulf, Underwurlde & Knight Lore. So, so ahead of their time, and excellent games to play. Many, many more games feature from my list of Speccy games, but I'd be here to long, so I'll move along...

Next comes the C64, and you simply cannot get any better than these two:

- Paradroid
- Uridium

Awesome games, probably amongst the best for playability there's ever been.

Then, you get in to the world of stuff that's already been mentioned, Mission Impossible, Sensible Soccer & Cannon Fodder (can't believe no-one's mentioned Wizball, Sensible Software FTW!), but how about International Karate +, The Last Ninja and Spy vs Spy. There's probably a whole heap of stuff from the Amiga that should be mentioned too.

There are plenty of excellent games for consoles, but one stands out for me, the import version of Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole, an truly excellent action RPG on the Sega Megadrive.

Argghh! Now I need to go and buy a Spectrum and C64! The wife's not going to be happy...
