Various Carmen Sandiego Games

Ken's Labyrinth
Lemmings (7 different versions)

Virtua Cop 2
Wacky Wheels

Wolfenstein & Spear of Destiny
Xargon

This is not all of them. There are still more! They are mostly full versions. I downloaded most of them from an abandonware site www.the-underdogs.info . I also downloaded an emulator called DosBox because half the games don't work on Windows XP. DosBox allows me to run them properly. I also got a front end for DosBox called D-Fend. It allows me to set up profiles for each game so I only have to click the icon to run the desired program at the optimum setting through DosBox. No more typing commands into dos! I haven't included pictures because there are too many games and my internet speed is capped (I went over my 20Gb/month limit). It would take forever to upload screenshots.

I played that for ages.

Likewise. That game was so addictive. I occasionally still play it. Do you have the full version, or is that the 5 minute demo (that really goes for 3.5 minutes)?

GRAND PRIX! Absolutely worshipped this game. The mother of all F1 simulations. So many years playing this, so many memories. In fact, Im going to re-install it now! Go Robert Davies!

FirstFord · 26-05-2006, 08:52 PM

Sorry no screen captures, but fond memories of my Atari 2600, I used to get up at 5am so i could play on it before school (late 1982 or there abouts). Used to play Grand Prix at night school in the caff. I also remember playing something like space invaders on one of the original Apples back in 1980, green screen and all. And showing my age, we had a "TV Game" back around 1978 - Tennis, and several different version (very much like "Pong").

Now play a lot of the early 80's arcade stuff using mame. No need to line up 20c pieces. Still crap at most of the games though.

26-05-2006, 09:20 PM

any1 into the amstrad console. or any other older console, try using a Emulator, roms are free, (I think I have them all) I have installed but dont use it much now, Caprice (Amstrad Emu) I loved sorcery+ hours and hours and hours spent on it..

The only other game I spent as much time on was Atari's, Pit Fall, and River Raid.

The only classic machines I paid for (for nastalga reasons)
Have a fully working Tandy Model 4a. (circa 1982) $$$
Comodore 64 (with Disk + Tape drive) (circa 1983) Free
Amstrad 6128 (circa 1985) $$$

Plus 20 other pc's.

Falcon_Phill · 27-05-2006, 12:25 AM

Flashback is one of my all time favourite games. Another World is pretty tough - hard to get used to the controls. That black beast in the background chases you through most of the game....this one used to give me nightmares.

I have owned just about every console. Still play a lot of old games. just started playing final fantasy 7 again. love my old games. Played bubble bobble just last night at the cinemas.

The best way to enjoy the old games now is to download the emulators and the roms. Check out this site:-

http://www.rom-world.com

It has an emulator and roms for just about everything - works for PC's and Macs aswell. Game on.

Got the full version with all 4 tables, Partyland, Stones N Bones, Million Dollar Gameshow and the car one which is so crap I cant even remember what its called.

big_pete · 27-05-2006, 05:16 PM

the sad thing is, that these games are twice as fun as any new game out!

From memory it is always in the background chasing you but correct me if i'm wrong.

Gammaboy · 27-05-2006, 06:43 PM

Yeah, its always in the background...

I used to have the demo which was only Party Land. It had an infinite number of balls, but had a time limit of about 3.5 minutes (despite it saying it was a 5 minute demo). Now I have the full version. I agree that Speed Devils (the car one) is pretty ordinary. Party Land and Stones N Bones are my favourite tables.

F6T · 27-05-2006, 10:21 PM

It was a long time ago...but I remember it being in the background a lot of the time. never got that far through it though. the controls crapped me to tears

-jjM- · 28-05-2006, 12:33 AM

plenty more i can think of but dont want to flud thread, just some great games i remember playing and had plently of fun times playing

Two of my favourite games of all time.

Infact I recently just bought a Sega Master System II off ebay so I could play Wonder Boy and Alex The Kid.

I play the Sega more than my PS2
