The Sony MSX is a much nicer computer than the Toshiba. You need to try Kings Valley 2 on MSX 2 more…

Nice Vectrex overview! I've only had a couple of opportunities to play a real live Vectrex, and really enjoyed the experience (except for the 3D goggles - made me feel sick and left a nice black smudge on my head!) I would really love to own one of these machines, as you said: completely unique.

My best mate bought me one for my birthd more…

I've seen the LCD game a couple more times on Ebay since I got mine... It doesn't seem to be that pricey generally. more…

I remember playing stuff like that at school (though Granny's Garden and L: A Mathemagical Adventure are my strongest memories) but the best place to find these games is at Stairway to Hell - www.stairwaytohell.com - an archive of all Beeb games... more…

Yeah, I remember Danger UXB and always thought it was an original Beeb game, until fairly recently when I found it is a clone of an obscure arcade game called Checkman... more…

Hi! We didn't have a BBC computer game at home, but in my 1st year of school in 1994 we had them with a lot of educational games. Have you heard of or even got any samples of these games "Pip goes to the Moon" "Funfair" with various things like an assault course, etc? more…

hi there, enjoyed reading the posts, especially the one about the jamma cab makeover.

Love retro games myself and am currently replaying some c64 classics (IO is as hard as I remember and green beret is unbearable).

Cheers for now... more…

Picked up Typing Of The Dead last week, I was quite suprised at some of the words/phrases that popped up, Hand Shandy and I'm sure Douche Bag or Douche something popped up as well. more…

It certainly helped me pass the time! We used to have arcades in most UK airports that occasionally had some older games, but they seem to have shut them all down now... :( more…
