Mawrick 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Personally still owns a few of these machines and use them from time to time - but was wondering if there is any of you other Corrado guys out there that where Commodore guys back in the days when computing where fun :) Any fond memory's feel free to share.....:) Personally had a great day when I exchanged a 486DX2-66+vga monitor pc for a Amiga 4000+1942 Monitor :) lol....(in the days the DX2-66 still packed some "punch" in those days standards.....:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better times I'd say :) definitely better times I have to say (maybe we'r just getting old haha (77 model myself) - but can't imagine computing is same type of "fun" today......even though I'm still interested in computers and such......just seem much more fun back in the days....:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 21, 2015 I remember playing Stunt Car Racer on a friends Amiga. I guess it must have been one of the first times I ever played a game with '3D' graphics. I think it was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen. Can remember like sitting in the chair leaning left and right with every corner, and generally being way too excited about it all.

maff 10 Posted February 22, 2015 Ahh jet set willy, Dan dare, i used to set the tape player up and wait till the coloured line screen then go play over the park with my mate for 30 mins to come back and find the game had crashed! The good old days, I think I had just about every console up to the 360 slim, import dreamcast, neo geo etc but I must be getting old as I still haven't plunged for a ps4 but have just bought my lad a wii u and am now playing the first zelda on it, (remember the gold game cartridge;-)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray1965 10 Posted February 22, 2015 Had all the Commodore computers, they were the puppies dangly bits at the time. State of the art graphics for it's time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted February 22, 2015 indeed those were the good old days! Had a vic20 and an Amiga 500 with cbm colour monitor (with an Amstrad 464 in between). Traded the 500 in for a 500+ when they came out. Still got it sat on my desk but haven't started it in a few years now. Even bought the hard drive - 20mb for £350 :shock:. It was definitely an interesting time for home computing. Eventually caved in though and got full tower pc with a 486DX2-66, and its been downhill ever since.

nitsypee 0 Posted February 22, 2015 We had a Dragon 32. (Just before the company went bust and you could no longer buy the games.) Played loads of great games on a mate's Electron though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edd 0 Posted February 22, 2015 I've still got a dragon 32 in the loft somewhere. Don't think it ever actually worked though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 22, 2015 still got my amiga under my bed, don't think anything bar the ps1 has impressed me as much the first time I saw it in action, that includes the ps4. Speedball 2, lemmings, shadow of the beast, and all those amazing demos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted February 23, 2015 Had both a 500 and 1200 Amiga. Remember Eye of the Beholder and The Bards Tale and innumerable other games. Desert Island Dizzy was another favourite. Probably the most addictive thing was the original Lemmings. The urge to finish a level before going to bed, then when it was complete just have a wee quick look at the next level and so forth till the sun coming up and the birds starting to sing reminded you a couple of hours kip would be a good idea.

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted February 23, 2015 i had a C64 and an amiga 500 - the latter of which is in my parents loft along with boxes of hundreds of games! i thinkn about setting it up now & then but think my old quickshot joysticks are broken & im unsure where to get a replacement (maybe i could just swap the microswitch like we used to lol) IIRC the C64 came with Zaxxon which was a very erly shoot em up agree Lemmings was superb Wullie! i had a christmas special version where they were all wearing little santa outfits & the background was all fairy lights & snowmen etc personal amiga favourite/s were: super cars 2 mega-lo-mania monkey island 1 & 2 damn it im gona have to go up in the parents loft very soon!
