My very old favourites:

grade point average took a
serious nosedive back in '87
The sequel, Chaos Strikes Back, really
separated the professionals RPG gamers
from amateurs...)

more:

Oids (Atari ST)
Boulder Dash (C64)
Ultima IV (ST, C64)
Lode Runner(ST, C64)

And the best of the lot !
Omega Race (Vic-20)
(a module game)

Anyone still playing the Last Ninja series on the C64?? Last Ninja 4 is being released soon, as a PC-variety then... can't wait

Jorden

Addenum: wonder if it does EMBM though

JoshuaBair, you may have noticed my post earlier. Those two c64 games you mentioned (Mail Order Monster and Racing Destruction Set) are the ones I was trying to remember. Just got the title all confused. They were awesome!

I want to play Racing Destruction Set again, anyone have a c64 for sale

[Wombat]

mmmm...Discs of Tron. Good call!
Spyhunter as well. Gauntlet was fun w/ 3 people and lots of quarters.

[Reverend Maynard]

Does noone remeber Darksun? That is by far one of the greatest RPG's of all time. I love how your responses to people can drastically change the game. The graphics were really very good for the time as well. And it was hard as heck to win that infernal game.

Jorden, your links about C64 stuff ****en sucked! Hey, you download 21+ mb of old tunes, and only 10% of them is really anything to listen to. And it isn't anywhere near 9000... more like 8356. Now, Vinz's however, were much better. That's what I've always been looking for, old games playable on a PC... I too have finished off Dune, and it's damn fun to play.

SidAmp is interesting though, too bad it give me artifacts (in the sound, stupid) and it doesn't have any filter.

Here's a quality site:

gotten from Vinz, but I guess this was one of the best of those links.

[Jorden]

Well Fish, that's your view on things
Am at work at the moment but when I get home I'll check how many sids I have.

Jorden.

[Jammrock]

Arcade:
Street Fighter II (come on people, you can't mention arcade and leave this out)
Shinobi
Altered Beast
Super Mario Brothers (remeber the arcade is different than the console)
Dragons Lair/Galaxy Express

Jammrock

[SteveC]

Street Fighter II on the Sega Megadrive!!! What a classy game that was.
And talking of arcade, who remembers OutRun? I can rememember the music to that now...

Fish, I got 11,901 files, from which 11,660 are SID-files... so, where did you leave the 3,000 odd files then??

Jorden.

Oh, PS: Why should Sid-Amp have a filter?? It's a plugin for WinAmp, so why not let WinAmp do all your work then??
