Why has there never been a computer game as good as....

i had the cookbook for the amiga, it was called koobs cookbook

dont really want to tell people what was on it like if ya kna what i mean

goldeneye was the finest console FPS made (until halo, anyway... ) but it wasnt genre defining - the pc had 'defined' the fps long before - and if we are looking for greatest ever FPS it has to be half life...

so maybe it defined console fps / multiplayer goodness... but no more

aye that was it, it was totally mint, think it told u how to make b*mbs aswell, or claimed to anyway

i had that.

me n a m8 did actually make one of the aerosol pipebombs... nearly fuckin killed ourselves in the process mind...

on the speccy :

Jetsetwilly
Manicminer
Match Day
Spyhunter
elite (yes Pike it was groundbreaking, lovely line drawing 3d shapes mmmmmmm lol)
All the DIZZY adventures.
someone Daleys Decathlon ... oh how my fingers used to hurt
Yie Ar Kung Fu (streetfighter of the speccy age!!!! absolutely mint)
JetPac
oooh and ghostbusters!!!!!!


on the amiga did anybody ever get sick of swapping disks when playing streetfighter????
there was also Goal, sensible soccer which were always gonna be the best footy games ever.

hahahahaha class

it told you how to make all sorts of dodgy shit, ie. how to get high from banana skins, pipe bombs, rippin off fruit machines, home made LSD... not a bad thing when your an impressionable 14 year old!

pain in the arse those disk swappin shennanigans!

still not as bad as havin to load a tape for 5mins, then turnin it over for another 5mins.. then not even fuckin loading..... how fuckin anoyin did that used to be?:evil:

on the old 48k, some games had different levels on different parts of the tape - and it gave u 'tape counter' positions for each level, i.e. 67 - level 2, 101 - level 3. i was fooked when my old tape player bust and i bought another cheapo one that didn't have a counter!!

Ahhh Getting 'Your Sinclair' every month, getting the 'Pokes' off the tape or spend an hour typing them in - only to load your game and it didn't work. So u'd naff off outside and pull wheelies on your 'Rayleigh Burner' BMX (The Blue and Yellow one with 'Mag' wheels' - after u took the pads off, obviously - they weren't cool)

Monkey Island! All 1245 disks worth!

Kick Off was gud too. As was Player Manager! Anco United ruled!

Daley Thompson Decathlon man Fizz!

PGA Golf on the Mega-drive was the first mint golf game IMO

aye, had a burner, blue and white with mags... got fuckin nicked, i was gutted!:evil: :evil:

monkey island was one of my favourite games, a classic in my opinion

but my favourite of all time has to be sensible soccer, there is not one football game in the world as good as that one

Couldn't agree more, such a game!

Was halfway through OoT - Master Quest before the telly blew up

Sorry but these games really where just that "GAMES" compared to the game of games ELITE.

FUR AND SKINS brought the best legal tender.

Elite (amiga version) was ace, but my saves disk corrupted and i never really got back into it after having lost so much progress.

if you yearn more some modern day elite style action, go get a game called 'freelancer' ( http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/ ) ... it's a hell of a game, and the nearest ive found to getting the sense of freedom you had in elite.
