Favourite Spectrum/C64/Amstrad games

Quality thread, I have a commodore 64 and without a doubt my fave games were the 'Dizzy' series, the wee puzzle solving egg that wore the boxing gloves.

Loved Paper Boy, Chucky Egg, Boulderdash, Commando and hundreds of other games I've forgotten about.

The mad thing about games back in the day was you couldn't save them, so you played until you lost all your lives then had to start right back at the start again and do everything over. Never got boring though.
 
Again, the digitised speech on Treasure Island Dizzy ("Tvvvza Ilnnnd Dzzzzy") always did it for me.

When I was an absolute bastard (a bit like you, Spadey) I used to repeat my girlfriend's words back to her in the style of said sample whenever I upset her (which was often).

Cruel enough, but then I got my mates to do it too...

If we're gonna go all 16 bit I've got nostalgia for that era stored up like a smackhead's faeces.

LEMMINGS ONLINE

This game takes over your brain. You become attuned to the rhythms of the bridge makers and the swinging of the blockers' heads. When you send one brave lemming ahead on a solo mission to build complex bridges you place all your hopes and dreams in that tiny pixelated frame and feel genuinely wounded when you fuck something up and he slips into water, fire or one of the traps. The level designs are in places truly sadistic. I feel extremely bad about releasing this link into a forum where a lot of people have addictive personalities. Please don't get hooked.

We had a Spectrum 48k and the Currah speech device - spent ages trying to get the bastard to curse properly - you had to spell the words phonetically..

Loved Attic Attic, and a later spaceship shooter called Uridium

Hated the hassle of getting the games almost loaded and it crashes, and trying to get the volume on the tape just right...

Can I just say that I love this thread? Took me straight back.

Daley Thompson - I think that was reposnible for more cases of RSI than wanking ever has been.

I got landed with an Amstrad CPC6128 (with the shitty 3" floppy drive and green monitor, so I was jealous of everyone with a Speccy or a C64. I dimly recall having a Sinclair ZX81 around, but it was already an out-of-date piece of crap then.

In fact, it's this bitterness that made the unsavoury bastard I am.

Keep 'em coming. :)

I'd take an Amstrad over a Speccy any day. My mate had the 464 with green screen and tape deck and his mate had it with the blue screen. I loved Milk Race on the 464 and Harrier Attack. My Master System shat on all the 8 bit computers though. Hated load times. 11 years into the 21st century and I still have to wait for games to load...:! I seem to be the only one who thinks that the load situation is a joke...
