FLASH BACK...........

Post by MENTL1_CHB » Sat May 15, 2010 4:13 pm

The other day I was surfing youtube when I came across footage of an old school game that i used to thrash (stuntcar racer) it brought back wicked memories of when I had an Amiga 500, so I spent all night watching clips of games that I used to play way back in the day and even by today standards the game play on so of these games were awesome!!!!

So I thought Id post up a couple of clips as no doubt some of the older guys round here will start having flashbacks of days gone by :D and maybe share a story or two of what games they played and maybe there favorites.

I had hundreds of games but my favorites had to be.........

Worms
Skidmarks
North and South
It came from the desert
Speedball 2
Supercars 2
Kick off
Street rod 2

Just to name a few.










Funny thing is after having these flash backs I went looking for my machine at my ma and pa's place and found it there with all my games joysticks & pads etc etc only thing that I no longer have is the monitor... Soooo happy!! If anyone has an old amiga monitor they no longer need let me know :cute:

Worms was an alltime favourite of mine

As well as Team Buddies and Hogs of War on PS1

Demolition Man on Sega stole a bit of my time, as well as the usuals, Sonic etc.

Can't remember the name of my favourite chopper sim...but I remember the intro movie word for word...

President: "Things are getting desperate"
Defence Advisor: "Yes sir"
President: "Is the equipment ready?"
Defence Advisor: "Final preparations are in progress sir"
President: "Is the team assembled?"
Defence Advisor: "Yes sir! Jack Marshall's the chief tactician"
President: "And the pilot?"
Defence Advisor: "One of our finest sir"
<cue majestic music and footage of an attack chopper unleashing hell on some poor buggers>

Ring a bell for anyone?

EDIT: Found it! It was Thunderhawk :)
My memory wasn't QUITE word perfect, but pretty close. Not bad for 15 year old memories haha.

Worms World Party at LAN is wicked fun... my cod4 clan has played it at every lan we have been to including the big one at xlan, good to see I will meet toonz at the one this year. The pub/bar up the road is looking better and better... although being top dog in a game I suppose hes on a curfew lol poor bugger.

First games I remember that I played are Dune 2000, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Doom 2, Quake. Ah good times.
