Gnat @ Feb. 16 2006,12:37)]And Demo Disks !!!!! Why arent they around for the PC !! lol

I must still have 30 odd demo disks, amazing music, amazing graphics.

Oh yes! The strange feeling when you ran one of them and came to the conclusion that someone for example actually implemented a wolfenstein-engine on a C64 and the whole thing was not bigger then 56k...

If you ever wondered what these kind of guys are up to now, look here.

I thought that tune might have been Operation Stealth to begin with, but I'm now certain it isn't. Sounds very Operation Stealthy though.

thx jackson62 for the music

Has anybody got or played Pandora? top down space station strategy type rpg game? I am seriously needing a walkthough for it as I have looked for years but no luck, this game has top notch atmosphere too, bizzare game for eg: piano and music players, you can have a scrap with anyone (a dust comical cloud appears lol) and robot hoovers, eccentric tennis player etc huge huge space to explore in

hmm can only find the title screen pic:

edit: only a small pic which makes it look crap but omg I consider this one a personal classic

if u havent heard of this: take a look at this good read!

'Find out what somebody wants and then find somebody who has what the last one wanted'...

Hmm, doesn't sound too thrilling tbh. But then, you have to see the whole picture of course. (..and the atmosphere)

Wow, theres some memories.

Cannon Fodder was a good play

Cool. Just came to know 'Covert Action', it runs under XP with this VDMS emulator.

The Gfx look like lego blocks, but it's great fun tbh. Quite amazing how much fun some lines of text and blocky gfx can still offer today.

I actually found my original Syndicate box for the PC a couple of weeks ago (looks identical to the Amiga Box).

So I went ahead and installed DOSbox and have played Syndicate for allmost two weeks now.

I wish Molyneux would ditch The Movies and make a 3rd Syndicate game that lives up to the first game, not Syndicate Wars.

syndicate rocked... but you are right, I was very disapointed with Syndicate wars. Anyway... Heres something for good old Amiga Nostalgi:

The Settlers (One of my very favorite games... Played alot of splitscreen of Settlers using two mice).

Another Impressive game (Dune II). The first RTS as we know it.

Frontier (Elite II). Now this is the best game ever made to Amiga... And how Braben got this piece onto 3 disks still wonder my mind. This game is a space-game. All graphics are made of vectors (with maps), so it is virtually a 3D game. The very cool thing is, that the game includes an incredible large universe... And you can visit all the planets you like in whatever soldar system. Even earth is modelled.

You start out with a small ship, and have to work your way up to get better ships etc. You can choose to earn ya money by trade (theres 100s of different goods to choose from). And the prizes in each solar system (or planet), is placed because of a gigantic economical system. Places that have lots of one good, wont pay much for it. That way you need to figure out what to buy and where to go. And the prizes keeps changing of course.

You can also choose to smuggle narcotics on the black market... if you dare. Police arent happy if they catch you. You can also simply choose to be a pirate, which lives from all the goods that the ships you destroy looses. Or simply choose your way into the police or even military - if you can. The game is from 1983

Anyway, here are some screenies for you to admire:

A space-station placed in space (duh).

Space station and city placed on a planet (with no athmosphear though)... Look, it got 3D clouds... BIS, arma GOTTA have those!

Closing onto a station on planet with a cobra ship (lol... I could even remember what ship it was):

Serious memories with those Frontier shots. I have a steak under the grill right now but I'll post back a MAJOR conquer all cheat for Frontier when I've had my steak

Okay steak has been eaten and it is the following day. The cheat is:

Get a passenger to stay in one of your cabins (which you have to buy first) on the agreement you will take them somewhere. Then goto any space station and try and sell the cabin which is occupied. You don't lose the cabin but you do get the cash for it added to your bank balance.

Do this another 9,999 times and before you know it you'll be the richest person ever to have existed. That means the biggest baddest ship with a ridiculously high number of shield generators and powerful continuous beam lasers, missiles and all kinds of things. Huge confrontations with the police soon become a pleasurable shooting gallery and you can go wherever you like doing whatever you please, killing anybody who has so much as a harsh word to say about you

If I remember correctly the best ship is the Puma or Panther Clipper. It's huge and generally deadly

If I recall Frontier was bugged to hell...

[-)rStrangelove 0]

Not only that, the steering method was catastrophic imo. Never knew when to break and therefore either crashed into my chosen planets or missed them by some billion km...

[Espectro (DayZ) 0]

There wasnt many bugs, and the steering was easy

lol i still play them all the time between ofp

c64 classics

have fun

[shadow 6]

Hehe funny little emulator there. I'm impressed.

I use the C64S emulator (or something similar) every now and then.

[Blanco 0]

I had an Vic20, the good old C64 and a Amiga 500 (screw Atari )

I've made music with my Amiga with a program called Soundtracker, 4 sound channels and you could only use samples.

Later there was Octalizer with 8 channels, don't ask me how they did that, cos the Amiga had only 4 channels.

I had more than 3000 games (really), I few titles I remember...
