Aaah, Pong - welcome my beautiful old memories Atari should be forever praised for releasing this little diamond! Has the table tennis ever been so interesting

Re: Best Computer Game..

Rab,

Your post about Atari VCS games reminded me that the first video game I ever had was the ubiquitous 'Pong' game

This should bring back memories!

Re: Best Computer Game..

I had the same problem trying to hook up my Grans VCR to her new tv. You can search all you want through the bandwidths to see if the input you are putting in is receiving, but it won't pick up. That's just the way technology marches on.

Passing the aerial through any tech seems like a thing of the past now. It wouldn't surprise me if coax cables are around once it becomes possible to stream TV reliably. I don't even use scart cables now, everything is going composite or HDMi. It leaves any piece of tech without these outputs out in the cold in the future.

Re: Best Computer Game..

oh i see mate thats a pity.

i have a few very old telly's kept for that reason.

i never actually knew you could not tune a commodre 64 into a flatscreen.

Re: Best Computer Game..

Sly, don't give up. As I always say, there is always a way around things if you look hard enough for it. A mate of mine was able to get an old Megadrive console to connect up to a new telly, so I am sure you can get your commodore to hook up too. You may need connector cables but I am sure it's possible. Keep trying.

Re: Best Computer Game..

hey sly it was and is so addictive.

i have it for the commodre 64 and i still play it.

nothing beats playing on one of the consoles it originlly came out on.
its the only way for me.

It's not a choice for many people. Either they don't have the original equipment or they don't have a tv capable of using the old hardware. I can no longer use my C64 because of this, it won't tune into new flatscreen TV's.

Re: Best Computer Game..

Game I loved when I was younger was one for the Sega Megadrive called Bogerman. It was, to some people, gross, but to me it was hilarious. You had to jump on giant zits and burst them to get points, to travel between one level and another you had to flush yourself down the toilet and if you started the game, but didn't make the character move, he got bored and either picked his nose and ate it or picked his nose and wiped it on his ****. I had endless hours of fun laughing at this character. I still have the game. Wish I could play it.

I love how the 'music' speeds up when there is less action on the screen. You cannot really complain, most peoples avatars on this website are probably bigger than the whole data used in creating that game.

If you want to play JSW again you can get it on Xbox 360 off of the Indie games channel. I've not played it myself as I was never much of a fan, although I'm told by people that played it to death back then that it is just as good. I just had a look and it's 240 points, which translates to about £2 in real money. Not too bad for a hit of nostalgia.

funnily enough i was a huge fan of RPGs back in the day, especially Megadrive (aka Genesis) RPGs and i played basically all of them except King's Bounty lol, my faves from the Megadrive were

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday
Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun
Rings of Power
Might & Magic 2: Gates to Another World
Shining Force
Shining Force 2 (this being my fave game from the 16-bit era, and its where my avatar comes from)

but absolute fave game of all time would be Final Fantasy VII

Re: Best Computer Game..

(IMO) The best computer game of it's day would have to be King's Bounty. Absolutely awesome game. If you've never played it.. Why not?!
