8) 8) 8) 8) While waiting for the Poland videos to download, I am currently playing the all-time spectrum classic 'Horace Goes Skiing' :notworthy: :notworthy:

After that I plan to play on Minesweeper, even though it's the most tense, nerve-wracking gaming experience going :twisted: :twisted:

You could also try this one - http://www.classic-trash.com/index.php just watchout for the damn pop ups!

Sadly this one has disappeared - http://www.emuunlim.com/hob/ you could play jet set willy, sabrewulf and many classics online!

The underdogs is a great site; all sorts of good, obscure, games to be found. I enjoyed Silent Hunter, Triango, Ishido (way of the stones) and of course Neuromancer. The latter takes about 30s to download!

I'm over the whole retro-games thing. I mean if my PC is too fast to play Cal Games then what is the point?

I'm a bit of a PC games fan. Whilst waiting for THPS4, Doom III and GTA Vice City for PC I'm amusing myself with THPS3, GTA3, UT 2003, Alice and NFS6.

You people take your technology for granted! I run a 16MB PC @ 128Mhz without a sound card.

Finding games that run really isn't trivial!

If any of you play GO, please let me know.

If you run it in DOS you should be able to play Quake 1 and maybe even Quake II with a push. They're still two of the best games ever.

I've got a couple of ISA sound cards spare. Next time you're in the neighbourhood give me a shout :innocent:

;D ;D I'm a complete Resident Evil nutter, I've completed the original playstation one about 15 times (literally), I've even bought and completed the Sega Saturn version and the directors cut, just because they are very slightly different.

One of those games you can stay up all night playing :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

8) Will do.
Shame the Resident Evil film had sod all to do with the games.

Am about to start a go on 'Championship Manager', so you won't hear from me for a few weeks......

I thought that the Resi film was pretty good. It had enough acknowledgements to the games. Plus it had Milla Jovanovich in it...

Mainly playing Half Life and Jedi Knight 2 at the moment. I have a cd with shedloads of old Spectrum games and an emulator if anyone is interested.

:D :D Yeah, it's a detective adventure set in the Discworld universe. Don't really like his books, but the game is genuinely funny. Kind of a point n click game, but don't let that put you off!
