Altered Beast on the mega drive... quality gaming.
The best game I ever played was Syndicate Wars on the pc. I can´t seem to get it anywhere now. I bought one on Ebay but my laptop and desktop were both far too fast for the game (if that makes sense). I couldn´t play it. Does anyone know where to get it?
I had that running not so long ago, although not very well, on an XP machine. Still got the original disk for that, was great fun, although not as good as the original.
Think it was using dosbox and some help from this site: http://syndicate.lubie.org/
Used to love going round with the persuadatron, with hundreds of people following me round, taking out all the police with my army of civilians...
Just read through the entire thread, can't believe I missed this, some great memories of ancient stuff...
Anyone remember hunter? The scope of this was amazing for it's time
Could use all sorts of vehicles to get from place to place, and the map was enormous.

Yes, was a very good good game. I've not got round to 16bit yet though.
feck yeah! I was trying to remember the name of this game but all i could come up with was 'beast wars'
Crammond, Archer Mac, Braben, Braybrook, Crowther, Minter, where did they go?
I don't want to talk about Dave Jones, the cnut!

Not long ago he was heading up Awesome under Ignition, but left for 'unknown reasons'.
It's a long story and one I won't divulge though, since I did have close ties to them and still respect some of the people involved.
Wasn't Minter is here: http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/frontpage.php
What's up with Dave Jones?
He created GTA, I'll never forgive him.
Speaking about GTA, I was the other week thinking about how it could have been done on the Amiga, it must have been his target machine when he first had the idea. And I think that I know how it could be done. It would require some serious copperlist work, but...
Not sure how much Braben is still involved in gaming but his company is still developing stuff independently. Their next game sounds pretty ambitious...

I think the original certainly could be done. Syndicate was pretty awesome on it, IIRC.
He's been at that for years. I'd like to know where he gets his cash from.
It's the pseudo 3D of the buildings I was thinking about.
Syndicate was a nice game, but not graphically pushing it. I spent probably weeks trying to get the Amiga to copy Mode 7 of the SNES. I hated Nintendo for it, and I hated Commodore for it (I could go off on an enormous rant over this particular aspect). I've since calmed down.

Ahh mode 7, that brings back memories! The Snes was a very nice piece of technology, if a little quirky to work with.
Still had a crap sound chip!
What a thread. So many memories. Brings tears to my eyes.
Here's a game no one mentioned, bit of an overlooked gem in my opinion ...
Exile C64

And suffered from severe slowdown if the programming was anything other than top notch.
Mush better machine technically than the Megadrive/Genesis though.
That sound chip was designed by old Ken you know. Yes, it was a very clever little machine.
That's brilliant!
And it was thanks to you I remembered it. I'd gotten it mixed up with Drop Zone at first, but then I saw the error in my ways
Abandonia is a site which brings you old games for free. These are games whose rights have expired. Lots of good stuff.

It also have a dos emulator for download, if games don't run on XP.

Contra was my fav.
Can't beat a good combo on Killer Instinct:
Anyone else remember the first appearance of Reptile in the Mortal Kombat series?
Cheers mate. Will try that.
There's nothing better than vertical shoot'em ups!

Right, want to run some old PC games on 64bit Windows 7 for research purposes, what do I need? I'm talking stuff 1995 and older.
GoG account?
Pre 1995 PC games and Wds 7 64B
Very useful!
I loved these, but Super Bomberman was the game I played most on the SNES.
loved this game but I do not recall it having such a gay box
