    Getting tired of my mom telling me not to spend a lot of money on games.

    #retrogaming Movie for Spectrum, nice early isometric detective game this one from Imagine http://t.co/Dv6qFCXmVO

      The thing is when Ocean & Imagine released these isometric games on Spectrum and then C64 & Amstrad they did as little as possible with the conversion so it would have been exactly the same as the Spectrum version right down to the sound.

       

      Take for example The Great Escape, C64 & Amstrad versions are the same down to monochrome visuals and Spectrum style sound.

       

      Still really fine games though regardless.

    #retrogaming Anyone got a PS2 guitar for Guitar Hero 1 & 2 they wouldn't mind sending my way?

    1. IainGrimm

      IainGrimm

      I have had a look in the second hand shops round my area, loads of PS2 games but no hardware unfortunately, they do come up on eBay often but like you said it is the shipping as the wired guitars the fret boards don't disconnect making the item bulky. So putting the feelers out to see if anyone has a spare they wouldn't mind passing on before I go down the eBay route.

    #retrogaming Total Recall on Amstrad, decent platformer on 8 bit, similar to Oceans Batman the Movie in layout etc http://t.co/BPd298eLcT

      Yeah, there are some really nice loading pics on the Amstrad, even digitised ones.

       

      Game itself plays the same as Batman the Movie, you get a platform section then a side on driving section.

       

      Tried and tested formula that works, its a good game that is pretty addictive

    #retrogaming Love this game, Jack the Nipper on the Amstrad. Great on C64 and Spectrum also :-) http://t.co/M8L64CNoq3

     

    1. IainGrimm

      IainGrimm

      Yeah, it actually started life on the Spectrum Jack the Nipper. It was inspired by Sweeny Toddler from Whizzer and Chips comic in the 80's

    Fook me!!!! Dark Souls 2 is way harder than the 1st game, 3 hours and virtually no progress, swarms of enemies kill you in a few seconds

    1. IainGrimm

      IainGrimm

      Getting to grips with it now, took out Last Giant and Pursuer boss. Used to using Spear & Shield but now using Sword & Shield.

       

      Not sure where to go next!!

      Such a shame, unfortunately it is not a hoax. I am genuinely upset about this. So many happy memories mid 80's of Ghostbusters.
