Didn't anybody in Ireland have an Atari 800XL, or did they keep the good stuff out of the country? :P

That's it!!! So many memories that game brings back!!! I loved New Zealand Story too.

Terminator 2 was the best. Also liked Paperboy and that Circus game that came with the cartridge.

Does anyone remember Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis?

I spent a solid three months playing that, and that only. Never finished it though.

Remember in the Eagle Comic? They had the strip where a chap was in a different computer game each week. Ah there's nostalgia.

Double Dragon in the arcade/bowling alley. Before that.. moon patrol ftw! Oh and Gauntlet 2 player.

You can get it with SCUMMVM. Those lucasarts games were great, had good humour.

Lotu II for the Megadrive?

IK+, The way of the exploding fist, The Last Ninja (series), Double Dragan (series), Outlaw, Dragon Slayer, Dizzy (series), Outrun, Shadow of the Beast (on cartridge), Spy Hunter, etc.

Double Dragon & The Last Ninja took up a lot of my time

Also learned how to code (in BASIC :rolleyes: ) on my C64.

I have very fond memories of my C64, don't think I would have the patience for it these days. I remember watching the intro to "The Last Ninja 3" with one of my close friends and both of us sat there with our jaws dropped at the bursts of animation.

Can't remember the names of any of the old spectrum games unfortunately, though I do remember having a football manager game where you couldn't buy or sell players or make substitutions or do anything really. All you did was pick your starting 11 and press play when the fixture came up. Then after much loading and tape noise, the results popped up on the screen. I also remember my da having a pc with msdos and we used to play prince of persia religiously, cd\games\princeofpersia
brilliant stuff. But then monkey island came along and swept us away!

DEVEREUX

Elite on c64 absolute class!
Stunt car racer pretty good too!
