    Black Tiger is one of my most favourite games. First game I ever finished on 10p. (followed by Double Dragon, and Robocop)

    I didn't realise there were some remakes on newer consoles ... I'll have a busy weekend now :)

    The coin mechanism will be there too. But it's just really for fun. You can turn freeplay on so you won't need to insert coins
    I've got a rake of old 10 pence pieces if you want them. A quid a pop :D

    Black Tiger and Wonderboy in Monsterland were my stalwarts when the money was low, 10p guaranteed to clear every time and piss everyone off that was waiting.
    Surely the greatest satisfaction was not clearing the game, it was the mumbled *fooker* as the waiting hoard took their 10p's up because of the wait.
    Stop all this flashback

    It's sad really :( The arcade industry seemed to die out in this country over night.

    stop, Rygar (we called it Legendary Warrior I think) was class, loved the jumping onto the flying guys and that *ding* when you collected all the powerups.
    Kept all my lives until around level 14/16 then got destroyed, never cleared it

    They just seem to have gone for the big cabs .ie racing car or dance games.No time for the humble platformers of old!
