The Mighty EMULATOR!

[abstract incendiarie]

Emulators all the way, I have been wasting all of what would be my modelling time at uni (which isn\'t much as usualy it is drinking time) on a snes emulator.

You bastards.

If it wasn\'t for this thread, I never would have found abandonia, and with it my all time favourite game.

X-com Terror from the deep.

Well, there goes any painting time I had for the next year at least.

lollollol

Emulators are fun. It is funny we have these big machines and they are being used to play 8 bit games.

Invaders, Robotron...Ah memories.

Do they have Zaxxon?

Get out of it Vikey!

Computer games are very much a case of \'rose tinted specs\' for me. The reminiscing about Chucky Egg, Manic Miner and Galaxians is great, but play them now and they\'re interesting for all of five minutes.

Most 8 bit games were shite, and the ones that weren\'t don\'t stand the test of time I\'m afraid. Give me the new Perfect Dark and Res Evil 4 any day of the week!

I should clarify a bit...There are plenty of modern day games that have raised the bar to unbelievable heights. I don\'t want to go back to the good old days. Half-life 2 was a hoot.

There are also so many games that LOOK GREAT but are just one trick ponies. After playing them for a bit you \'get\' it, and want to move on.

Maybe its because there are SO many games now-a-days, but it seems for every 1 great game, there are 10 mediocre to poor games.

Same with everything in life though....

You have to wade through the crap to get to the gold.

That\'s a fair call. Our hands are going to get filthy! lol
