bubble bobble is another ace one. Good 2 player with a mate and all... Desperately trying to grab the umbrella which would make you skip loads of levels was ace.
Rainbow Island was also mint.

If we're classing Goldeneye as retro then we have to count Mario 64. It being the best of all the mario games.

Rainbow island is fucking awsome!
My youth was spent playing Monkey Island, Champ Manager and sensible world of soccer!
I loved my Amiga 500 like you would not believe!
Anyone know any sites where i can download retro games? The underdogs seems a bit fucked at the mo (full of pop ups!)

anyone know if it is possible to open .dsk files? I'm guessing .dsk is a disk image of an old game you just downloaded? If it's for an old type of computer then an emulator for that machine should be able to run it. |

I browse the underdogs forums for time to time. underdogs - the bird who owns the site, has pretty much left it for nearly a year and a half now. Think she still pays the bills to keep it going but is too busy with political stuff in her native Thailand to actively update it. I would say try Abandonia but that seems to be playing up too. Sketchy. Searching the forums of retroremakes.com will probably throw up some remakes of most good old games. |

I miss a time where games were more about hitting the zone with the joystick and pulling off a sublime set of manoeuvres just to keep on going to see the next level. Dieing and then playing through it all again, but better so you'll have more lives/health when you face the bit which you defeated you. Not like now where it's all about scraping through to the next save point. Saying that, if you want to play a retro-style game (which does have save points) then you can't go much wrong with Cave Story. http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/Crazy fun platformer |

1 and 2 were better no, no, no and no 3 was the best followed by 1, 2 was shite and wasnt even a proper Mario game. I agree. Though mario world took the royal piss of the whole series up til then. Mario 64!!! Oh my word. near perfection |
