Check out the self-titled album by a band called The Advantage. They cover everything from Super Mario Bros. to Wizard & Warriors., which is great fun.
Me, I was more a Commodore 64 type of guy, so I would have appreciated covers of these themes more.

remember the new-zealand story?…i could never get past the see through whale thing…kept tryin to pull a jonah and jump into his mouth…but sadly that just resulted in immediate death

one time i also programmed some code to make a balloon float across the screen…my proudest moment to date…sad ly.

I was a NES and a C64 game… oh the joys of a mis-spent youth.

New Zealand story was fucking brilliant, but I remember the game crashed at some point. I did get past the whale tho ;)

Does anyone know where you could get a C64 emulator and games? I’ve still got my NES and SNES in working condition (yeah, that’s right, envy me), but I gave my C64 away to my cousin when I was 16 and thought knowing how to play the guitar would be more impressive to girls than knowing how to get the high-score on “Monty On the Run”.

Unfortunately, I don’t know these games, but I DO remember the joy of my commodore breaking down when I least wanted it, too.

Some classics I used to play:
Zak McKraken
Maniac Mansion
Ghosts ‘N’ Goblins
Law Of The West
Rambo
Commando
Forbidden Forest
Last Ninja
Impossible Mission
Hero

Superunknown: I remember Ghosts and Goblins. My fav C64 games were

Roadrunner - brilliant. Fucking ace. Can’t believe it was released on something as basic as the C64

Mask - based on the cartoon of the same name. You picked 3 vehicles and you could change them by driving over water to turn the car into a boat or whatever. My fav was the motorbike that turned into a helicopter :cool: If I remember correctly, the character who drove said vehicle was supposed to be a rockstar on the show.

Airwolf - again, based on the TV show. A scrolling shoot-em-up that was so good even my cousin who hates computer games thought it was great.

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - so much better than the NES version. The only annoying thing was that you had to enter a different code every time it loaded. D’oh.

There were also a few others, but I can’t remember what they were called :( Damn I wish I hadn’t given away my C64 now.

I have an amiga emulator which i got free with Retro gamer magazine but a ‘kickstart ROM’ is required which the mag couldnt give away because it is still copyrighted, bit of a shame because i have always wondered what the Amiga was like graphic-wise etc. i didnt it make it past my Amstrad CPC which i still have a collection of games for, maybe keep them as antiques. i remember a cracking game called ‘Elite’ which was a space-trading game with a very catchy title screen tune and ‘manic miner’, lovely stuff. I was pleased to read that the game NARC,one of the coolest games ever is going to be included on an Arcade treasures collection on the PS2.

It’s always been here, the original post was about The Advantage. WP has set up a new thread in Chit Chat for this computer talk: http://www.therapyquestionmark.co.uk/wallofmouths/showthread.php? … eadid=5252

So bugger off. All of you, now. Go on!
