I remember Tandy TRS-80's and when commodore64 owned specturm ... ;)

got nostalgic the other day and put loads of c64 and spectrum games on my ngage ... How did we play those things for so long ??

[vgmonkey]

i have no idea i played on my speccy a thte weekend for about 45 mins and half of that was loading times, what do the games run like on the ngage?!
ooops! that a phone topic!

i shouldnt really know the zx as it was a lil before my time, but i have a strange attraction to the older games!

Ah the Phillips CDi with 7th Guest, Burncycle and Little Devil....Memories

I think I have still got it, just a matter of finding it...................Nah I'l stick with the X-Box.:)

[vgmonkey]

yep 7th guest, 11th hour, heck i even had the zelda games on it, and MAD DOG omg now that was a simple shooter! lol

I remember playing "Bards tale" on my amstrad. That used to take ages bcos of going up and down levels. Any idea of how many bytes or bites a tape can store? Was glad when floppy discs came along :)

[vgmonkey]

correct me if i am wrong (and i am usually) i think a zx spectrum casette was 660kb per 90 min side!

[ibyellow]

I think your about right :) I just looked at the disc version of bards tale for amstrad and they are the 740Kb size and there's two discs.Think you ment 45min per side of the casette though :) you can tell this was bugging me cant ya LOL!!!

[vgmonkey]

i get like that too! my mate and I agued about dizzy egg (hence why i played them recently, to confirm that i was right)

[Daedalus]

I actually went out and bought a Megadrive (Mark II) with 2 controllers for £20 a few months ago simply to play Sonic The Hedgehog again lol :)

[Ðeton8r]

lol I've been playing megadrive sonics on my ngage and i think they're better than the ngage sonic :P
