RoyTordesLegend Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well, back then, I got DPaint IV,.. uhm,.. on a disc. From my uncle. However, The Secret of Monkey Island was the first game I ever bought! Together with an external floppy drive. And one Amiga Action Replay III! It enabled me to extract the SoMI soundtrack in that strange TFMX format, right out of the RAM, it was a blast. I also made my own sprites for Turrican ^^ Yeahhhh!!!! I had the Action Replay II I remember racing home from the shops on me bike with it. I couldn't wait to power it up and start extracting graphics, sounds and music from games lol. Those most certainly were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Since I had it, the power button got fired, when I wasn't on, I had it on FFREEEEEZE! ; Nowadays, I got an image for this, and the amiga emulator. With the MK III you can even hack graphical power bars. Ah, yah, those days. When games weren't bloated with cheats and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyTordesLegend Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've got a big retro feeling going at the moment, I've been playing around with spectrum emulators, and I really fancy doing crazy things like buying old computers and having a go at knocking up a retro game. Somebody stop me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Jones Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Anyway, so far I use Amiga, Atari800, N64 and PSX emulators. Now and then, we're (kids and me) at The Goonies on the Atari, for teh pixelated fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'll do it in php! Doing anything with PHP is a form of self abuse, so logically this will also make you go blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I hope Roy has taken his Spectrum on holiday to write his gaming opus. The rubber keyboard should keep it safe and dry next to the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyTordesLegend Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I hope Roy has taken his Spectrum on holiday to write his gaming opus. The rubber keyboard should keep it safe and dry next to the pool. It was nice and safe, however the 1984 'Pye Rambler' black and white portable tv did not survive the holiday....

Huz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The Hobbit! Wait. Time passes. Wait. Time passes. Wait. Time passes. The trolls have turned to stone! If only LucasArts puzzles would solve themselves given enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
