I LOVE to play computer games, they are the things that keep me sane in this crazy world! My faves of all time have to be (top 5) are:
1) Time Crisis 2
2) Final Fantasy 8
3) Resident Evil Nemisis or Veronica
4) Sonic and Knuckles (come on, you remember)
5) Tekken 3
I have lots more but these are the first ones that came into my head
Lastly, what do you think will win the big console war between Sega, PlayStation 2, Game cube (Nintendo) or Microsoft's X-Box?

I enjoyed Tekken 3 until my brother sold it, I haven't played your other games.
I love the Resident evil series on the playstation, have u tried silent hill? it's really cool.
I like my gameboy colour as well, I know it's sad but pokemon has to be one of the best games for that format. Shanghai pocket and zelda are good too.

Frogger on the BBC Micro B which used to keep me entertained for hours as a kid (and am still partial to the occasional game).
Also the game that has keeping me going is Rainbow six, despite looking a bit old compared to other games of it's genre still a totally awesome game. Who'd have thought a book could make such great game ? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">

My fave game on the beeb was Bolderdash.

Good to hear from someone that has fond memories of the Micro B
I Don't remember Bolderdash ... but most of the games on the Micro B were pretty much the same.. but still rocked.
certainly the best way of writing basic, leading to VB and (boo) Microsoft.

I loved ALEX KIDD, SONIC & MICKEY MOUSE CASTLE OF ILLUSION

For anyone who doesn`t know (kids these days....) Elite was a space trading game, where you bought an sold interglactic cargo. And shot things. Oh, and it had the graphics of VRibbon, only in those days it was really pushing the machine to its limits.

PS Up until a couple of years ago I didn't even know that Hitch Hikers Guide etc were books! How bad is that?! LoL

Computer evolution goes Acorn Electron (still rocks) Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, PC. Just realised how bland that last genre sounds..........
Well, Elisa, you got stuck at the beginning <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"> ! Did you take the analgesic? Very important, almost as important as reading the mail, and you should never throw away pocket or satchel fluff. Gawd, now I'm going to have to search the internet to see if I can still finish the game!!!
There were some really really annoying bits later on in the game, like two hours in, which depend on what you did right at the beginning like keeping the pocket fluff and feeding the dog (if you don't feed the dog...well... I shouldn't really tell you lol).
Does anyone still have a copy they could email me. Pleeeeease

Hmmm, I seem to remember having to lie down in froms of the bulldozer, but I can't remember whether you stay there, or get up on the third warning. I'm just gonna have to get the game aren't I lol. I used to play it on the PC (an 8086!!!)

Wrinkles are merely where smiles have been

So... we have another oldy in our midst. about time too lol.
36 hours of elite, gawd you must have been addicted. My ex only managed an 8 hour stint (at work, while he should have been working)

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Someone mentioned Metal Gear Solid - it was damn good, but I reckon it drew quite a few of its ideas from a mixture of the better PC games existing at the time (e.g. MDK and Half-Life). Not really knocking it though.
BTW, someone on here liked BBC Basic? Acorn Basic 5,6,7(?) on the Archimedes and later machines was even better. Integrated really nicely with the OS, well thought out and easy to learn, all control structures except OO and functional stuff too. Of course, Acorn was dying by then...
