To waste a few minutes while waiting for HL2, have a play around on some of these and marvel at the superior gameplay and graphics, not a ragdoll in sight *grins* and you don't need DX9 or expensive ATI cards neither ;)

I was pretty surprised to find a spectrum emulator as an online java applet :) Now I wonder how many of you actually remember these games the first time round?
 
The furthest I go back is my Atari, that thing kicked ass till I broke the joystick playing Stunt Car Racer :D
 
Hey...whatever happened to Nintendo 8bit? But that on the list!
 
mmmmm.... i had my spectrum with the rubber keys... it was the bee's knees in the mid 80's...

I doubt half the members of this forum have even played on any of them systems though, as the Master System/NES were probably available to them when they were young kids.
 
I had something called a bbc computer i think :| thats wot i remember it as anyway, something with a tape streamer it rocked!
 
Amigas had the coolest games...

*Sigh*

Ruff'n'Tumble on my A500...

Impending nostalgia attack!
 
Not counting the old consoles like Atari, Nintendo and Sega,
i'd have to say the C64 and Amiga500 were my favorite rigs.
The Amiga was an awesome (gaming) machine at the time.
 
Hehe, true indeed.
I used to have boxes full of floppy disks with all kinds of software.
Bought it all from some dude who made a zillion copies of his software.
Got his address in the paper.

Ahhh, pre-internet warezing. The memories.
