Donald Duck's Playground (C64)
Y'know, educational games usually aren't my thing. But those smart chaps at Sierra On-Line really did something quite good here. I mean, sure, it's not Armalyte or Ultima IV. But I rather enjoyed recording this one. ๐

Stunt Car Racer (Framerate Unleashed โ Amiga)
I'm still in two minds about this one. I mean, it's great to be able to see Stunt Car Racer without it dropping any frames. But all the landings, and tilt of the corners feel so smooth now. Too smooth? ๐

Stunt Car Racer Unleashed (Amiga)
I don't know what it is: If I play this game on a slightly slower Amiga (a virtual 68030 @ around 30MHz), so it's dropping a few frames, somehow it feels 'better' to me. I'm too retro to handle a perfect frame-rate. ๐

Elevator Action Returns (arcade)
Over a decade after Elevator Action 1, and they managed to take the original concept and turn it into something modern and fun. An excellent game. ๐
(There's two player co-op, and the addition of bombs and powerup's.)

Sinistar (arcade)
Sinistar, for me, was one of the best shoot-em-up's of the classic arcade era. Lots of things to shoot, lots shooting at you and, my word, the voice of Sinistar coming from those speakers. Chills. ๐ฎ
Best played in the sit-down-cab.

Sega made me do it..
Bought Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing โ Steam sale. Reviews were a bit concerning about compatibility issues, but it ran well for me. ๐ But do you think there's an option to turn off rumble? Nope! Not a one. I hunted, I Googled. Opted for a permanent fix. ๐

Out of town for a few days so I brought the old GP2x handheld with me. Not sure I ever really tried the CapriceGP2x Amstrad CPC emulator on it before. Thats a fun one. Just had a go of a few random games, but I think I've got to dig into Amstrad gaming more. Is a cool machine. ๐

I never played Space Taxi on the C64 back in the day. So when I discovered Air Taxi on the Amiga (on Aminet) I thought it was a beautifully original idea. Air Taxi also supported the joystick 3 4 parallel port adapter, so full multiplayer Taxi madness could occur. Great times. ๐

Boulderdash (Amiga)
There were quite a few people who got their Amiga, no longer had their C64, and really got a kick out of the occasional game appearing on Aminet that would let them re-experience their C64 favourites. Boulderdรคsh was one of the more faithful conversions.

Wave Race (N64)
It can take me ages to try out new emulators. Did N64 through the old Project64 (slightly temperamental) and RetroArch (which can do anything, but has such a complex multi-system configuration.)
Tried Mupen on its own. It's really nice!

Hatari (Atari ST emulator)
In the 16bit era I was all-in on Amiga: 500, 1200, 4000, with 68030's, 68040's and the like added in in-between. So I thought now was about time I explored the world of Atari ST. ..and I gotta say: quite a fun machine. Some games not so different. ๐

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing (arcade)
Been getting into Mario Kart style racers lately. This one has that slick Sega style where they don't get caught up in over-complicating things. Can't for the life of me work out how drift, despite instructions. ๐

Android 2 (Spectrum)
The Speccy game came first, I think. There's an Amstrad version I haven't tried. There's more animation to the robots in the Speccy game, compared to C64. Gives them a bit more character. Also the Millitoids take 3 shots, not 2. An unpleasant surprise. ๐
