Ohh no she was scary, give me Jenna she can show me her strontium
grenades anytime.

 

I once made a movie clip of me playing through Chuckie Egg as a PC
screensaver.

Great it was.

 

that's the point.

nah.

 

Now that was a top game.

I wonder if there's a port anywhere...

Bonza!

 

I liked Chuckie Egg.

Games have gone downhill since then, and I don't really bother
anymore.

 

My copy of Zalaga could kick your Chuckie Egg's arse.

 

I remember mine with fondness, but that's probably because it was my
first ever computer. Couldn't really do a lot with it though.

Apart from play Hopper.

 

Indeed:

1977 (ish) - Nascom 1 (Z80a @ 1Mhz, 4k RAM, hand-crafted hex input)

Later:

BBC model B
BBC Master (crap)
Sinclair Spectrum
Atari ST
Acorn Archimedes

386SX25 (80M hard disc! Wow! 12M RAM! OS/2..)
486DX2/50

lots and lots of different PC's...

PS/2 70?

I found my "Official Kick-Off 2 World Champion" t-shirt the other day in
the loft. I was most put out when it didn't fit!

 

I spent *hours* playing CE. In fact it took me hours for each game,
not quite sure if I ever completely finished it though I got to the
last level.

its probably the only computer game I ever played apart from the first
sonic the hedgehog. Anyone know if you can get it for a normal PC?

<ggogle>

I just downloaded the java version of this (wouldn't run in the online
page, for some reason). What a load of shite. People used to spend
their time doing this?

I'd just like to say that this entire thread is a completely closed
book to me.

 

Ah. So the thread's not *completely* closed then...

 

Aye, that's the chap.

I used to play Doom on it, in a window approximately half the size of a
postage stamp.

I didn't win ... ever.

really, you had to be there.

It's like, you probably have some fond memories of the bikes you rode
in the 70s, but face it - they were shit.

 

Well, I didn't get my full licence until Feb 1980, but yes, I take
your point.
