On a scale of 1-10....

I've just downloaded a ZX81 emulator and found an old game that was in it's day fabtasticul....

3D Monster Maze.... The mist of time close over you while we transport you to the lair of the T-Rex, Please wait 30 seconds while loading...

he's hunting you, he sees you.. then big teeth and press C to continue...

Then I thought, why am I putting this hyper fast computer system with far superior everything compared to a ZX81 through this,
So I endded the game to post this...;)

Re: how sad am I..?
 

You should never sell your old games systems. I sold my N64 and all the games then a few years later bought another and started building my games collection again. I've got a NES, SNES, N64, PS1 and PS2
Although I never play them anymore :lol: but its good to know they're there lol

One word ... playability ;-)

You just don't get that in so many games these days. All you get is "eye-candy". Otherwise how else would you explain the "phenomenal success" (?) of DOA? It is, when all said n done, just another "fighter" ... only with a super-dooper-ultra-realistic-physics-engine, which is just another way of saying "Look, her b00bs bounce when she jumps!". LMAO

Games producers have just got their priorities all wrong ... nobody cared about colour-clash back then (unless of course you were trying to write a game!) ... gamers just played them because they could ... and they could play for them hours upon hours!

:) Ahhh, nostalgia ... its not what it used to be ... oh wait a minute, that's exactly what it is! ;-) LOL

I've just bought some Gameboy games from ebay (no, not Gameboy Advance).

HTH

I played Lords of Midnight last week. It's still ace.

Re: how sad am I..?
 

Lords of Midnight?! That Mike Singleton classic?! ... and the very same Mike Singleton who used to drink in the pub I worked in ;-)

Re: how sad am I..?
 

i can understand spectum games (cus ive done it:)) but zx81! no colour or sound?:rolleyes:

Re: how sad am I..?
 

yeah but then ... no colour clash, and no beep-beep-beepity-beep ;-)

Actually, think of it as comparable to the reasons why some people prefer to watch a good Charlie Chaplin movie as opposed to the latest "Hollywood blockbuster" ;-)
