602769 2007-10-18 20:03:00 MDK 1997 - still my favourite game ever

:lol: I remember MDK (Played it on my PS1), and played it like "crazy", its just sad I got stuck somewhere towards the end and couldnt figure out how to move on, and Point Blank (in the arcades) must have spent serious cash on it, still do :D :thumbs: 		ronyville (10611)
602770 2007-10-18 21:14:00 Stunt Car Racer



That was one of them!
Played that game for hours at a time as well :D
The thing that made it so great was that you could make your own tracks.

We had this "game console" that had two swivel type controllers and four built-in games. Would have been around 1980-81.
The games were - Tennis, Hockey, Squash and Practice. May still have this machine somewhere, will need to have a look sometime. 		CYaBro (73)

Um....actually, No. You couldn't make your own tracks, Maybe your thinking of the came Stunts?

On Stunt Car Racer you were on elevated tracks that resembled Rollor Caosters, when you went off the side you were lifted back on by a crane.


Edit- The game your thinking about must have been stunts, that one definitly has a track editor

602772 2007-10-18 21:45:00 paperboy, park range, Indiana Jones - all on Commodore64 were favorites . Indiana Jones even came out on two (!) tapes, it was like the biggest game I'd ever played .

Before then I played pong when it was out, then space invaders and digger on my first PC . It was nine kinds of awesome . 		Jan Birkeland (4741)
602773 2007-10-18 21:53:00 Spent many hours playing Megalomania on my Amiga 500 along with some game based on the Aliens movies. Cyberdogz for Windows was awesome fun and very simple game. The Yukon Trail was all the rage at primary school along with Prince of Persia. Pete O'Neil (6584)

Yes you are right it was Stunts :o 		CYaBro (73)
602775 2007-10-18 22:32:00 Yes I have been playing games on computers since 1985, Commodore 64/Amiga/PC, some of the games mentioned bring back fond memories. Stunt Car Racer loved that especially the draw bridge track where you had to get the timing right to get over it and Buggy Boy as well. I do note that the prices of games have not changed over the years, still costing between $80 to $100 or so.

602776 2007-10-18 22:39:00 I remember going into Smith City with my dad to buy an Atari 2600, I must have been about 6 or 7, The games were $100 each.

Shocking.

I'm surprised we didn't just get a thick ear and a pie to share from the pie cart..... 		Metla (12)
602777 2007-10-18 23:29:00 I notice a few people mentioning Buggy Boy.
I enjoyed that too (on Amiga 500).
Unfortunately some years ago the disk for it went missing and I have never found it since :mad:
