Hooked on old games...... still

Had some time to play around today so I thought I'd take a look at a blast from my past. I grew up playing games on a zx spectrum before learning to write for it. One of the earliest addictive games I played was this one. I give you Jet Set Willy. The father of all platform games. OMG its even harder than I remember. I'm sure as a kid I could cross the banyan tree, been trying all day still no joy!
Here take a look. Gotta love some of these old games!
Obviously its a .zip not .txt but boards attatchments feature sucks balls!

So, you have a link to a good Speccy emulator?

I used to have every NES and SNES game on here, but I forgot to back them up last time I formatted :(

i was looking for one earlier and didnt find much. Let me know if you find a good one.

For some ungodly reason, I can play,"Hals Hole in One Golf" for Super Nintendo for hours upon hours. I don't even play golf that much in real life. But for some reason, I can tear up that golf course silly. There is no one who can beat me at this game.

<------- I play Mega Man to avoid studying.

If you think it's old enough then

Dragon Warrior (the original) fanatic here.

Contra III

I also played Breath of Fire II for a while but then it got stuck everytime I owned a monster...

Dizzy. Those games aren't as difficult as I remember them but are still challenging.

Final Fantasy

Just Final Fantasy, the original.

I play old LucasArts or Sierra adventure games all the time.

Monkey Island 4 lyfe biotch!

@Stoned_coder : I've been playing Football Manager (That's REALLY old) for the spectrum on the ZX32 emulator. ZX32 is a very fine emulator IMHO http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/9932/

is it in .sna format. my emulator works beautifully with .sna, most .z80 refuse to run and .tap it doesnt even understand.
I'll download that one and try it with some of the .taps i got

RC Pro Am for the NES.

Oh yeah. But man them cheating cars.

Right on Govtcheez! I've been playing Monkey Island lately, and I'm about to embark on playing all the King's Quest and Space Quest games again.

I could probably hook you up with the SNES games.

I hear that Mega Man stuff, man good times. I have most of the NES ones in original form...good condition boxes, manuals and AD inserts. I collect NES games off eBay for now, and SNES games where I can. My goal is to just collect the ones that Interest me. I have like 13 video game systems and the newest one is a Dreamcast. :-/

MAME is also fun. So is playing Game Boy Classic video games through a Game Boy emulator on your computer while outputting to a projector. Talk about huge characters. Hahaha.

I have to go with Lithorien. Dragon Warrior rocks!
