As Im Old What was your Old Timers 8bit Favorites?

I dont mean consel games but the old 8bit machines like the BBC Micro Computer, Commodore vic 20, C64, Amstrad, Spectrum ect.

BBC my fav had to be Chuckie Egg/Elite.


C64 - Last Ninja Series Or any other System 3 game, I think they made good isometric games like the Last Ninja and Vendetta ect oh and airborn ranger by microprose


Amstrad - Green Beret

Oh I forgot my main Fav on the Amstrad, The way of the Exploding Fist.


Man Looking at these how times have changed.... 16bit additions next.

I started playing Console games in 1980 and had my first Computer in 1986. Before that, it was green machines and big wheels. Playing Scarface and Babyface instead of cowboys and Indians. Jesus, I've been gaming for almost 26 years. Nobody here can't say I'm not a gamer even if I don't have the fastest computer or connection.

Yes its mad how much money I would spend in the Fish Shop and the Arcades when Space Invaders, Astoroids, Galaxians ect came out, They just dont cut it these days though I do step back in time sometimes on the ShareWare versions.

Man things were so easy back then, Its a shame we have to grow old...
