Paperboy!!!, used to love that on the C64, hard as ****, but loved the stunt track at the end of each level. Great iconic artwork too!

The Shinobi art is great, screams Megadrive!

If you guys are all into retro video gaming you should really read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline before it comes out as a movie later this year directed by Steven Spielberg. It's a right 80s nostalgic riot with loads of nods to Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Dungeons & Dragons and shed loads of video gaming reference.

Here's a link to the trailer if you haven't seen it though that doesn't really highlight how obsessed with the 80s it really is. Definitely recommend reading the book first.

Ah yes! Yie ar Kung fu, used to love that game on the C64, sitting there in a dark room with my older brother watching it load and hearing that epic Ocean loading music and playing it on school nights, special times.

Read Player One, iv'e gotta say i'm not excited about it, the trailer just reminds me of a cheap novelty film like Pixels or something. I'll wait till I see reviews and then give it a shot, books are a no no for me though they give me a headache. :lol:

Well there's three classics that I grew up with to, I didn't own one of them, all taped off on some cheap TDK's.......thinking about it I didn't even ever own a Spectrum :lol: .

My good friend was given a 1K B&W ZX81 for Christmas from the Kays catalog and received a 16K instead, that didn't work so he sent it back and months later they sent him a colour 48K Spectrum (still for the price of the 1K one), result! I do remember the cover art for the three games mentioned though and really loved them, the one game that I feel still really holds up well though from the Spectrum is Knight Lore, that game's amazing.
