what games do you remember playing on it?Originally Posted by Danuve
as for me:
amstrad when i was about 4 which my dad got off some dude at work
had a bunch of crappy games, none of which stand out in my memory.
BUT ... i was totally blown away when
my uncle gave me his sega megadrive and the game Truxton
laugh if you like but this game WAS the game for me. i played it nonstop on friday nights and saturday mornings (the only time my parents would allow me to play on the sega). my uncle also gave me a couple of joysticks which were even cooler to use than the normal pads for an arcade shooter. id be fixated in front of that game for hours, often gripping the joystick so hard that ridges would form in the skin on my hands where it was moulding itself to the seams in the plastic.
i remember when i first completed it too. took me about a year of playing it to finally beat the game (on easy) and i got so overexcited that i couldnt stand still for about 5 minutes, i was full of adrenaline and childish exhuberance... then came the heavy realisation that the game would never be as fun again since id completed it and also the ENDING ****ING SUCKED.
Twas defeat in the arms of victory. a most melancholy day indeed.
