Party Vibe

Ive had comps and consoles since the zx81 but Im loving this gens consoles (namely my 360). Did used to love Street Fighter II Turbo on the Snes though. OH and Mariokart.

1985- Grandstand ( simlar to pong but with more games)
1990 Amasrad CPC 464 – In my mum’s attic, was a great machine, we had tons of games for it.
1990 Gameboy sister sole it back
1991 NES – gave away to friends
1993 SNES – Lend to a friend and he never returned it
1993 IBM P that I used to clutter with dos and windows games – fuck knows
1994 another PC with a CD rom so more games!!
1996 another PC with windows 95
1997 PS1 is still working but I doubt I will ever hook it up again
1998 N64 I sold years later for puff
2000 PS2- went in a house burglary : (
2010 XBOX360 still play it

Well I really couldn’t say which one had the most gameplay cos frankly I used to play fuck loads of different games depending what was cool at the time. But the SNES, PC CDrom and the PS1 probably all share the title.

I have actually got an amstrad 464 emulator called game ape. Its ok for an hour or so but it gets a bit boring. For me gaming peaked in the 90’s but other people will tell you otherwise. Todays games are fucking awesome too though

GOLDENEYE on the N64 was the peak for me!! loved having 4 player battles and the lonely 1 player was pretty good also. an analogy of this moment might be an orgasm!… as i loved this game but then one day in a bid to move the television for the sake of equality, i accidentally dropped it on my N64 (and it wasn’t one of these lightweight flat-screens, this was a chubby foot crusher) obliterating my gaming lifestyle in one single moment. after this i completely lost my way and never owned a console again :/

I’ve been playing computer games since about 1978 I recon. Some highlights: Atari 2600, Vectrex, CBS Colecovision, Nintendo SNES + 64, SEGA Megadrive, Sinclair ZX81 + Spectrum, Amstrad, Acorn, BBC micro, Playstation and the trusty old PC of course… 🙂

Stand out games: Elite, Super Street Fighter, Super Mario Cart, Super Mario Bros, f15, Ridge Racer, Duke Nukem 3d, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake, Half Life 1 & 2, and Team Fortress 2.

The amstrad 464 was a pretty nifty machine. develpoers used to like it cos it was very user friendly to program and games like dizzy and other mutli platform titles used to have obvious signs of higher levels of polish on amstrad. We had the amstrad young programers guide that came with it and we would spend hours typing out lines of code form the text book just to see some crappy animation.

Here a link for a good emulator http://www.winape.net/download/WinAPE20A18.zip

its good cos it launches you from the command line insead of just loading the games like other emulator. So if you did want to spend hours typing out code, fire away.

Try something simple like PEN 05 or to run a game on this you have to type RUN’ [INSERT GAME NAME HERE] you can get the games from game ape too. Back in the day you had to press play on the tape deck and press controll , shift and delete to run the start up.
