RE: The Nostalgia and the Bugs – Gaming was so much harder back then
"Ice cream, Ice cream". Speedball two was one of my favourites. There was nothing more satisfying than using the action replay cartridge to whack all your stats up to 99 and absolutely destroying the opposition.
You can't beat a bit of Treasure Island Dizzy. Not sure if you were a speccy or C64 user, but that game was HARD. Death was really death, and you could only carry 3 items at once (which i still think is generous for an egg with arms). I am trying to work out what exactly to revisit as part of this tag.
Speedball 2 was awesome, one of the greatest multiplayer games ever. All those tackles, the electrified ball, and of course the wonderful sound of the Ice Cream man... This is what gaming is all about.
I'm a Spectrum guy as well. Played a bit of Dizzy, can't remember which ones, as well as other devilish games such as Head Over Heels, Back to Skool, The Great Escape, and of course, plenty of stuff from Ultimate.
Ocean, Ultimate, Codemasters... Anything from these guys was a must-play back then.
