I miss Dig Dug, Rampage, Centipede. I used to have a coleco-vision console game with cartridges of Mouse Trap, Cabbage Patch Kids game, Donkey Kong... I loved that old game.

These threads always remind me how my parents got rid of my C64. I've still got all the disks, but nothing to play them on.

Dammit.

^ I use vice to watch some demos/intros. BTW, can someone tell me the command to list the files on a disk image ? Thanks in advance
Oh, and for the C64 freaks, there's the unavoidable lemon64.com

What are you all bitching about you moany old gits??? Your parents played with hoops and balls.. and bit's of string.. and broken twigs..or they read books and wrote poetry.. and played word games.. or cowboys.. and fairy princesses.. and you thought they were boring old farts.

Then you got to go to your first arcade.. or if you were lucky you got one of those primitive consoles and screwed your eyes up with ping pong all night. And your parents thought you were rude, unimaginative, uncreative brats wasting you time completely. Have you forgotten already? Does it only take half a single generation to become as dumb as the one that preceded it? I think some are just jelous with the speed that their own children are making them feel redundant. Don't forget it's almost entirely adults.. or your own generation that are creating these games.. hmm

We all sit here tapping our ideas on a keyboard thinking we are cutting edge.. one day people will just project their thoughts into a forum (if will still be called that) by simply stroking some shiny orb.. and they will call us.. I don't even know what they will call us...

I think some of these modern games are just great.

Wes:

Check out http://www.c64.com/

Tons of games (odds are that you can DL most of what you have on floppy).

And if you happen to have a PocketPC-gadget you can DL a C64-emulator for that.
(I've tried playing some C64-games on my iPAQ. A great way to spend commuting time )
That app is located at: http://www.clickgamer.com/pocketc64/


For PC I'd recommend CCS64

Mario Sunshine!
I have no problems with the controls. In a game like that, I'll run around like a madman until it's all pure reflex. Having the FLUDD is a very welcome addition to the Super Mario universe. It seriously opens up the game to alternative routes. Don't want to ride the swing ships to that last red coin? Just hover over to the cages and take it from there.

My gripe with Sunshine is the obstacle courses. One little slip and you are doing the whole thing all over again. I didn't mind the first few, but they get insanely hard. What's up with having to bounce off of flying pigs?
