Exile was an amazing game, once it had loaded in it had everything it needed. Nightmare to complete though, I think the developers can a competition going with a prize for the first person to contact them after completing it, I think it took a good few weeks at least before anyone managed it! The problem the game had was it was possible to end up in a position where it was impossible to complete it, and you had to either restart or go back to a previous save point. Exile was ground-breaking when it was released on the BBC since it used virtually every byte of ram the machine had, even chunks that were hidden in the system that they weren't supposed to be using.
I had Last Ninja 2 but could never get passed the croc in the sewers, but I was rather young when that game was released. I had a demo of LN1 on the Achimedes, it may have been the remix version, I'm not sure, but it had had some vast graphical improvements, like 8 bit colour!
Quote: "I have to agree, those are still fairly recent games. Still, when they finally do get classified as retro games, I can start reminescing about the good old days, and that will be fun"
I'd say a game can be considered retro either when it's more then 10 years old or then you can't actually buy it anymore unless it's 2nd-hand!
Rich - Did you know there was a Stryker's Run 3? I remember seeing some screen shots but it never got released as far as I know.
The games I remember playing to death back in the 80's were the Repton series and Citidel, that was a freaking nightmare of a game, never managed to get anywhere near completing it! Repton had god knows how many version, I did hear someone was trying to re-release those on mobile phones!
I don't suffer from insanity:
I enjoy every minute of it!
