Loved the speedball games. Agree there's Rocket League potential there.

I think the last time I saw a ray tracing demo that actually made me take notice was that Lego Builder game from three or four years ago.

I remember the ST version of Kick Off 2 not having nets in the goals. Us Amiga gods laughed at those peasants.
In other news. Just sold my PS5 on FB for £320. That's a nice wedge towards the professional playstation number 5.

Loved my Atari ST. Loved, loved, loved. The discs, the shareware, the OS, the tinkering. Fun times.
Bought an Amiga 500 as well obv, so no gloating plz.

C64 and Rob Hubbard say hello Yeah. I mean of that era. C64 before that was unassailable. Rob Hubbard's Sanxion loader is a fucking magnificent thing.
Talking of Thalamus... I've got the Thalamus collection for my Super Pocket (which plays Evercade stuff) and it DOESN'T have Sanxion, which is just silly. It does however have Creatures 1&2. My god. How good are they. Still.
See. Who needs a PS5 pro when you can play C64 classics on a little handheld device!

Haha, yeah we posted at the same time. I was referring to the post above yours, but I'll happily go down the Rob Hubbard rabbit hole! Some of his tunes are just remarkable. Knuckle busters, delta, one man and his druid. And Martin Galway too. Parallax, green beret. Christ, you'd just leave it playing the loading music for ages before you even started playing. Wizball too. Classics. |

Another C64 kid here. Rob Hubbard (plus Martin Galway, Ben Daglish, etc.) made a massive impact on young me. I'd sometimes load games just to listen to the tunes Fusion Retro still have a few copies of this left, if anyone's interested: fusionretrobooks.com/products/master-of-magic-rob-hubbardAnd if anyone's unaware, Rob's been back doing new (retro) projects for a few years now: |

Also Commodore weren't bloody stupid in putting the mouse and joystick ports underneath the keyboard, that was mental.

As someone fractionally too young for that generation it looks like everyone in the thread is getting carried away with random word generators.

I'm pretty sure that was their naming strategy at the time.

Can’t be talking about c64 games and soundtracks without mentioning Driller. What a game. What a soundtrack! Hard as nails and really fucking spooky as well.
