Some soccer simulator on the c64. But the real deal began with the Mega Drive and some weird crystal-tetris-clone, don't know the name now. @Ray: Nah, you are just awesome ;) The Sirus fight is a disgrace.	Posted by ghamadvar on Jul 11, 2016, 7:15:43 AM Quote this Post

Loved "The Red Baron" and some submarine game I played back in the Stone Age. Had a screen in the cabinet back-lit through multiple transparencies which projected quasi-animated images (almost like shadow-puppets, but in detailed color), and pretty good sound effects, too! =^[.]^= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =[.]= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie	Posted by Raycheetah on Jul 11, 2016, 12:00:03 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I didn't get fully into gaming with the first games I played,it wasn't until I came across games like Meglomania (Atari,Amiga) and Supremacy(C64,MSX) I got more into them.	Posted by Kavlor on Jul 12, 2016, 3:10:18 AM Quote this Post
^ ooooh Mega-lo-mania!! Fond memories and great game! btw personally I'm almost 44, but I believe I'm older than most PoE players... "Metas rotate all the time, eventually the developers will buff melee" PoE 2013-2018	Posted by Wazz72 on Jul 12, 2016, 4:49:11 AM Quote this Post
