**chupachups** · November 26th, 2010, 02:52 AM

oh, for all those that miss chuckie egg, elite etc on the BBC computer, you can now freely download the beebem emulator and 1000s of bbc disk images containing games etc from

www.stairwaytohell.com

for all those that miss the 80s arcade machines, take a look at mame32. the roms are harder to get, but a few years ago I picked up 7 DVD-R filled to the brim with 8k and 16k rom images...donkey kong, pac man, space invaders, galaga

both emulators seem to be 99.99% accurate in graphics and speed

I don't know that I could ever really put my ten games in a sort of true order, but I can give a list of ten, anyway.

Grand Prix Legends (PC)- For people choosing console race games as true simulations, do yourself a favour and try one of the real hardcore PC sims. A stunning and immensely challenging re-creation of 1967 Formula 1 racing, and the first great multi-player racer as well. I've put in lots of time on console sims, too, but they just don't compare to the best PC efforts.

iRacing (PC)
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (various)
Half-Life (PC)
Civilization 2 (PC)
Half-Life 2 (PC)
Ultima IV (Amiga)
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (various, but best on PC)
Grand Prix 2 (PC)
Sim City 2000 (PC)

Everything invented and created by the great John Carmack and his engines, licensed to be used in a multitude of other games.

**tony_grego** · December 2nd, 2010, 02:20 PM

(No order, of course)

Space Invaders
Flight Simulator (since Spectrum version)
Football Manager (since Spectrum version)
Warcraft II, III, ...
Civilization II, III, IV...
Ghost Recon
Commandos
Freddy Hardest (Amstrad)
Scuba Dive (One of the first played)
Afterburner

... And just remember a game played in the arcades... It was a penguin pushing ice blocks... I don't remember his name, but was very funny. I spend a lot of coins playing.

Salut !

In no order at all either

1) Resident Evil 2 (PS1)
2) Panzer Commander (PS1)
3) Dune Battle For Arrakis (MD)
4) Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
5) Silent Hill 3 (PS2)
6) Uncharted Drakes Fortune (PS3)
7) Deus Ex (PS2)
8) Resident Evil 4 (PS2)
9) Kessen 3 (PS2)
10) Assassins Creed (PS3)

Now i would have put Fallout 3 in that list, only i recently finished it and am still mightily pissed

Still some may not have played it yet so i won`t go there , but let me assure you the ending is so not fair

My favorite arcade games include Galaxian and Galaga, Bosconian, Robotron: 2084, Tempest, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Birdie King and so many others whose names I can't remember.

The only PC game I ever really got into was Civilization II. I have Civ IV, but it just didn't grab me. I'd like to get into City of Heroes, because a couple of my friends are into it, but I just haven't yet.
