  1. Re:Good but Dull by Zukix · · Score: 1 · on BBC Micro Creators Reunite In London

    Quite right : Revs, Elite, Thrust were not just good but true classics.

    I also loved Exile, The Last Ninja, Starport, Commandos, Football Director and many more. All polished and great fun games. Those written by Peter Scott tended to be of the quality of the emerging 16-bit world. I tended to play them from the Play it again Sam series of compilations that were affordable and cherry picked the best games.

    I don't get half the fun out of Bioshock, Crysis etc. that I used to get out of those games but I realise its an age thing.

  2. Re:So... by Tim+Browse · · Score: 2, Informative · on Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype
    Mode 7 never sounded so good in the UK, as it was also the name of the teletext graphics mode of the BBC Micro, a popular home computer of yore.

    So basically, Mode 7 graphics = shit :)

  3. Repton 3 by tedDancin · · Score: 3, Informative · on Superior Software Discusses Exile, Repton

    No remake could ever beat Repton 3. Check out BeebGames for more games, including a large collection of Superior Software games (scroll down on the left-hand nav), as well as AcronSoft and a whole heap of smaller companies games that didn't take off. Oh, and don't forget the emulators. (:

    *sigh*.. they don't make 'em like they used to.

  4. BBC game covers? by tedDancin · · Score: 5, Informative · on Celebrating Bad Game Packaging Art

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that games for the BBC microcomputer had some of the worst cover images around. Looking back to Barbarian II (love the boobs!), Frak!, or even Spycat brings back disturbingly nightmarish images from my childhood.
