daily Thompsons Decathlon on Atari 2600 was ridiculous doing 1500m worse than actually running it . Remember passing joystick round family to finish it ahah
Yeah there's one near the football stadium in Blackpool I believe. It got strong opposition when it was being planned though which is why it took so long for it to open.
Manic miner and football manager on Spectrum Missile Command in arcade. There was a gaming arcade on shambles street till mid 80's and I was so good on missile command I could literally have played it all day for 10p. If there was a world championship then Id have won!! Edit: Honourable mention for the Hobbit on spectrum. 'Kill Bilbo', 'Kill Thorin' never seemed to work though
Food pricing is great there too! My personal favourites are Bishi Bashi, the dancing game you play with your hands on a circle shape (cannot remember the name), House of the Dead 3 and pinball. It’s walking distance from my house so I’ve wasted many an hour there.
Or Swos as it became, and Kick off 2 as well which were my favourite footy games. Track n field (and Daley Thompson's) which knackered your wrist and fingers lol. Ohh and Cannon fodder, which had a controversial theme and got into trouble with the BL and the newspapers.
Spectrum Manic Miner Jet Set Willy Daley Thompson Decathlon Ghosts and Goblins The Boss Match Point Grand National Match Day Bruce Lee SNES Mario Kart Sensi Soccer Bomberman PS/XBox gen PES until about 2000 Goldeneye COD series Assassin's Creed series PGA golf Olympics games G1 Jockey Just off top of my head. Other than Assassin's and COD I've not played any other game in 10+ years though, and not turned my current console on for about 2 years.
Buzz quiz on ps3 best game ever when having a few round for party can’t believe they stopped doing it. Been tempted to buy ps3 since converting garage to a bar. We had 8 buzzers and all games, really good laugh
Just loaded an emulator onto my steam deck. Playing Super Mario World from the SNES at the minute. Still brilliant.
Great thread bringing back some great memories! Started with Pong in early 70's before getting an Atari 2600. Had various games systems over the years - currently got Xbox! Favourite game of all time is Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube - absolute classic! Half Life 2 isn't bad either. Enjoy COD games and Red Dead as well. Got a few retro games - Kung Fu Master was my go to go along with Ghosts N Goblins
