Atari 2600!! I remeber those  ;D

I remeber some aircraft dogfight game I had on mine, I thought it was wicked  8)

My mate had a commodore Vic20 that was a weird thing.  Think I went to an Atari800 after the 2600 then after that onto a BBC B micro.

Hi Lads...!
You can still play all your old 8-bit games to your hearts content...
...but this time on your PC, with amazing colour and sound... ;D....!

Just do a search for "Emulators"...

Spectrum.
Commodore.
Atari.
Amiga
Megadrive.
etc....

Cheers all...!

Paul.

You know that using a emulator to play Megadrive games is illegal Fozz. Sega's been busy porting some of the old games to Gamecube so they're still for sale. I must admit that I love the old Sonic games and I use emulators to play them. Can't be bothered dragging the old Genesis out. Got too much hooked up to the TV already.

Sill one of the best games around. They're legal if you own the original game cart. Here's Sonic & Knuckles
