For me, it's Astro Nell for the VIC-20 and Legend of Zelda: Link's awakening for the GB. Astro Nell is a nice game, working from an unexpanded machine, and in Link's awakening, I'm up to level 2 ;-). So, what's everyone else been playing?
Regards,
Shaun.

I've been replaying some of my all time favourite PC games: Ultima 7 (using Exult http://exult.sourceforge.net/), Starcontrol 2 (now open source and playable on modern PCs: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/) and UFO: Enemy Unknown.
I've also been heavily into SNES games for a while now (although I never owned a real SNES), especially some of the great Japanese games that have been translated recently, e.g. Shin Megami Tensei 1&2, Front Mission: Gun Hazard, Chrono Trigger and Bahamut Lagoon. When it comes to gameplay and originality I think the old SNES RPGs from companies like Squaresoft still hold their own against the best of the latest games.

I'm playing Alphaman, home of the underdogs has a review (but no download of it) about it. It's a rouge like game set in a post nuclear fallout era, in new york, which happens to be the entire world.
I'd provide a link to the review and an ED2K download link, but it was removed once.

| secret of mana on the snes, it has to be in my opinion the best(with exception to it's big brother, sieken densetsu 3) and only game that gets an aring on my aging snes and on the c64 the terminator 2 bundle cartridge, with modern music maker and that weird paint program with 16 true colours and 16 mixed colours but the best bit of the cartridge if you wobble it out slightly so certain pins on the cart shorts, (or alternatively use the grounding wire on the datacassete to the back of any c64 plug) you get a very strange "emergency game" version of space invaders if only games (In my opinion) today were as playable old skool ones were i would still be happy (or is it because i cant afford a dogs balls rig lol)

Wow, what a lot of fun this game is! Not to sure about the remixes (it's a starbase rave!) But very good none the less. Here's hoping that the non alpha includes mouse support!

Still play a game called Raptor which I originally played on a 486 DX 66mhz system many years ago. It works with XP without any patches and indeed has worked on all windows versions. Another old game is Tyrian although this is a poor relation to the above. The last real retro games I played were Underworld and Ultima 8 on the speccy some years ago before I gave the machine and all the games to my neices who trashed it!! I am now left with about 50 Speccy games on tape but no way to play them as I am reluctant to pay the high price for a machine even on Ebay. If anyone wants any specific Speccy games then let me know and I will post for free.
