Oh MY God

I cant believe that no1 has mentioned Half Life the all time greatest game for gameplay and lastabilty. Half life is still around in counter strike form and it was made in 97 for gods sake.

Besides who wants to sit around playing adventure or roleplays when u can clock an FPS in 6hrs?

Improves reaction time which can be usfull for avoiding unwanted incidents :roll:

Oh and of course GT3/ concept goes without saying

pong taken to a new level..

oh and that reminds me of pang.. who would of thought shooting baloons with harpoon like spikes could be so addictive

hmm.. there goes work for today.. the rest of my day will be spent thinking about old games :P

The game was called Twin cobra. Awesome powerups!

good to see ph1 another hard core old school game lover.

None of this boring doom clone games that is flooding the markets these days.

What about Turrican? That was one awesome game too!

I have so many emulators at home for all different systems. I love my old school games.

What about links golf?

Lemmings?

Back in the old days graphics were shit but gameplay was great.

Now the games are just shallow rehashes of each other.

wasnt links for the pc?

hmm yeah turrican was good, and that reminded me of Gods :P

and the earlier bitmap brothers classics, xenon and xenon 2

vertical scrolling bliss

hmm, and darius, r-type clone on the amiga

yeah i agree, games today are shallow with no challenge... quick save has killed gameplay...

3 lives is all anyone needs to complete a game :)

which was the one with the betty boo songs? xenon 2? or gods?

all i know is I worshipped the bitmap brothers heh

yah xenon 2 was mad, the shop to buy powerups was cool, once you had most of the weapons you were pretty much unstoppable..

also left/right and up/down scrolling, and having to scroll back down the screen when u took the wrong path heh

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
