I remember the PC Engine, had some great games like Rabio Lepus, Legend of Hero Tonma, and the best ever Dracula X - that should have been released outside of Japan as its the best Castlevania game thats been made!

I've just been throwing a load of old computer parts away - and look what I just found :)

Unfortunately it no longer has the peril sensitive sunglasses or the ball of fluff. The space fleet was too small to take a piccy of.

Now - if only I could fit the disc into the drive :)

p.s. I really don't know to keep it or not (just for nostalgia)

I think you should keep it (if you're really going to chuck it, I'll send you the money for shipping and you can send it to me :))

Alternatively try here

(The only problem is there's no save facility!)

Yep - cheers for the link :)

I do actually have a 1,2mb 5.25 inch drive - I guess I can temporarily attach it to copy of the game :)

Looking at the box it says standard level. I'd hate to think what 'Hard' is like.

Retro systems wow my kinda thing!!!

ZX81 was my first puter, I was 5!

Best games were alien rain and 3d monster maze

I then got an atari 2600.

Can I just say Crystal castles??? I loved that game, and the poxy spiderman one where you had to climb the building.

I stepped out of the games thing until I was about 11 and I got a CBM64.
I loved commando, hawkeye, fighter bomber, and bruce lee but the best of the best last ninja 1 and 2.

I then bought an Amiga, plenty of excellent games, but Combat air patroil was worth a mention along with micro machines and supercars 2.

I now own :
CBM 64 with the 1540 disk drive
Megadrive
BBC micro
BBC archimedes
Atari 520 STFM.

The BBC's are going the journey, not sure whether to take em to a car booty or give them to a collector I know.
