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.
