@JamesPond47 @ausretrogamer Now Auckland .. nothing but giant walrus's and volcanoes up there. 🌋
We'll keep an eye on that one from a safe distance.
😄
(That New Zealand map still looks like it was drawn by a four-year-old.) 🤣
@BitmapsRetro We are so freaking lucky these days. We can find out just about everything about anything that happened in the retro days. Its like every game we ever got is now a directors cut special edition, with fifteen hours of extra footage and commentary tracks. I blimmin well love it. 😁
@CommodoreBlog I can't help but note: That video is a C64 emulator (Magic64) running within an Amiga emulator (WinUAE) on Windows. 🤓 The temptation to load it up into WinXP in VirtualBox and run three emulation levels deep is real..
😄
@davidmt @SyntaxErrorSoft Love Phoenix.
Always took a chance to play it whenever I saw it at the arcade. 👍
@JazRignall There was Championship Sprint too. The same game, with a different selection of tracks. 🤔 I think I preferred the Super Sprint tracks, as the tracks in Champ were a little too narrow to navigate easily. (Or maybe it's just that I'm getting old, and need a spinner for MAME.) 😁
@JazRignall And the graphics on those info-screens between levels. The stylised cars were gorgeous, and I loved the mechanic hacking away at the broken engine. Not to mention the helicopter that would drop off a new car if you managed to destroy yours on a barrier. It sounded so cool. 😎
@JazRignall I really love Super Sprint. As I recall, the cab had a large CRT, and the resolution was so high compared to most other arcade games. But the real joy was that infinitely-spinning steering wheel. I loved those. Spinning it madly, then stopping it to get round corners at speed. 👍
@BitmapsRetro Cool. Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the early Magnetic Scrolls system. It worked great on the C64. I couldn't entirely tell how it worked on the ST, but on the Amiga those menu-scrolls kept on obscuring the top line of text. It's like they never even playtested it. 😐 Stupid system. 😠
@EssexRetro @retrogaminggeek @RetroFun_ @heaaaps @Mike_Rouse @chef_retro @TheRetroAsylum @RetroBoyJon @TelesplashG @retro_b8 @RetroGamesColl I think we got the PC version of that controller when I was helping a friend get a new PC. I'm not usually a fan of joypad controls, but that one was solid. 👍 Nice couple of games to have with it too. 😎
@C64TimeLine I only know this because I had Trailblazer, the original, on disk. So I played it a heck of a lot. 😁
