   Oh, I've still got a couple of tapes floating around, I'd like to see
what's on them 8^)

 BO>> After 5 years of Amiga and PC, I still say games were  more fun on the

 BR> games don't compare these days, sorry but its true.

   Some genres like Adventures/RPG's undoubtedly the Amiga/PC/etc have
better games.  But I don't think shoot-em-ups and platform games have
advanced much, if anything other than in graphic quality.  There has been
only *ONE* game on the Amiga in the last five years that has grabbed me as
much as when I first got the likes of Paradroid, Uridium and Impossible
Mission.  That game?  The all-time greatest sports sim on any platform -
SpeedBall II 8^)

   Don't get me wrong though, I'm getting a beefy PC at some time in the
future for real computing and certain games, I just wanna get a c64 for a
spot of nostalgia.  I am not going to pay much for one 8^)

  Byeeeee.
