KGWHD - Feedback on Xmas Update... - Page 2

So did you have a Beeb or an Electron?

I had an Electron. Damn stupid, incompatible PoS.

And the best place to buy games was..... not WHSmith, or John Menzies or places like that.... wait for it.... it was the local Texaco Petrol station!

They had all the Beeb/electron games for £2.99 each.

My favourite game at the time was, looking back, soooo lame. It was "Escape from Moonbase Alpha".

It wasn't until much later, long after the Electron had been banished to the cupboard, I discovered the delights of games such as: Repton, Gauntlet and some others which escape me...

I had both actually, don't really remember the Electron much, in fact the only electron game I had was some weetabix game that came free on a box IIRC.

I remember the Beeb much more, I think I had moonbase alpha actually, I'll have to dig up a piccy to see...

My faves were Felix Meets The Evil Weevils, Castle Quest, Zalaga (Galaga Ripoff), Snapper (Pacman ripoff), Ravenskull, and of course the Repton games.

Oh and stairway to hell was good fun too. Great memories!

I hope that guy finishes the xbox port of BeebEm.

Check all folders carefully this time, before you release it.

Belgarath · 21 December 2007, 17:33

I have no idea what you mean!

killergorilla · 21 December 2007, 21:08

Belg is so happy today!

Oh and by the way, I've added a DAT to the main page if anyone wants it.

21 December 2007, 23:31

Hey everyone,

KG, thats awesome commitment to the scene buddy... Thanks heaps.

Could you please just check the link to the dat file? I tried to get it but 404 not found.
(I currently have the packs from the pleasuredome but they are all renamed from your structure - I wanna cleanup before downloading the files that I need... instead of the whole whopping 2.8Gb)
