If you are in the UK and can get to London, why not check out the Extreme Computing festival 2002:
http://www.xcom2002.com/index.php CAPS (http://www.caps-project.org) is very likely to be there showing a bit of the technology at our stall and handing out a limited amount of free copies of Abandoned Places 2 + we will probably have some Amiga games to play at the stall if I can lug an Amiga up there. Any suggestions on good games? I thought Skidmarks since I have a 4 player adaptor, and SOTB - can anyone think of any others? Obviously I am limited to what games I have (originals only) - but I do have 500-odd so there should not be too much of a problem. Suggest away! There will be other great retro-gaming people going including developers from the C64 and Speccy era. See the site for more details. Anyway, if you fancy coming along to challenge us at a few games or just want to pop along for a chat then please do! It is on Sunday 9th June and is only £3 entry - be there and be square. ![]() Last edited by fiath; 23 May 2002 at 18:42. |

Thanks for that.
I don't have KGS - shame - that game would rock - if only for the music... ![]() Worms is a very good suggestion... We can have loads of players on that one. I don't think I have the Directors Cut though - what is difference? Any more ideas? We have about 8 hours to kill guys... Also if anyone is planning to go, then let us know! |

@Burseg: What a good suggestion! Sensi must be played wherever there is an Amiga and more than one person. It's the law.
@Fiath: Worms DC is like 'Worms 1.5', basically - A1200 only, AGA gfx, a smattering of new weapons, etc. Good game! My own suggestion: Slamtilt. Fabulous, fast, furry fun. Up to 8 players showing their pinball prowess. Although being keyboard-controlled, a hell of a lot of seat-swapping is required. Same true of Worms, unless it's CD32 Worms, with CD32 pad control. All great games so far! (Although I freely admit to not being all that great at Speedball 2. But I do hold a Masters in Super Skidmarks). |

Cheers guys, okay - going through them:
Bomberman - Cool, I don't have that though, but wasn't there a really good PD version I got use? Speedball 2 - Oh yes! The games you forget about - it's discusting. ![]() Sensible Soccer - Yes, I will have to bring along Kick Off 2 too seeing as I expect many people will ask for that... Slamtilt - Yeah, I got this one too - the day would not be complete without pinball I reckon! I also thought of Super Stardust - since it looks so damn sweet! All great suggestions so far! Keep 'em coming! ![]() I think Cody will be joining me on the stall - any of you guys thinking of dropping by? ... Any challenges to a game of 'X' will be returned with sweet victory on our part ![]() I also thought we hold a competition on one of the games... Not sure what we will be giving out though - maybe CD's of PD games that they asked me to bring. ![]() |

![]() Chaos engine would be my suggestion for a game. Maybe Chaos engine 2 if you prefer competitiveness. |

@fiath : instead of Bomberman you can use Masterblaster (DP) the best bomberman clone. If you have an internet connexion you could also try Dynamite !

Very nice Cody, thanks
![]() ![]() As for the rarity aspect of the titles, the Ultima VI box, this is the European release then? It has a Mindscape sticker on it, I think the N. American version just said Origin Systems and Electronic Arts as I beleive they owned Origin at that point. So this probably means that Mindscape was the distributor for this title overseas then. EDIT: I suppose having the C64 version of Times of Lore doesn't count :hoo |

Is that the original release of Paradroid 90? I heard that is extremely rare! I have a copy but only as part of a compilation (Award winners; with kickoff 2, space ace, populus and of course, paradroid 90) Not as good as yours though

Yes, this the European release, distributed by Mindscape. Ultima 6 is surprisingly rare.

That's the original Paradroid 90 - I got it in an online auction among a load of other games, so not many people must have noticed it.
Paradroid 90 in Award Winners 1? I thought it was Pipe Mania, along with Populous, Kick Off 2 and Space Ace. |
