Reg Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 We now live in such a world where we are so politically correct that it just highlights the need for the old days and perhaps why retro is so fondly looked back on. What official games do you recall on the old platforms that would likely never be made today ? I'll start with this one - due to the way babies can be killed... ...or murdered if you used to pick them up and put them by items of distress. Obviously the objective was to save them... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearecity Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I remember Super Trolley, not that I owned it, I think. There is possibly a video of the program somewhere on the net I guess. But the story behind it, is a kid wrote in, saying they wanted to write and publish a game (or words to that affect) and naturally Jim fixed it for them. I owned Mad Nurse, it was one of many crappy £1.99 titles and play them for less than 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 How about New York Blitz where you control a plane over the Manhattan skyline and you have to bomb the skyscrapers so you can land your plane and if you don't you end up flying your plane into the side of one of the skyscrapers. Im sure the building on the cover looks like the World Trade Centre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted November 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Very eagled eyed, yes ! I had to search - this game is also available on eBay at the moment.

The Vic was my first computer and I think I had pretty much everything that came out on it by the time I upgraded to the C64. Commodore had their own version which was just called Blitz or Super Blitz on the C64 which had the added bonus of King Kong would appear on top of some of the buildings at random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo1 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 The Getaway 2002 Great game this and the graphics was good but it involved you driving around the streets over London in a sort of open world and across Westminster bridge run people over. i think in today's world gone mad that possibly there would be parts of London that would not be placed in the game. Although would love to see Getaway 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
