Techinically these are all still copyright of Amiga, so Ive removed the link.

Theyre not that difficult to find and some people who are looking for them might even magically find the link in their PMs

Noted - apologies for the rule breakage.

No problem. I realise it wasnt deliberate.

I do know that, whoever owns the Kickstart ROM copyright - I think its still amiga - have gone after other sites in the, recent, past. And with the recent demise of Megaupload, its easier to just not having anything on the site at all, rather than take the risk.

NES

Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3 (all amazing and still as good today)
Mega Man 1,2 3 and 4 (cant believe no one has mentioned these!!) 2 was best!
The legend of zelda
TMHT
Probotector
Duck tales
and shitloads more...

Anyone whos not played on a NES should really get onto ebay asap, easily the best console ever with loads of amazing games.

I loved my NES but the SNES was the daddy IMO. Zelda A link to the past is still one of the most accomplished games ever made. Absolutely stunning.

Aye the Snes was class aswell, Mario Kart!!

Other greats were-
Donkey kong country
Super Mario allstars
Street fighter 2
Zelda
Im sure theres loads more, cant really think of them though, sim city maybe.

Id have the NES as the best though, PS1 second and Snes third.

The NES and SNES were ace but the king of consoles is the Mega Drive.

Finally, after most of my life, I've completed Bart Versus the Space Mutants on my Amiga Emulator.

First game I ever cheated on. Oh the memories of the day my dad brought home the Amiga bundled with bart vs space mutants, lemmings, captain planet and deluxe paint. Nearly blew my tiny 7 year old brain out.

i used to play a football game on the spectrum with a friend of mine with me on the keys and him with the joystick, i realised that if i pressed all QAOP and space at the same time his player would release the ball and run away from it! great fun with him going mental about it.

fond memories of 3d deathchase, robocop , r-type and a game called N.O.M.A.D.

I loved toejam and earl for the megadrive


Indiana jones on the atari

I warmed up my old spectrum a while back and tried to play dizzy but it was bitchin hard.right back to the start if you put a foot wrong.

Spyro the dragon!

Anyone ever played nethack? It's an unbelievably involved ASCII based rpg. I cheated my balls off and worked out how to save a game, still only got to about level 20 or 30 before giving up on it. Takes a long time to get into,but is really awesome when you do. You can get things like a magic lamp, which grants you a wish (unless the Genie comes out and kills you) the scroll of genocide to eliminate a species from the game, you can have pet dragons. Unbelievable level of depth from such a simple looking game.

Give it a blast if your bored, as fun now as when I played it in the 90s, in fact moreso cos you now get wikihack which is pretty much essential to getting anywhere far in the game.

The dreamcast is old skool for a person of my age. Sonic the hedgehog on that was fantastic.

A hugely under-rated console at the time and home to one of the best games ever - Shenmue

I still firmly believe, that with increased funds, SEGA could have pushed Sony in the battle of the consoles in the early 2000s, it was a far better console than the PS2, just it never had the funds to match Sony.

A complete tragedy that the Shenmue series was never completed, it genuinely would have been one of the best series ever.

[Mambostaggie]

Megalomania on the megadrive was brilliant, as was toejam and earl.
