Still have my graph paper maps of Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades and Champions of Krynn 'gold box' CRPGs I played on my C64 back in the late '80s and early '90s. :)

Snap. Not three feet from my PC are Pool of Radiance, Dungeon Master, Secret of the Silver Blades, Death Knights of Krynn, Eye of the Beholder and 2 of the Savage Frontier games. And I'm sure their boxes are still full of graph paper.

Honorable mentions for Shadoworlds and Hired Guns.

Thankfully they were no that expensive as I killed quite a lot of them back in the days. Most due to playing tennis on split screen with a friend. The rest I blame the Thargoids for.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure the handle of all my sticks were red. Is this a special edition?

The special edition was transparent blue with a silver stick and buttons and autofire.
It's just two standard versions. I guess depended on fabrication year or something.

Good morning ladies and gents....

After a short night sleep pondering what else for games I wasted my life time on.... eeh... nope... having a nasty cold that does not want to go away being the reason, however with my first coffee I was thinking there were those braindead games that you could really just waste a bit of time on if so required. Horizontal scroller for example:

Good morning, Sir!☕
I was one of the absolultly sick who actually finished R-Type, Turrican, Xenon2 and Katakis without trainers/cheats still proud:cool:

Oh and I just remebered x-out and z-out. The first sidescrollers where you could costimize your ship. Also great stuff.

IIRC I played some "flightsim" called "FA-18 Interceptor" or something like that on the Amiga for the first time. On PC I started with "Top Gun: Fire at Will" (poor Will :( ) and "Eurofighter EF 2000" until I finally found the holy grail with Falcon 4.0

On a funny sidenote, I got nostalgic a couple of years ago and bought Falcon 4.0 cheap for a tenner or something on Amazon (on an actual DVD or CD). Since I don't even own a joystick, let alone HOTAS, it's been shelved ever since. But I'll eventually get there. Promise ;)

Oh my… Can't cope with all the memories :eek:

I have another one I played a lot. M1 Tank Platoon. Awesome game.

Also the sound on the Amiga was madness. Soooo awesome.
Xenon II Megablast anyone?

I also fondly remember Speedball 2.
And Popolous, and the successor Power Monger. And another Bullfrog classic Syndicate!

Ah sweet sweet memories...
