Glad you Included head over Heels, no 8-bit game collection would be complete without that. The same goes for Elite, but I could never get my head round it so Elite's not in my personal top 20.
Nice to put a voice to the vids mate - hopefully you'll pitch up more often with a voiceover as I think it makes the videos a lot more personal and interesting.
Yep, a top 20 list is subjective that's for sure but you've covered some classics that I had myself back in the day such as Batman, Navy Seals, Shinobi etc....... look forward to watching part 2!
@retrocomputerkidkris Thanks mate - I loved my 6128 too disk loading made me so happy! :) I'm going to watch your Amstrad The Beginning vid shortly :)
I did not even know what an Amstrad was until I subscribed to your channel. And I don't know how that happened either. Glad it did though I enjoy your videos lol. Keep up the good work man :).
@Xyphoe Nope but I will. Whats an emulator you recommend? I do most of my emulation on my PSP but I doubt there is an emulator for Amstrad for it. I would appreciate an emulator recommendation and a few roms to start out with :).
Ok, you have to help me here. What is the name of the game appearing at 00:09 ? The 3rd image, after Grizzor. That game, I've seen it in an old mag, but I could not remember the name...
i removed my old message response to that moron.. didnt want the bad language all over your chan... not fair.. he just got right up my nose.. and i swear like a trooper any chance i get :)
@hewey999 It was just one person, who's clearly mentally unstable dribbling incoherently on his keyboard. His last comment and my response to it doesn't need to stay up here, so they've been deleted.
@sheepthehack Yea no worries man, I totally agree - I cringe when I hear my voice/commentary's back 'cause that's not really how I talk in real life, or at least I think I do! You referring to this vid or the others I've done since? As this was my first vid of me speaking in so yea... was a bit nervous!!
@Xyphoe Your a great bloke.. dont listen to me man.. i was just playing :) your vids have really improved from the first. (obviously :) ) and your clearly more relaxed now talking to the audience.. everyone hates hearing their own voice.. but take it from someone that isnt you :) your voice is fine to listen to.. good tone.. nice accent.. everything works great... not to mention your vids are fun and informative.. you clearly put in the effort for us lot.. which i for 1 appreciate.. tnx m8y :)
throughly enjoyed the video dude :0) the opening sequences and pics of cpc's was really slick and your voice is pretty good too seeing your first voice over on a youtube vid... good selection of games too they would be in most people's fav cpc games list.
Fabulous upload, many thanks. I had a CPC 464 back in the day, still have the games although the machine is long gone!
Just bought an emulator on ebay, i`d highly recommend it to all you classic 80`s gameplay heads..... like me!!!
My favourites.... Sorcery, Way of the Exploding Fist and Football Manager!
