Not Many Old Games had opportunity to have soundtrack with them. Watching YT I have seen Revenge of Gobots (hearing Schroeder made me go and search for more of his compositions, absolutely 80's best electronic tunes) or Silpheed (it was when Adlib was becoming popular for short period of time).

Just Cause 2 on atari, go (just like GTA on colecovision commercial parody xD)

@PituDitu I remember OutRun having a tape too. Some great tunes in that game.

I used to have an Atari-ST borrowed from a family member but had to give it back and have been ST-less since. Need to get back into it.

[thejoyofsticks]

@markvergeer Yes, you do! ;)

You can pick up a base 520 STFM on eBay for very cheap. It's all you need to get your game on, really. Only when you start to look at the later releases or demos do you need to worry about 1MB or STE. Come on, YouTube needs more ST content! :D

@JimPlaysGames Excellent. I have homework to do! It's a stark contrast to today's games and their hand-holding tutorials, is it not?

[JimPlaysGames]

@thejoyofsticks yeah I would have been totally lost in Carrier Command if not for a video I found that describes how it works pretty well. I mention it in the video and there's a link to it in the description for the Amiga version so if you have any trouble with it that might be worth checking out.

@bluetonic78 I think you can see the disbelief on my face when I open Carrier Command! I think I'm going to struggle to play the cassette - I have no cassette player in the house! I might have to look for an mp3 download on the internet (not very old school now, is it?)

[thejoyofsticks]

@JimPlaysGames Lots more gameplay videos to come! I'm doing my top ten favourite games, and I plan to do a video of all the games in my 'core' collection.

[thejoyofsticks]

@JimPlaysGames Your welcome! I'll check out your playlist later, as well as your Carrier Command video (I need the help, it looks very complicated!)

[bluetonic78]

Carrier Command looks in absolutely mint condition - which is a feat in itself coming from ebay! Love the inclusion of the cassette as that is old skool at it's finest! :)

I'm scratching my head here at the ST's relevance to Just Cause 2 on the 360 but i'm sure it'll be somewhat obvious by the time you get round to making the video.......on a somewhat related side note it's nice to see something a little different with your 360 inclusion despite being a predominantly ST based channel.
