Hello there,
I'm not sure how I ended up joing this site or contributing (games sections only at this stage). But I'm 32, living in Sydney, Australia. I only recently stumbled across all of this stuff...and there I was, transported back to the 80's.
My Dad bought me an Amstrad CPC 464 for xmas 1987 (I think) when we were living in NZ. What a christmas present!!!
It came with the following games:
Into Oblivion, Vampire, The Apprentice, con-quest, Rocky Horrow Show, RadZone & RebelStar (Hence why I started my contributions on those games (and some edits of existing) as those games had a huge impact.
Man, those games kept me busy! The funny thing is, I've only recently finished some of those games! After lots of saving (using WinApe). I never seemed to be able to finish games as a kid - maybe I didnt have enough patience or probably because you couldn't 'Save' your position.
- UPDATE: Still haven't finished Into Oblivion or The Apprentice. Vampire, Streaker, Destructo, Ghostbusters, RebelStar, Con-Quest are completed. Closure.
I remember the anticipation and excitement as those cassette tapes were ever so close to loading and I could start playing!!!
- Hello mate, and welcome to the Wiki! I'm very happy that you've found and joined us for a variety of reasons: it's always great to rediscover something and every time someone tells his story I remember mine; you jumped right into it contributing with articles (fantastic, man... just stay away from the CPCGamereviews content!); and, you got Into Oblivion as one of your first games - it was my very first one!
- So, once again: welcome :) Gryzor 16:08, 2 December 2010 (CET)
