Hello there,
I'm not sure how I ended up joing joining 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.Dad threw in a couple of issues of [[Computing with the Amstrad]] and away we all went - trying to type in those 10 Liners etc. Gosh, we even typed in those checksum codes and wondered what was going on.... ha ha. Good times!
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. However Vampire, Streaker, Destructo, Ghostbusters, RebelStar, Con-Quest are completed. Closure(Some closure there).
I remember the anticipation and excitement as those cassette tapes were ever so close to loading and I could start playing!!!
