Bts - the not-very-good console games show that is just one big ad, really. Posted Mon Oct 16 01:42:04 BST 2000 by 'Caroline'

I feel dirty - I just participated in their "golden age of videogames" poll. I did it cos I really care, though. Golden age of video games? Arcade games 84 thru 86 (Nemesis (Konami), SideArms (Capcom), Paperboy (Atari), Bomb Jack (Tekhan), Arkanoid (taito), Teddy Boy Blues (Sega) and Gauntlet (Atari)).
This is probably typical of anyone aged 24.
Best non-arcade game? Wizball, C64.
Not about comedy, but still important.

That is all.

Caroline

Not a video game, but "The Hobbit" on the ZX Spectrum

"You cannot attack Thorin with the Troll's Path"

Oh no, sorry, that was "Valhalla".

Apparently there were 3 dragons: Skadi, Nasher and Nidhog.

You can download Spectrum simulation software and the original games, from various sites. Try searching on 'ZX Spectrum'.

You are standing next to a tree in a garden. To your east is a large door. You have an amulet.

The girls are cute, though, and of course, that's all that matters.
For an excellent Top 50 Games Ever, see www.gamebroth.co.uk.
Although it omits what is scientifically the best game ever, Joust.
