I had a 64. Loved those old RPGs with no graphics and having to reload the golf game I had about 5 times before it would work. Anyone else play ELITE the space game? Loved it......

Retro graphics ;D Not seen that b4 but I'll bet you wouldn't get a self-respecting gamer on this today. Anyone of that ilk would rather be dead than seen with these which were at the sharp end of it's day. I remember some program on TV had some kid go round for a week with an old Walkman with cassette tapes. You should have seen the looks he had from his friends and other kids in general. It was like - what is this or where have you come from? But hey, in it's heyday you were king if you had one of those.

You can still download Elite and play it on the PC. www.abandonia.com/en/games/113/Elite.html

.... I'm locked in the 80s if truth be told hehehehheee We didn't want to say I had an 80s Walkman which survived all the way into the last decade. Still worked last time I saw it which was around 5 years ago. Can't for the life of me find it now.
