"B17 bawmeer"

Asteroids was good, along with advanced dungeons and dragons

Just found 8 intellivision games

Including Lock 'n' Chase

NACRO

lock n chase- now you're talking!

like the game bank panic from the arcades.

Do the weird looking gold disc controllers still work!

I bet you find after an hour the whole lot will be back in the loft.

I still have a colecovision sat around somewhere with zaxxon and the smurfs game (hangs head in shame)

I wonder where ours is.........

Two player combat that's what you want to do after the pub!

NACRO

Combat with ping pong firing tanks, best for some friendly post pub rivalry.

iain atkins

And guess what Atari game was with the others. . . . . COMBAT

And the controllers for the intellivision do work , just tried it

You can buy what just looks like the old Atari joystick however it is a mini-cnsole with 10 great old Atari Games. It just plugs into the AV or SCART socket of your tv and off you go! Its about 24 quid from Argos!

Vtec virgin

Pong's my favourite...

I saw the joystick with built in games too, it was about £25 quid in EB / Game IIRC !!

I think i shall have make a purchase soon, pong especially when ya hammered is soo much fun.........happy memories.

2600 is a wooden classic. Personal favourite game was good ole Combat in the 2 player invisible mode. Brilliant

Hawk17

Definitely agree....2-player combat....brilliant!!!!

Had a marathon combat session last summer after a BBQ, too many beers and a rummage in the loft!

Ru$$Rip

Look what me and my m8 are building!!
