granite sheep Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 What's the best way these days to get old classic games on a new system i.e. one that isn't 20yo and liable to fall to pieces?And I dinna mean a PC emulator.I know you can download a few old games on Xbox Live but not many.Any suggestion. I remember the Nintendo Wii had their entire SNES back catalogue available to download at one point or another, also had some C64 games too (anyone mind Uridium?) I got a Sega Megadrive collection on the 360 fae HMV a couple of years back, piles of old games on there. Taito, Capcom, Midway put out classics collections a few years back on PS2 and original Xbox, you should be able to get them on Live. Link to comment
granite sheep Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I find out the other day that Xbox One punters are getting a re - release of the first 4 Halo games, remastered as "The Master Chief Collection". Fuck. That. Especially as I've got all the games already, granted, the first is a load of pish these days (even though I got the anniversary edition) but the rest, especially 4 are still immense. Haven't got a One yet but will be grabbing one once it drops in price. Link to comment

Gutted it's not on the Master Chief disc but can see why. 1 Link to comment
granite sheep Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Halo ReachPlaying it on Heroic just now. Found the best way to play it is to drop most of your normal Halo playing style (granted, you still have to in a vehicle or against Hunters) and approach it more like COD, i.e. take cover at all times, let the allies do most of the work, and think of the Elites as fast moving Juggernauts. Makes it even more fun on account of it throwing the computer which expects you to play it as you've been doing for years. Utter fucking hilarity dropping an entire platoon of grunts with head shots while the Elite in the middle stands looking clueless. Link to comment

Doesn't matter what tactics you use, on that difficulty it's crazy. Link to comment

tommo1903 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Rainbow Six - Vegas 2 is the best computer game ever made. Link to comment
granite sheep Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Here, fit games would you class as an "Xmas Game" I. e the game you most associate with Great Christmas Entertainment, in the same way you might think of The Great Escape and other classic war movies? For me it's been alternating between Halo and COD since I got:2008: Modern Warfare 12009: Halo ODST and MW22010: Reach2011: MW3 and Halo Anniversary 2012: Halo 42013: COD Ghosts All fucking classics, but even though I'll fire them up during the year, I still think of them as Xmas games. Or maybe I'm weird. Link to comment

CalgaryDon Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Got hold of GTA San Andreas Anniversary Edition last month, just finished the story. No school like the old school, still the best GTA of them all.Great game though Vice City tops it for me. Looking forward to getting my hands on Batman Arkham Knight and Fallout 4. Currently playing Max Payne 3 on the recommendations of those on here - so far - Quality game. Link to comment
buchanskii Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 just got my copy of fallout 4 for the xbox one cue the teething problems that make the game unplayable until around a 20GB patch is released in two weeks time. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Dusted down my old Atari Lynx and Zjaguar for the first time in a couple of decades the other day. Link to comment
Jocky Balboa Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 just got my copy of fallout 4 for the xbox one cue the teething problems that make the game unplayable until around a 20GB patch is released in two weeks time. The wife and I are away to run back through Fallout 3 and New Vegas before we get 4... that should give enough time for a patch to be released. Link to comment
360 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 just got my copy of fallout 4 for the xbox one cue the teething problems that make the game unplayable until around a 20GB patch is released in two weeks time. My copy for the PS4 is waiting for me at home. I assume there is already a day one patch, so I'll play a bit more Until Dawn until that sorts itself out. Link to comment
granite sheep Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Dinna hae a XBOX One or PS4 so I'm gonna give New Vegas another run through, do it right this time so my mannie is maxed out or close to by the time I do Caesar's camp. Link to comment

1nvent Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 My favourite online game is MU Online. I think that I would play this game forever. I've been playing it for many years, and I am still not bored.The concept of this game is just perfect - you create your own hero and develop his skills whilst playing. I am always finding different cool servers on https://muonline.usand enjoying this game. Link to comment

tightbreeks Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Good review of the c64 in that lefty rag, the guardian, i had a Kempston joystick and like the neo geos, micro switches away. The review forgot about the sid music chip and rob Hubbards musical genius with the machine. Link to comment
