Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Any computer games fans? (we need a gamers icon!)

I currently have a Commodore Amiga 500, with commodore colour monitor, An Atari ST 1040 with an ATARI monochrome monitor, a SEGA megadrive, a SEGA Game gear, an ATARI lynx, a ZX spectrum 48k, and a Commodore 64, and a gameboy.. I just don't have the time to mess about with them, though I do have my Amiga set up and I occasionally play on that, I had to change the internal disk drive on it recently when it broke..

As a kid I only ever had an Acorn Electron, which meant major games envy with my mates who had spectrums and C64s and the SEGA master system, though later we did get a megadrive and an Amiga..but my favourite game was Elite anyway, which I spent many hours playing on Sunday mornings before anyone else got up (was only allowed to play on the main TV in the living room).

Elite was amazing. I had to get my brother to play up to the point of getting the autopilot docking computer, but after that I bloody loved it :)

Elite? Was that the space trading game? Me and G1ngerevolution (formerly of this parish) were obsessed with a version for, of all unlikely things, the PalmV

I had an Amstrad CPC 464, the one with the green screen monitor before you all get jealous 🤢.

Used to share a flat with a Snes owner. We'd flick between Mario Kart on the Snes and NHL Hockey on the Megadrive. NHL hockey was bundled with the original Madden, played both, the original FIFA and micro machines too much in my final year at Uni.

micro machines 3 on PSX was an obsession at one point.

BTW, in case anyone wonders, yes, Fantasian is every bit as good as I'd hoped. And much better than Chaos Rings 3, although really still for JRPG nerds only. I'm liking it very much.

Never owned this, but we rented it one weekend and a friend brought two extra controllers and 4 of us played it to death.
