Nostalgia... it's not a hand cream

[Jocky]

Games for £2.99, £1.99 or even 99p. Thems were the days, and I loved my Spectrum. A few games publishers and budget labels from the bargain bin of my child hood:

Mastertronic's Ricochet budget game label and the awesome Ghostbusters:


The Hit Squad, and Renegade, my first ever (and still one of the best) beat em up game:


US Gold, and the slightly odd Spectrum version, which was amazing by my standards.


Code Masters (anyone heard of them?). Not such a well known game, but I remember it. 2D overhead track, but had 3D physics that helped you around the banked corners.


Ocean took a lot of my pocket money and time. Daley Thompson's Decathlon, and later his 'Super Test' destroyed many, many Cheetah joysticks:


Speaking of which, I'm tempted to find one of these joysticks and stick 360 bits in it:

OutRun disappointed me. The cover art was always so pristine and swish, yet the game itself was ugly as sin... they cheated me... like when you first find out that the cute sexy bunny from Cadbury's Caramel is actually voiced by Tom Baker... sorry, I mean Miriam Margolyes

I miss:

10p mix (from our old corner sweet shop, you actually got about 30pence worth of sweets!)
1/2 pence piece
Sherbet Dips (Thank you A Quarter Of!)
Legend of Mir

You had sexual fantasies about the Cadbury's Caramel bunny?

[MarkuzR]

Yes. Yes I did. Same with Ariel from Little Mermaid... although that obviously wouldn't have been cellulose bestiality.

[Jocky]

But where...? How...?

Actually I don't want to know.

I guess you could have had a MFF threesome - Man, Fish, Furry.

As was once said in Jurassic Park... "Nature finds a way"

[pix3lboy]

I don't think Hammond meant that nature will find a way for a man to fuck a fictional rabbit or mermaid though. If he did, Jurassic Park would've been very different.

There is something sexy about Ariel though but I can't help thinking having sex with her would be a little too messy.

I adore mermaids, they're sexy but I have no idea why. I still feel jealous at the chick in Splash and I'm 29 :/ I once added salt to my bath in the hope I'd grow a tail. Apparently I wanted to fly too when I was really small, so much so that my mum had to watch me in case I tried jumping out of a window to see if I would. Hoping it's a "kid" thing and not that I'm mentally unbalanced.

@ Jocky - Fucking LOVED BMX Simulator! Was a great game, despite me being slightly crap at the third track
