I used to own a Commodore 64 the bloody cassette tape programs took for ever to load all running in dos, There was a game called Dreadnought's a bit like the old battleships game but with graphics and each person issued out their maneuvering orders before commencing to engage the enemy i must have played that for two years solid, sort of computer war gaming , the cassette tape got snarled up around the pinch roll and knackered the data so Dreadnought's went down with all hands so to speak.
A mate brought himself an Amstrad 128 which we all thought was tantamount to a Honeywell main frame, then to top that my brother decided he would like to teach himself a bit about computing and went mad buying an old 2nd hand office IBM unit with a Winchester drive. the first week he had it crashed and it took him 3 months to figure out how to get it going again.

I had a C-64 as well. For it's day, it was a great machine. I had the tape unit and the really slow disk drive. I think I sold it back in about 1987. For it's day, it had a great sound chip. I remember the C-64 was an "upgrade" for me from the TI-99/4a that I had.

I had an Amstrad for a couple of years too that I donated to goodwill years ago.

I have the most fun playing Eidos' Commandos 2- Men of Courage. It's an RTS.

Call of Duty, Call of Duty: UO, Call of Duty 2. The first two were especially good online, while COD2 has (mostly) only graphics going for it online (esp. because there are no custom maps out yet, and no patch to fix all of the problems in game). Another good game is Perfect Dark for the N64. I HATE the sequal for Xbox (mostly 'cause its for Xbox), and the original rocked, being the first 3d game to use secondary functions for weapons (on a game console). Finally, I'll end my post with a game I only got to play once, but was addicted on the spot: Gundam Side Story: 0079

Does anyone remember SWOTL- Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe from Lucasarts 1989? In my estimation it was the most versitle flight sim ever with some feature never being bettered. I had fun with that one. Got me started modding too.

That was a fun one. I also played campaigns in "Their Finest Hour". It was great for it's time, although I am sure that TFH probably looks really dated now.

Battle of Britain by Talonsoft the strategy game where you plot all the various missions using the various units that participated in BoB and by the way it was Telstar that had the original pong but I guess that dates me
