      I also played Commando, another old favourite I'd forgotten about. How ridiculously hard is that game?!

      Loved Commando, another I must have spent many hours on!

      The joystick destroyer that was Daley Thompson's Decathalon.

      Was a "keyboard warrior" myself, so exploded the keyboard exery time I played it! In the end, after the hammering they got, a few of the keys wouldn't work any more.

      Anyone have the fun of trying to play two players, both keyboard controlled? :D

      Me and my brother in law used to play Daley Thompsons Decathlon together, I'd do one run button and he's do the other and getting the angle for the long jump and javelin bang on at 42 degrees was a challenge.

      It's amazing that after not playing Manic Miner for so many years how quick the way to do the levels popped back into my head.

      I got some old nintendo and master system stuff for the girls wii, don't get me started on Alex Kidd. Epic.

      I couldn't sleep today so grabbed the laptop and played Manic Miner for ages. Still as brilliantly frustrating as it used to be.
      I also played Commando, another old favourite I'd forgotten about. How ridiculously hard is that game?!

      Commando brings back memories.  :gt-happyup:

      I'll have to give that another play sometime.  :)

      Just picked a game at random to play - Dictator from 1983.

      Not a bad little game, scored 79 points in the end. No idea if that is good or bad.
