Hello everybody - I am 'The Chap'

I grew up in a part of Hartlepool called Seaton Carew. I mispent most of my youth hanging out at the arcades playing all the latest games, dinking cider and unsuccessfully trying to pull birds Wink

.

My first computer was a VIC 20, which was quickly replaced with a C64, and then an Amiga 500. My Amiga came to University with me, but too many late nights playing full length games off Kick Off II, drinking and smoking Confused

ensured that I had dropped out after only a year!

Back home to a year of doing nothing -well going to art school, and drinking too much a the 'GEM' night club. (Lemon's very own LeeT was the DJ at the time).

The time came when I had to get a job, and after various careers ended up in computers. Bought my first PC and 1995 and not long after this discovered emulation. I still rememver the joy at playing the arcade version of Outrun for the first time. Smile

I now emulate and collect most systems - prefer the old skool much better than most of todays rubbish!

Fav Album: The Stone Roses: The Stone Roses
Fav Game: Final Fantasy Tactics (I know this makes me a geek)
Fav Movie: Shaw Shank Redemption

Anyway I'm sure I've said too much and nobodies reading now,..... Rolling Eyes

Hi there thechap - another Vic20 owner.. I wonder if we should all start a Vic20 forum.. maybe not Smile

Definately have to agree with the "todays rubbish" statement very true.

I loved Outrun in the arcades.. wasn't too good on the Amiga - although a sequel was.. can't remember the one I'm thinking of offhand though Sad

strat/rpg "geeks" are very welcome here also Wink

The GBA version is good, but the Playstation version is my fav. The game is 10 years old and old skool gameplay! Wink

I liked GBA version, will look for PSX version. (it's hard to find old titles here)

Thanks! Smile
