☆ Graphical Wonders From 8 & 16 Bit Past ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite #C64

When I was a young inexperienced gamer in the mid 80's to early 90's graphics were one of the first things that I looked for in a game.

Maybe that's a superficial mindset but you have to remember that I was only 8 years old and having been brought up on Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Atari visuals that were hit n miss in terms of quality, any advancement in graphics were always met with an open mouthed disbelief as I witnessed either the latest hardware blowing my mind or maybe an example of someone being ultra clever and resourceful with the current hardware of the time.

☆A Retrogaming Piece Of History Bought At A Tupperware Auction!☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

A guy called Dallas walks into a Tupperware auction and then walks away with a piece retrogaming history (or so the story goes)

Dallas was in the right place at the right time when he visited an injection mold auction which consisted mainly of tupperware molds and then up popped the beautiful nugget that Dallas just had to bid for..............

☆ My Retrogaming Video Games Bucket List ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Retrogaming for me only occurs on carefully planned days of the week. It means that sometimes I will only get a one or two hour slot to play with and in that time I need to utilise my time efficiently as i may only get one chance a week to play computer games.

 

With this in mind I have created a Retrogaming Computer Games Bucket List.

 

This list is intended to highlight 2 must play games on the various consoles or computers that I am yet to play.

 

My intention is to work my way through this list before I kick the bucket!!

☆ My Most Memorable Retrogaming All Nighter ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite

Retrogaming All Nighters Are Few And Far Between For Me Nowadays But Back In My Computer Games Hey Day I Would Often Have All Night Sessions That Would Get Me Through To The Break Of Dawn.

Having Kids Means That I Have Less Time To Invest In An All Nighter But One That Always Sticks In My Mind Was An All Nighter Involving A C64 And A Horse Racing Game! 

☆ 5 Retrogaming Moments That Shaped My Video Games World ☆

☆ Terrible Video Games That You Played Till The Bitter End! ☆ #GamersUnite #Retrogaming

☆ 

When I was young video games pup my video games collection was small and usually well researched so most of my games were quality games.

BUT every now and again I would be tempted by an untested unknown game that was going for a pocket money price. 

This usually resulted in the game being atrocious and me becoming ultimately disappointed. 

The thing is, once I owned a video game I felt compelled to play it to the end whether it was a terrible game or not. 

This led to me playing through some real awful games over the years that I really should have just walked away from on day one!

 

I've pulled together a list of Five Terrible Video Games That I Played Till The Bitter End! (sometimes the bitter end was me smashing up the cartridge / tape in disgust and frustration!)

Games Freezer - Website Of The Day - Commodore 64 Game Endings

The Marvelous C64 Endings Website

Back in the days of rock hard video games that just didn't want to let you beat them an ending was truly the holy grail for any gamer. 

Back then there was no internet walk-throughs and gamers had to hope that the game they were stuck on would appear in the hints & tips section of their favourite video games magazine. 

Some games didn't even end and just got harder and harder without letting gamers complete them! 

We have discovered a website which focuses on the Commodore 64 and lets you view endings from over 700 C64 games.

We checked out the ending to one of our favourite games, Midnight Resistance and was glad to see the ending was one of peace, love and harmony.

Take a look a look for yourself at the Commodore 64 Game Endings website and look up your fave C64 Game Ending.

Did it end how you expected it to?

Did it end at all?

Let us know how you get on!
