territories, including the UK. Happy birthday to one of my favourite consoles. The Saturn though for me was a little like John Carpenter’s The Thing, unappreciated at the time but in hindsight great. It launched ahead of the Playstation but a price that’s the equivalent of over £700 in today’s money. Eat that Xbox One X!/p>p>I’m now on my second Saturn and don’t have my original any more- I gave it to a charity youth club in the late 90’s. Altruistic but a mistake and I remedied it by buying a white Japanese Saturn a few years later./p>p>Time has been kind to the Saturn. Kinder in a sense than it has been to the Playstation because the Saturn had pretty awesome 2D chops and the games that reflected it, while the Playstation was all about the fancy 3D and transparency effects. I had a Playstation some months before a Saturn and was able to trade a stack of already second hand PS games to get a second hand Saturn in early 1996. I wasn’t about to pay the £399 launch price! a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/07/happy-birthday-sega-saturn/#more-265 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/retrostalgia/ relcategory tag>retrostalgia/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/07/happy-birthday-sega-saturn/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-265 --> div idpost-247 classpost-247 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-retrostalgia> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/05/my-letter-was-only-the-start-of-it/ relbookmark>My letter, was only the start of it…/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/05/my-letter-was-only-the-start-of-it/ title8:49 am relbookmark>span classentry-date>May 6, 2017/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>Fortunately, given that he turned out to be the paedophile from hell, I never wrote in to Jim’ll Fix It for him to make my dreams come true.

It makes sense of course, the immediacy of publication of news, and the ability to put streaming video in, have all contributed to the demise of the magazine. Comment sections and forums have too, although whether this is a good thing or not depends on your point of view.

All I know is Delta was probably the game that I most associate with the C64, after Wizball at any rate. a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/delta-on-commodore-64/#more-164 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/8bit/ relcategory tag>8bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/delta-on-commodore-64/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-164 --> div idpost-153 classpost-153 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-8bit> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/ relbookmark>California Games on Commodore 64/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/ title9:15 pm relbookmark>span classentry-date>March 21, 2016/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games.jpg relattachment wp-att-154>img loadinglazy decodingasync classalignleft wp-image-154 size-medium srchttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-202x300.jpg altcalifornia_games width202 height300 srcsethttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-202x300.jpg 202w, http://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-768x1143.jpg 768w, http://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-688x1024.jpg 688w, http://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games.jpg 800w sizes(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px />/a>We started off this week by having a look across Epyx broad span of “Games”- Winter Games, Summer Games and California Games. After some deliberation we decided on California Games because it had that cooler vibe that Sam seemed to find hilarious. I mean, half pipe alone is hilarious if you’re 8. Slightly less so if you have to load each individual event in though…/p>p>California Games is a bodacious spin on the multi sports games that were popular in the mid to late 80’s. Starting with Daley Thompson’s Decathalon on the Speccy, a game that’s focus on excessive waggle broke many a Quickshot Pro joystick, 1987’s California Games was really the pinicle of the format. It focuses around some more gnarly sports. Well, some of them are gnarly- half pipe band surfing certainly are- but others like foot bag (hacky sack) and roller-skating are a bit comedy. And in now way should you ever call the flying disc Frisbee because that’s a trademark! a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/#more-153 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/8bit/ relcategory tag>8bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-153 --> div idnav-below classnavigation> div classnav-previous>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/page/2/ >span classmeta-nav>←/span> Older posts/a>/div> div classnav-next>/div> /div>!-- #nav-below --> /div>!-- #content --> /div>!-- #container --> div idprimary classwidget-area rolecomplementary> ul classxoxo>li idtwitter_timeline-2 classwidget-container widget_twitter_timeline>h3 classwidget-title>Follow me on Twitter/h3>a classtwitter-timeline data-height400 data-themelight data-border-color#e8e8e8 data-langEN data-partnerjetpack data-widget-id682598420419338240 hrefhttps://twitter.com/682598420419338240>My Tweets/a>/li>li idtext-2 classwidget-container widget_text> div classtextwidget>script async src//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js>/script>!-- do it anyway -->ins classadsbygoogle styledisplay:inline-block;width:200px;height:163px data-ad-clientca-pub-2778495118940393 data-ad-slot6536819098>/ins>script>(adsbygoogle window.adsbygoogle || ).push({});/script>/div> /li> li idrecent-posts-2 classwidget-container widget_recent_entries> h3 classwidget-title>Recent Posts/h3> ul> li> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/07/happy-birthday-sega-saturn/>Happy Birthday Sega Saturn/a> /li> li> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/05/my-letter-was-only-the-start-of-it/>My letter, was only the start of it…/a> /li> li> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/dungeon-master-on-the-atari-st/>Dungeon Master on the Atari ST/a> /li> li> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/the-world-of-magazines/>The world of magazines/a> /li> li> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/gauntlet-on-the-atari-st/>Gauntlet on the Atari ST/a> /li> /ul> /li>li idrecent-comments-2 classwidget-container widget_recent_comments>h3 classwidget-title>Recent Comments/h3>ul idrecentcomments>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/28/gauntlet-on-the-atari-st/ classurl relugc>Gauntlet on the Atari ST | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/populous-on-the-atari-st/#comment-57>Populous on the Atari ST/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://ataricrypt.blogspot.co.uk classurl relugc external nofollow>Steve/a>/span> on a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/populous-on-the-atari-st/#comment-53>Populous on the Atari ST/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/11/moving-from-c64-to-atari-st/ classurl relugc>Moving from a C64 to an Atari ST | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/the-move-from-a-spectrum-to-a-commodore-64/#comment-48>The move from a Spectrum to a Commodore 64…/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/28/delta-on-commodore-64/ classurl relugc>Delta on Commodore 64 | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/penetrator-zx-spectrum/#comment-33>Penetrator ZX Spectrum/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/15/the-move-from-a-spectrum-to-a-commodore-64/ classurl relugc>The move from a Spectrum to a Commodore 64… | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/renegade-on-zx-spectrum/#comment-21>Renegade on ZX Spectrum/a>/li>/ul>/li> /ul> /div>!-- #primary .widget-area --> /div>!-- #main --> div idfooter rolecontentinfo> div idcolophon> div idsite-info> a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/ relhome> Kids Do Retro /a> /div>!-- #site-info --> div idsite-generator> a hrefhttps://wordpress.org/ classimprint titleSemantic Personal Publishing Platform> Proudly powered by WordPress. /a> /div>!-- #site-generator --> /div>!-- #colophon --> /div>!-- #footer -->/div>!-- #wrapper -->script typetext/javascript srchttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/build/twitter-timeline.min.js?ver4.0.0 idjetpack-twitter-timeline-js>/script>script typetext/javascript srchttps://stats.wp.com/e-202438.js idjetpack-stats-js data-wp-strategydefer>/script>script typetext/javascript idjetpack-stats-js-after>/* !CDATA */_stq window._stq || ;_stq.push( view, JSON.parse({\v\:\ext\,\blog\:\103432433\,\post\:\0\,\tz\:\0\,\srv\:\kidsdoretro.co.uk\,\j\:\1:13.8.1\}) );_stq.push( clickTrackerInit, 103432433, 0 );/* > *//script>/body>/html>

territories, including the UK. Happy birthday to one of my favourite consoles. The Saturn though for me was a little like John Carpenter’s The Thing, unappreciated at the time but in hindsight great. It launched ahead of the Playstation but a price that’s the equivalent of over £700 in today’s money. Eat that Xbox One X!/p>p>I’m now on my second Saturn and don’t have my original any more- I gave it to a charity youth club in the late 90’s. Altruistic but a mistake and I remedied it by buying a white Japanese Saturn a few years later./p>p>Time has been kind to the Saturn. Kinder in a sense than it has been to the Playstation because the Saturn had pretty awesome 2D chops and the games that reflected it, while the Playstation was all about the fancy 3D and transparency effects. I had a Playstation some months before a Saturn and was able to trade a stack of already second hand PS games to get a second hand Saturn in early 1996. I wasn’t about to pay the £399 launch price! a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/07/happy-birthday-sega-saturn/#more-265 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/retrostalgia/ relcategory tag>retrostalgia/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/07/happy-birthday-sega-saturn/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-265 --> div idpost-247 classpost-247 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-retrostalgia> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/05/my-letter-was-only-the-start-of-it/ relbookmark>My letter, was only the start of it…/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/05/my-letter-was-only-the-start-of-it/ title8:49 am relbookmark>span classentry-date>May 6, 2017/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>Fortunately, given that he turned out to be the paedophile from hell, I never wrote in to Jim’ll Fix It for him to make my dreams come true.

This is probably my favourite game of all time ever. There are other games I’ve spent longer playing- Championship Manager being the one that springs immediately to mind- but I don’t think there is a game that either holds such a place in my affections or had as profound an affect on me as FTL’s Dungeon Master. Heck, even though it ran fine on my 520STFM, those poor buggers with Amigas had to wait ages and then they needed a meg of RAM to even play it! a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/dungeon-master-on-the-atari-st/#more-217 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/16bit/ relcategory tag>16bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/dungeon-master-on-the-atari-st/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-217 --> div idpost-203 classpost-203 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-retrostalgia> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/the-world-of-magazines/ relbookmark>The world of magazines/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/the-world-of-magazines/ title9:00 am relbookmark>span classentry-date>May 2, 2016/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>There are still a few video game magazines that shift some issues in print, Edge and Retrogamer are the two that immediately spring to mind to me, but by and large it’s now mostly online sites. It makes sense of course, the immediacy of publication of news, and the ability to put streaming video in, have all contributed to the demise of the magazine. Comment sections and forums have too, although whether this is a good thing or not depends on your point of view. Personally I think the comment section of the vast majority of gaming sites are toxic hazards that should be avoided at all costs but that’s another story. a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/the-world-of-magazines/#more-203 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/retrostalgia/ relcategory tag>retrostalgia/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/the-world-of-magazines/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-203 --> div idpost-191 classpost-191 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-16bit> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/gauntlet-on-the-atari-st/ relbookmark>Gauntlet on the Atari ST/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/gauntlet-on-the-atari-st/ title9:46 am relbookmark>span classentry-date>April 28, 2016/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>em>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Gauntlet-Atari-ST.jpg>img loadinglazy decodingasync classaligncenter size-full wp-image-192 srchttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Gauntlet-Atari-ST.jpg altGauntlet Atari ST width641 height401 srcsethttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Gauntlet-Atari-ST.jpg 641w, https://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Gauntlet-Atari-ST-300x188.jpg 300w sizes(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px />/a>Red Elf shot the food! /em>And a huge punch up ensued between my younger brother and me.

I never managed to ask her out on a date but 27 years later, we’re returning to Populous to see if it’s still as much fun as I remember. a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/populous-on-the-atari-st/#more-183 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/16bit/ relcategory tag>16bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/populous-on-the-atari-st/#comments>2 Comments/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-183 --> div idpost-175 classpost-175 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-16bit> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/moving-from-c64-to-atari-st/ relbookmark>Moving from a C64 to an Atari ST/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/moving-from-c64-to-atari-st/ title12:36 pm relbookmark>span classentry-date>April 11, 2016/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/stfm-1.jpg relattachment wp-att-179>img loadinglazy decodingasync classaligncenter size-full wp-image-179 srchttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/stfm-1.jpg altstfm width750 height500 srcsethttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/stfm-1.jpg 750w, https://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/stfm-1-300x200.jpg 300w sizes(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px />/a>/p>p>As I’ve said before, a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/15/the-move-from-a-spectrum-to-a-commodore-64/>I was late to the Commodore 64/a>. It’s early days were well behind it when I bought mine. This was good in some ways; there were already established budget brands that weren’t just churning out rubbish but were actually re-releasing classics of yester year at pretty great prices. It was a good way to build up a cheap library of good, if not new, games. a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/moving-from-c64-to-atari-st/#more-175 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/16bit/ relcategory tag>16bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/moving-from-c64-to-atari-st/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-175 --> div idpost-160 classpost-160 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-retrostalgia> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/1986-and-all-that/ relbookmark>1986 and all that/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/1986-and-all-that/ title8:27 am relbookmark>span classentry-date>April 6, 2016/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>From reading our game play throughs, you would be forgiven in thinking I spent every single waking hour I wasn’t at school sat in front of a computer in the 80’s./p>p>That wasn’t really the case though, mostly because the paucity of childrens TV meant we actually had a lot of spare time.

Delta was one of the handful of games that Thalamus released between 1986 and 1991. At the time I didn’t realise the controversy that their games engendered- Thalamus had been set up by the publishing house that published ZZAP64! which lead to accusations of biased reviews. All I know is Delta was probably the game that I most associate with the C64, after Wizball at any rate. a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/delta-on-commodore-64/#more-164 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/8bit/ relcategory tag>8bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/delta-on-commodore-64/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-164 --> div idpost-153 classpost-153 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-8bit> h2 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/ relbookmark>California Games on Commodore 64/a>/h2> div classentry-meta> span classmeta-prep meta-prep-author>Posted on/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/ title9:15 pm relbookmark>span classentry-date>March 21, 2016/span>/a> span classmeta-sep>by/span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/author/Alex/ titleView all posts by Alex>Alex/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classentry-content> p>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games.jpg relattachment wp-att-154>img loadinglazy decodingasync classalignleft wp-image-154 size-medium srchttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-202x300.jpg altcalifornia_games width202 height300 srcsethttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-202x300.jpg 202w, https://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-768x1143.jpg 768w, https://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games-688x1024.jpg 688w, https://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/california_games.jpg 800w sizes(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px />/a>We started off this week by having a look across Epyx broad span of “Games”- Winter Games, Summer Games and California Games. After some deliberation we decided on California Games because it had that cooler vibe that Sam seemed to find hilarious. I mean, half pipe alone is hilarious if you’re 8. Slightly less so if you have to load each individual event in though…/p>p>California Games is a bodacious spin on the multi sports games that were popular in the mid to late 80’s. Starting with Daley Thompson’s Decathalon on the Speccy, a game that’s focus on excessive waggle broke many a Quickshot Pro joystick, 1987’s California Games was really the pinicle of the format. It focuses around some more gnarly sports. Well, some of them are gnarly- half pipe band surfing certainly are- but others like foot bag (hacky sack) and roller-skating are a bit comedy. And in now way should you ever call the flying disc Frisbee because that’s a trademark! a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/#more-153 classmore-link>Continue reading span classmeta-nav>→/span>/a>/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> div classentry-utility> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/category/the-journey/8bit/ relcategory tag>8bit/a> /span> span classmeta-sep>|/span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/california-games-on-commodore-64/#respond>Leave a comment/a>/span> /div>!-- .entry-utility --> /div>!-- #post-153 --> div idnav-below classnavigation> div classnav-previous>a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/page/2/ >span classmeta-nav>←/span> Older posts/a>/div> div classnav-next>/div> /div>!-- #nav-below --> /div>!-- #content --> /div>!-- #container --> div idprimary classwidget-area rolecomplementary> ul classxoxo>li idtwitter_timeline-2 classwidget-container widget_twitter_timeline>h3 classwidget-title>Follow me on Twitter/h3>a classtwitter-timeline data-height400 data-themelight data-border-color#e8e8e8 data-langEN data-partnerjetpack data-widget-id682598420419338240 hrefhttps://twitter.com/682598420419338240>My Tweets/a>/li>li idtext-2 classwidget-container widget_text> div classtextwidget>script async src//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js>/script>!-- do it anyway -->ins classadsbygoogle styledisplay:inline-block;width:200px;height:163px data-ad-clientca-pub-2778495118940393 data-ad-slot6536819098>/ins>script>(adsbygoogle window.adsbygoogle || ).push({});/script>/div> /li> li idrecent-posts-2 classwidget-container widget_recent_entries> h3 classwidget-title>Recent Posts/h3> ul> li> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/07/happy-birthday-sega-saturn/>Happy Birthday Sega Saturn/a> /li> li> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2017/05/my-letter-was-only-the-start-of-it/>My letter, was only the start of it…/a> /li> li> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/dungeon-master-on-the-atari-st/>Dungeon Master on the Atari ST/a> /li> li> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/05/the-world-of-magazines/>The world of magazines/a> /li> li> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/gauntlet-on-the-atari-st/>Gauntlet on the Atari ST/a> /li> /ul> /li>li idrecent-comments-2 classwidget-container widget_recent_comments>h3 classwidget-title>Recent Comments/h3>ul idrecentcomments>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/28/gauntlet-on-the-atari-st/ classurl relugc>Gauntlet on the Atari ST | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/populous-on-the-atari-st/#comment-57>Populous on the Atari ST/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://ataricrypt.blogspot.co.uk classurl relugc external nofollow>Steve/a>/span> on a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/populous-on-the-atari-st/#comment-53>Populous on the Atari ST/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/04/11/moving-from-c64-to-atari-st/ classurl relugc>Moving from a C64 to an Atari ST | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/the-move-from-a-spectrum-to-a-commodore-64/#comment-48>The move from a Spectrum to a Commodore 64…/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/03/28/delta-on-commodore-64/ classurl relugc>Delta on Commodore 64 | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/penetrator-zx-spectrum/#comment-33>Penetrator ZX Spectrum/a>/li>li classrecentcomments>span classcomment-author-link>a hrefhttp://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/15/the-move-from-a-spectrum-to-a-commodore-64/ classurl relugc>The move from a Spectrum to a Commodore 64… | Kids Do Retro/a>/span> on a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/2016/02/renegade-on-zx-spectrum/#comment-21>Renegade on ZX Spectrum/a>/li>/ul>/li> /ul> /div>!-- #primary .widget-area --> /div>!-- #main --> div idfooter rolecontentinfo> div idcolophon> div idsite-info> a hrefhttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/ relhome> Kids Do Retro /a> /div>!-- #site-info --> div idsite-generator> a hrefhttps://wordpress.org/ classimprint titleSemantic Personal Publishing Platform> Proudly powered by WordPress. /a> /div>!-- #site-generator --> /div>!-- #colophon --> /div>!-- #footer -->/div>!-- #wrapper -->script typetext/javascript srchttps://kidsdoretro.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/_inc/build/twitter-timeline.min.js?ver4.0.0 idjetpack-twitter-timeline-js>/script>script typetext/javascript srchttps://stats.wp.com/e-202438.js idjetpack-stats-js data-wp-strategydefer>/script>script typetext/javascript idjetpack-stats-js-after>/* !CDATA */_stq window._stq || ;_stq.push( view, JSON.parse({\v\:\ext\,\blog\:\103432433\,\post\:\0\,\tz\:\0\,\srv\:\kidsdoretro.co.uk\,\j\:\1:13.8.1\}) );_stq.push( clickTrackerInit, 103432433, 0 );/* > *//script>/body>/html>
