Did anyone ever play Battlezone II? I'd LOVE a follow up.
It was FPS and an RTS in one. You'd pilot a ship (and occasionally have to risk it on foot when you got damaged) while also building a base and collecting resources so you can build more buildings, more ships and repel the alien threat. The story also branched two thirds of the way through giving entirely different missions and maps depending on your decision. Such a great game.

Before Skyrim & Oblivion et al there was Ultima Underworld... Was great! Completed it again about 6 yeas ago.
I bet it isn't just like the real thing. Does the game take 30 minutes to load? Does it fail to load at all every other time? Do you have to put the cassette player in a certain place?

We had a bunch of tapes for an Amstrad PCP464 I seem to remember. I mildly recall a very pixelated green screen bomber going over cities you could bomb, loved that game actually and a game called Chronos which was essentially horizontal Space Invaders. For some weird reason we were only allowed to keep and play this thing in the garage so I just remember being freezing cold and hardly able to move this ridiculously elaborate joystick my Brother's and I had saved up to buy from Argos.
Similar story:
Had a mate (not even that close of a mate) at school for WEEKS telling me how great his Dreamcast was. I played a lot of games as a kid and Dreamcast was one of the only "main" consoles I'd never played, so I was very curious. Finally he invited me over after school to play it, really talking it up. I was looking forward to it.
Walked back to his house. He suddenly stopped short outside of his house and said "You don't think I'd ACTUALLY let you come in and play my Dreamcast, do you?! You wish!" and just walked into his house and shut the door.
Odd kid.
