Can you remember when you could just sit for hours playing on the old games like "thunderball" without getting bored,the gameplay was fantastic. If you don't know what thunderball is,it is a game where you hit a ball at blocks with another block and when you hit them they dissapeared.it was quite good,it looked something like this:

____ ____ ____ ____ ____
____ ____ ____ ____ ____->Blocks




*->ball

____->Block

can you remember.

Nowadays are games concentrating on graphics and not gameplay??

Tell me what you think??

3-D Pinball used too be one of my old favourites, actually, it was the first game i got with my Playstation, i used too get really annoyed when i was 1 point out of the high score. So i used too turn off the T.V, smack the off button on the console and throw my controller really hard on the Playstation, i was such a moody brat back then.

Does anyone remember a game, I think it was called Bally (at least the Amiga version was).

You had a playing area, with things that floated about. You had to move your "man" about to "claim" a certain percentage of the playing area. If any of the bad guys hit you, you died.

Sorry the description is a bit vague, but I'm not sure how else to explain it.

Yes, a true classic that - but horrendously difficult!

I think the furthest I got without using a 'poke' was level 8, or thereabouts. There were about 40 levels, too.

The power ups were excellent. Escpecially the regenerating multiball, and the 'ghost'.
