What games which you loved at the time has been the biggest dissapointment since you rediscovered it through emulation?

    Elite. I'm a big big fan of the game and when it first came out i thought it was incredible but for emulation its rubbish.

    A lot of it is to do with the fact that a lot of Speccy games you play its a quick 5 minutes jobby then go onto the next one.

    A masterpiece in its time but for emulators its one of the worst ones to play i think

    Thing Bounces Back - good preview and review in YS, but I found it more a case of hit-and-miss gameplay. Too random.

    Test Drive II.
    Was totally addicted to it on spectrum yet I tried to play it couple of times on emulator and, well, it's not really, erm, that good anymore :)

    Maybe add Kung Fu to that list, but apart from that most games I liked back then I still like to play today.

    No offence but I can never understand what's so great about Elite? I've tried to play it many times, and each time it made me sick. Even back in 80s...

    Ha ha we've had this discussion so many times !

    For me personally i saw Elite and thought it looked quite poor, saw all the adverts and hype and didnt get into it. Gave it a go once and back then i suddenly got into it BIG time. Yeah the graphics were boring vectors but doing runs to another galaxy to make a profit or doing missions etc, back then it was just a huge huge open world you could discover and was amazing.

    I really became hooked on it, like i say now i wouldnt play it as its way too basic but back then it was very good. Used to play X Beyond the Frontier which is a PC version of Elite which is brilliant.
