| 1626172595295993856 | @JazRignall I developed an unpublished game on the MegaCD. Quite interesting to code on. You ended up with 2 68K CPUs for the game and the Z80 running the music tracker/driver. I ended up offloading some of the game workflow to the MegaCD. Lovely to code on. Probably vastly underutilised. | 1 |
| 1625615029297881097 | @JazRignall Loved Tiny Toons. Buster Busts Loose on the snes was top tier stuff. | 1 |
| 1626742798635655169 | @JazRignall EmuZWin is another Win Speccy emulator option. Can't work out how to do joystick on the PC keyboard, but if you have a joystick/joypad plugged-in it's easy. But the game? Oh boy. Well, Manic Miner is the great granddaddy of platformers. I like Auf Weidersehen Monty too. 👍 https://t.co/iXvkvaDq9M | 1 |
| 1626171452171984897 | @JazRignall @davecross28 One of the Amiga magazines of the time described the FMV in Sewer Shark as "like watching a Casio pocket TV through a sock". I was the most devoted Sega fanboy back then, but even I read that and thought "that's fair". 😄 | 0 |

| 1626098368769400836 | @JazRignall Got my MCD first gen from Comet over a year later from this for £99. Much more reasonable price. That does look like a Dixons bundle there. I remember all the hype around the MCD at launch! | 0 |

| 1627108839811170305 | @JazRignall Nobody gets out alive. At least we lived through an incredibly progressive period of time. I'll take that. | 9 |
| 1626684351961235457 | @JazRignall Ocean must have used the cheapest tapes possible for Game Set & Match as there was always PILES of them in the Ocean returns department that people had sent back. So many had a game or 2 that didn’t work. A huge amount of them got binned! | 9 |

| 1628122853504651277 | @JazRignall The intro part where the spaceships are going down the tunnel and the camera pans behind them as they fly out into the open and the music and the sounds of the characters talking to each other is embedded in my brain. I’m gonna have to play this again soon. | 7 |
| 1626701311587545093 | @Ikariniku @JazRignall Speccy is a good emulator in my experience. Fuse also a good choice. Some of my favourite games: - Renegade - Exolon - Way of the Exploding Fist - Saboteur 2 - Rex - School Daze - Dynatron Mission - Dan Dare 2 - Commando - Cybernoid - Jetpac - Manic Miner - Cyberun - TransAm | 7 |
| 1626696645978062848 | @JazRignall Fuse is the obvious free choise, Spectaculator if they don't mind spending money. As for games: Head Over Heels, Jet Set Willy, Lords Of Midnight, Micronaut One, Jet Pac should be good to start (and always Read The Fucking Manual) | 7 |
| 1625945194037186568 | @JazRignall Never got this but found some of my MD collection other day https://t.co/jp0s4Ml6Ci | 6 |
| 1626699044889284615 | @JazRignall https://t.co/Pd9ab6Qjtd lets you play games direct from browser. Or https://t.co/zpqeEO4pIW Games: Bombjack Quazatron Skool Daze Chaos Head Over Heels Dan Dare Starquake (obviously) | 6 |
| 1625954937443127320 | @JazRignall I think the pack-in was Cobra Command , Sol-Feace and that “Arcade Classics” disc that was just 5 Megadrive games. Classic cheeky Sega. | 6 |
| 1626684016328863744 | @JazRignall While I enjoyed my youth with the US console war, this era of UK home computer gaming is fascinating to me. It feels like gamers were spoiled for choice. Especially if they had a cassette drive. | 5 |
