Console gaming has come a long way since Jet Set Willy!

[CMAC]

yes, I played with my Willy when a youngster, but it kept us engrossed for hours on end basic stuff though.

Now look how immersive it can be, unsurprising this industry is worth £billions

The industry peaked with Pong from Atari and since then they've all just been tweaks on that game

It probably has a tad more lasting interest interest than the original Ping pong and then space invaders games, but, at least I got outdoors more in those days!

Long Live Duke Nukem

Quake for my money, best FPS of its time, good music too

Only managed to finish both MM and JSW by using Poke codes for infinite lives.
Still have Speccy and C64 emulators on my pc for those days when you want a change.
I still remember the buzz when a new Ultimate game was released :thup:

What games you gone with? I'm currently deciding between ghosts and battlefield 4.

Best fps shooter was counter strike. Everything pales in comparison regards skill level needed. I have swore I won't but a next gen console, but titanfall looks immense.

Can't beat the sound of the spectrum ZX loading up :clap:

Can't beat the C64 I wrote a little program called GameBase (you may have heard of it if you like C64 games).

All these latest games bore me really... won't be getting an xbox one, or a ps4... although the boy will be getting a wii-u for christmas

Games are usually all scripted now and too easy... what ever happened to tough addictive games with 3 lives then game over!!!?

Too easy
You should try playing COD against the youths of today.
