Been trying to track down some of the games I used to play on the Acorn. I remember a tank game, could have run on either the Risc-PC or or something that looked like a A3020 but I have no idea what the model number was as I only really remember the Risc-PC. The game was a tank game, I seem to remember it being 3D or something that looked similar to me at the time. You could play as German, Soviet or American and control a single tank in a sort of survivor mode or a team of tanks, being able to tell the others where to go whilst controlling one directly. Does anyone know the game I'm trying to remember? It might have come with a magazine, we certainly got most of our games that way. Thanks for looking! |

Definitely conqueror. Was a commercial game, a follow-on from Zarch. |

An excellent game, and I had hours of fun with it! Then I got a StrongARM and it ran at about a million FPS |

Hah, I've come here the reverse way: I've been looking at Mr Vanpeebles videos on YouTube, and got inspired to recreate my old Acorn setup, one way or another. Does anyone know where I can find stuff like Magnetoids, Axis, Aggressor etc? Some of my old disks don't work anymore, and some won't read properly with the PC utility I have.

Chris if you're wondering how you've managed to keep some 'new' copies of that piece of 22 year old software 'in stock', that would be the price. |

As we only have one new and one second hand it makes no business sense to lower the price, I can't buy any more! [Edited by at 13:36, 7/4/2010] [Edited by CJE at 13:37, 7/4/2010] |
