But there are a lot more that only some of us know about. I want some of those games, but I don't know what they are (the good from the bad.)

Any game reviews and/or recommendations out there? I want to build my library!

I'm playing Gods at the moment, I presume you know about that.

Make a list in the first post of people's suggestions so we can see what to play in one post?


Will do!

Gods is a new one on me!

Just went and had a look at a few screenshots of Gods. I actually have that game.

Came in a collection of 'non-working' floppies that I got with my new A500 a few weeks ago! I recognize it from the cover art of the HUGE plastic case I guess those floppies used to come in.

I would like to be able to play this game, but I'm going to have to download it to do it.

If you have the original floppy and it doesn't work, have you tried cleaning it?


Actually I haven't. I have a lot of floppies that look interesting, but don't work. I'd love to be able to recover some of them and play them.

How do I clean them?

I was thinking of making an instructional video, would that help?

Yes, it would! :laugh1:
I can't wait to try this out - maybe I can save some of my floppies. Sounds like I'd better set aside a Saturday or two!

That's impressive! I actually have a few DOS and early Windows floppies I'd like to restore...

OBTW I had an Amstrad, too! ("Portable", big and gray, TWO floppies, 2400 baud modem, tiny green screen!) I foolishly gave it a way! :(
