M.A.S.K
I had the game on the Commodore 64 and I had the green helicopter bike thingy toy.
-
Hehehe - immediately after posting this thread I decided to see if I'd get anything from a Google image search for "helicopter motorcycle", and sure enough, the MASK BiKopter (? :p) showed up on the first page. :)
Just finished browsing through the pictures of all the toys... dangit, why did I get rid of them!! They were sooo cool!
Speaking of old toys, did/does anyone have any StarCom (http://www.nemesisworld.com/starcom/home.html)? ;)

this was my old toy ;) I still have it, though :p
God, I still love my old C128D :)
-
neverheard of it
-
I still have a bunch of the comics somewhere. Doubt they are worth anything (although later they did merge with the Eagle which might bump up the price) :D

Is that a Commodore I spy?
I've got the Commodore 64...wowee were those quite a thing back in the day. Its a integrated keyboard and computer tho...no separate case.
-
My back-in-the-day was an old Mac Plus with a whopping 1 megabyte of RAM. That thing was a beast, let me tell you. It had the screen integrated, and was so ghetto that the keyboard plugged in through a jack that would have taken a phone plug. Booting from floppy disks, those were the days.
Of course, now that computer has been, quite literally, dismantled (we pirated the RAM to another ancient Mac years ago) and integrated into a piece of Junk Art for a high school project. I'll have to find pictures of it sometime.
-
Earliest machine I remember gaming on is a Mac II. That was fun.
-
I love mask, i wonder if i still have my, jeep that turns into some sort of tank aa gun thingy.
-
I suspect that's one of the little seen Commodore 128's
-
I had the green motorbike and the F1 car that turned into a jet fighter IIRC.
-
I had a Tandy TRS-80 (http://www.tcp.com/~lgreenf/cocopage.htm) (a.k.a. the Tandy Color Computer) before I was six (i.e. pre-1984) and played with LOGO (http://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/v10n12/94_A_comparison_of_Logos_to.php) on it. Who's got something more retro than that?

No kidding. *dreams of Silkworm and Altered Beast* Oh, mine were different, hooked up to a TV. Years of fun, right there. :)
-
i had an Acorn Electron with Frogger and some text adventure about pyramids (which i never got any further that the first screen on).
:)
-
I had a Colecovision... used to love playing that thing, although it was hard to find games for it :(
I remember MASK. I Loved the show. I tried getting all the toys. My favorite cars were the 60's baby blue t-bird that turned into a tank, the orange Pontiac GTO that turned into a hover car, and the blue monster truck van that turned into a gun tower.
What sucked was that the MASK figures were smaller than the GI Joe ones so whenver I wanted to play with both of them I always had to pretend that the MASK figures were from some other universe or something....
-
M-M-M-M-MASK!
Matt Tracker and his boys were all twits, but their motors pwned. I had Tracker's car and that green bike/helo thingy. Oh, and Miles Mayhem's helo/jet thingy. That one ruled.
What annoys me is that however hard I try to get my friends to induldge in some MASK nostalgia, they insist that I'm talking about that idiot in the yellow suit and the green mask and look at me as if I was speaking 1337.
Sadly, I have only ever found one episode on Kazaa :(

I had a red motorcycle that turned into a jet thing. Basically little winglets unfolded from the saddlebags, which were really jet engines. :D
II aldo had a StarCom Starwolf. It was the magnetic feet of the pilot that killed my WIzardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord disk for the Apple //gs
-
M-M-M-MASK!
Yeah... I loved that show. Bought all the toys! Along with ZOIDS and transformers. But the series that REALLY kicked ass was JACE AND THE WHEELED WARRIORS!!! Complete rip off from star wars, but hey it was COOL! Evil plants that turned into killer cars!! Priceless!
-
I miss Commodore. I miss Workbench, I miss Psygnosis (devoured by Sony), I miss Domark, I miss the Bitmap Brothers.
Lucky I have emulation but it's never quite the same.
-
All Hail MASK :)
*Has Six Episodes on Video*
Must watch them again at some point. Actually, hmm... I wonder... we have a reasonably modern (though low end) VCR/DVD combined thing... if it has a digi out I might be able to grab a few onto the HD, convert to DivX and upload 'em somewhere... maybe...
BTW, Vectrex owns all old gaming systems :D

Vectrex was ace. I was addicted to scramble when I was two or three years old.
-
Hail M.A.S.K!! Geat series :D
Oh the good ol' 80's shows ^^
-
Vectrex, now THAT brings me back!! Man, I loved that little TANK game! IT OWNED! Actually.... I still have it somewhere in the attic...
*Runs up and rumages thru old stuff...*
OMG, HERE IT IS!!! Asteroids cool.... *hums theme* dum-dum dum-dum, dum-dum-dum dam-dam! And the Tank game! Oh man, this is better than KotOR!!!

Yep. Jayce was the coolest. I've managed to get hold of a few episodes by various means but no where near all the episodes. I'm rather annoyed that Babylon 5 didn't feature a technomage called Gillian since only a few big fans would have gotten the in-joke anyway.

Another Amiga fan I see. It's very sad. The Amiga was literally 10 years ahead of the competition but everyone thought it was just a games machine and ignored it. That has to go in the all time book of humanities mass stupidity.
-
Yeah I used to own a Amiga too. An Amiga 2000 actually. Loved that machine, and when I finally moved to a PC, I was horrified with the low music and sound quality. And the fact that I had to buy a bloody soundcard as well. But then X-Wing came along and I promptly forgot about my Amiga. Its also still upstair in the attic gaining dust. But now I got all my old games emulated on my pc so I can happily relive the joys of Amiga again. Some of my favorite Amiga games were, Another World, Flood, Rock'n'Roll, Hostage, Awesome and The Lost Patrol. Not to mention Populous, Heart of the Beast (or was it eye of the beast), New Zealand Story, !!!SPEEDBALL 2!!!, and the Silk Worm series!!
-
I must get Speedball 2 for my Gameboy Advance. I loved the Amiga and I seriously wish I could get my hands on an A1200 for nostalgia purposes.
Lets see, I had a Commodore 16+4, Commodore Vic 20, Commodore 64, Amiga 500, CDTV and an Amiga 1200 before I moved onto P.C's .
-
I started out with an Apple Mac 128 - 128Kb of RAM, no HDD, and everything booted off a 320kb(?) floppy. But the bugger has text-to-speech the equal of the engine that comes with modern versions of Windows, which was uber-l337. ;)
-
Yeah. The Amiga had that too. Makes you wonder why it to MS so long to catch up.
-
The only amiga thing I had was my CD32 ( a console, go wonder ).
I loved it, tho, too bad now it's broken :(
If someone finds me an emulator so I can play my CD32 games on my PC, I'd be grateful, btw :p

My first one... though not as old as some.
-
When growing up my parents bought us kids an Apple IIc and I must have been in 3rd or 4th grade or something. I didn't see another computer until I was in 8th or 9th grade , and that was a 286 mhz and a 20 mb harddrive Packard Bell. It didn't even have Windows. It had some sort of Dos Shell.
-
ah the C64 *snif*. And it really felt like the games couldn't load any faster when the floppydisk drive came for it... and then came the consoles :D
Amiga was a real über1337 gaming machine back in the old days. Luckily my friend had it and we played a lot.
-
The Amiga was designed to be the ultimate games machine but the bottom fell out of the gaming market so they turned it into a proper multitasking computer. But the uber games machine stuff still showed through.
When you realise that the A500 and the 286 were around at the same time it really shows you how advanced that computer was.

:wtf: What's not satisfactory about this?

None of the links work for one thing

The important thing is that you see numerous references to something called "Aikko", which should be enough to tell you to Google that term and download the latest version.
