So I'm remenising about old the old days of rubber keyboards and r-tape loading error's and decided to share my small list of games that i currently play every now and again that still hold my interest, long after more recent buys have faded into pixel heaven.

I'm not talking a full play through, or a new gane that is holding my interest coz its uncompleted or all new to me. I'm talking about games that in my opinion, have great replay value and longetivity, just like the old days when games would last for months, or so i seem to remember- man against machine, how games SHOULD be! ;) as opposed to man WITH machine -mistakes, errors or lack of skill means nothing in these types of games, you just restart from usualy not more than 2 or 3 mins back. I think they call it accessibility. bah i call it selling out! [end rant]

anyway enough of the moaning, ^^ my list -in no particular order
Then:Mean 18 (speccy), Pga golf (c64), Jack nicholas (with course designer) (amiga)
Now: Everybod'ys golf world tour (ps3)

I love arcadey games that are pick up and go (being raised on 8bit, 16k, 16 colors and and mono beeps for sound, anything after a ps1 for me was like having a free arcade in my own home:), arcadey graphics, arcadey playability, and arcadey sounds.It just keeps me coming back for another round or 2, at least once a week. The early courses are great fun to play and the later ones with wobbly greens and more water hazzards than a tsunam require real skill (and a smattering of luck) to get by with a decent score. Equipment unlocks, tricky "bosses" (ish), and a kind of xp system to allow an even greater variety of shots and skills like the "homing shot", backdoor puts and super spin, to name but a few. The real icing tho' is multi player. I still scream YESSSSS!!!! when i chip in a birdie that was perhaps a make or break shot. i still scream "Mo$3**$%^r F%£"**^g son of a $£&&^%, C*&%**ish F&$£*&^%g Game its S&%T ANYWAY" when i miss, and then carry on feeling better for the outburst, knowing that i'll still be playing in 6 months time anyway.

always up for a round if ya want 1..... everybodys golf?, everlasting golf more like! Fore!

More soon...
