NTSCuk Acorn Archimedes Retrospective

[Matt]

I had work experience at a computer business that had one of these. Spent 2 weeks playing Zarch, and wrote a small program to play the music from Crocodile Dundee. Happy days

The Archimedes version was called Zarch. Or Lander, for the demo.

Thats it! Lander Mixed the name up.

I watched Micro Men last night well about 2am this morning, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved seeing Clive rolling up his "Millwall brick" and testing it on the dining table. Good solid performance all round from the cast. Probably watch it again before it's pulled.

We had one in our school many years ago. It really stood out since all ther other machines were BBC Micros. I remember someone playing a racing game called E-Type on it. Possibly a jaguar based game? It looks fantastic back then.

There's a video up of E-Type 2. It looks really smooth and fast.

We never had an Archimedes at school, just loads of bloody BBC Model Bs. We had this maths teacher who didn't give a crap about anything, and he had this Micro Power compilation disc, so we'd just play Ghouls all lesson. Having said that, he was probably the reason why I didn't get my Maths GCSE.

Bloody Ghouls, eh.

BBC MOdel B's at school - then worked for a childrens software company on Archimedes.. Managed to get hold of a Gameboy emulator for one once.
