Hi all, I'm Nick and I live in Oxfordshire and very much a midlife gamer smile

Xbox live tag – Caliburn M was Caliburndether.

I grew up with a grandstand console (pong variants), Speccy, Atari ST, PS1, PC, PS2 and currently PC, wii, Ipod touch and earlier this year a nice shiny Xbox s. As well as still having all of the above also have various other retro bits and bobs.

My fav games are hmm  Elite (speccy), Ultima IV (ST), Civ games (multi), GTA vice city (PS2) Assasins Creed Brotherhood, Mass effect 1 and 2 (PC) and tons more tbh.

oooo and Diablo 2…

and UO, Doac and Eve (all main characters called Caliburn).

Been playing through some of my stepsons older xbox games and just finaly beat General Raam, good job I'm a calm midlife gamer I think there may have been some damage done to the controller if I was younger. Can't stand games where the final boss is so much more difficult than the rest of the game (I'm looking at you torchlight).

Currently waiting for GOW 3 and new Xbox live gold subscription card to be delivered.

Fav biccy Choc hobnobs (Plain none of that milky crap)

Beverage hmm Southern comfort.

 

Sig here ?? lets see.Nope try again smile Ah there we go.

Hi mate

 

Welcome to the forums. Your gaming history is very similar to mine except I had a Atari 2600 in between the granstand console and the speccy plus I owned the superior Amiga rather than a crappy ST (fanboy wars never end!).

 

Elite and Ultima IV are also amongst my favourite games.

 

Please send me a friend request (AncientGamerUK) and when you get GOW3 come join the community on the multiplayer.

Ohhh did you ever try Chaos Strikes Back?

From memory it was the Dark Souls to Demon's Souls… but it started you off with high level characters

 

Hi by the way x

Hello.

 

I never played Elite nearly enough on the Spectrum. Too many frustrating reloads on account of that damn Lenslok and the crappy wobbly portable TV I had then. Was there ever a more ridculous anti-piracy device?

 

Will send you an add. I trust you'll be up for some AC Revelations MP in a few weeks time?!

Never had any problems with lenslock <shrug> . Will defiantly  be keeping a close eye on AC revelations, though with GOW 3 to play and and all the other good stuff coming out ( and lack of money for another 2 years frown )  it might have to wait to xmas.
