I recently dug out my old A500+ from the attic, and one of the games i have is Knightmare by mindscape, i havent set it up yet caus my girlfriend already moans about all the consoles and the speccy 128k i have in the room.
But i do intend to play it when she goes down to her grans for holiday.

I didn't realise people still owned Amigas. I used to have two or three and was very sad when we got rid of them. I used to love a lot of the games. Do you need to connect an Amiga to the PC to get an emulator to work?
I can't remember owning a Knightmare game on it.
I was also wondering does anyone still have a spectrum, Commodore Plus 4 or 64, Amstrad or an old Nintendo or Sega Mega drive?
I used to have have a Commodore (Plus 4 I think). I can't remember if that was before Knightmare was ever shown then.

Anyone remeber KM the game on the Amstrad?
That was hard, I only got into room 3 with the old man
-
Yeesh.
If I remeber correctly, you have to pick up something, then 'open door' go through next area, then 'give item to man'
I cant get any firther, even in this age of enlightenment.

The Amstrad Is A Velly Old Computorb, colour diplay but uses floppys... now I think about it, its the PC Console!

if you press a certain button it cycles thoguh all the option of that letter... I think it was pressing the same button twice actually.....

COLOUR?!?!? When did that happen? Mine has a green screen and a built-in tape deck!
The CPC had three colour modes:
Mode 0: 160x200 pixels with 16 colours
Mode 1: 320x200 pixels with 4 colours
Mode 2: 640x200 pixels with 2 colours
All the games I've seen have used either Modes 0 or 1/ The four-colour Mode 1 would usually give a good idea of what weas going on with a green screen, whereas Mode 0 was a disaster whichever way you looked at it - double-block graphics always look horrible, and there was no way of mixing the two, unlike on the C64.
I'm sure I saw someone describe Mode 0 graphics as "looking at a macaw through a cracked window". Never was there a more appropriate description.
In case you're all wondering, I was (and still am) a Spectrum owner.

I am liking that description, it is rather accurate...
I still remember my Dad's CPC6128 with the hideous blue screen and yellow text. Of course, we all thought it was the height of sophistication...
I never even made it that far. And I still have the game, along with my CPC464...and I still can't get any further!
