G’day/

I’m a child of the 70s and actually spent age 8 – 12 in Saudi Arabia. That was when I played all these games that are now ‘retro’. 

Our school had TRS-80s, a mate had a ZX-81, we had an Atari 2600 and later an Apple ][ ‘europlus’, and back in Australia a mate had a Commodore 64.

(Yes I also owned a boombox, and the original Sony Walkman) 

So it’s those platforms that got me into computer gaming.

Back here in Australia I also played various arcade machines, one of my favourites being the tabletop ‘Xevious’.

There was one game I recall which was a fighting game and it had various scenes in the background with each fight – I specifically recall a Japanese theme (in fact the whole game might have been) – I don’t suppose anyone has any ideas what it might be from that very vague description?

Also my wife says she used to play Prince of Persia – what platform/s was that on? (She didnt have an Apple – probably a Nintendo or something) 

Í’ve bought a pi4 and will install a retropi on it. 

As far as Apple games are concerned I’m looking for (as many as possible) but at least – 

Taipan, Norad / Missile Command,  BC’s Quest for Tires,Castle Wolfenstein, Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, Zork, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Moon Patrol, Choplifter, Gobbler/pac-man, Spy Hunter, F-15 Strike Eagle,  Olympic Decathlon, Frogger, Pitfall, Space Invaders, Galaxians, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, Stellar 7, Lode Runner, Zaxxon, Raster Blaster, Test Drive.

But naturally I’d like the “çomplete set” for the Apple and Atari 2600 – for old times sake.  

Happy for anyone to steer me in the right direction….

I also love text adventures like Leather Goddesses of Phobos, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Starship Titanic, but I don’t suppose retropi is the best option there? Perhaps there’s a way to play them on some emulator in Windows 10?
