That would have to be a tough one:

TRS-80: Can't even....
8088 CGA PC: Leisure Suit Larry/Arkanoid
Mega Drive: Street Fighter 2
Mega Drive w/ Master System converter: Phantasy Star
Mega Drive w/ 32X: Doom
Pentium 100: Frontier First Encounters/XCOM/TIE Fighter
Pentium 2: Counterstrike (and Day of Defeat)

That about covers up to the turn of the century.

About bloody time! Scheduled for a June release to bring the XB1 up to date with the PC version.

No doubt this is strategic timing with No Mans Sky due on the PS4...

Yeah quite possible. However, I am a Premium member (backed during kickstarter) so I get all the beta access on PC, so I have been doing the Horizons deal for quite a while.

The Horizons Xbox launch is supposed to include the 2.1 update as well, so all the new 'Engineers' stuff, as well as the new C4 weapons.

Arkanoid is a classic! Had that on C64, I think. Had X-Com on the PS1...excellent stuff.

haha, tricky to narrow it down innit? Shout outs to Tomb Raider 1 & 3 for the PS1 too, Silent Hill as well. Favourite racing game is Rollcage, also on PS1.

I'd kick your arse with Baek on Tekken 2, by the way.

mate of mine's a total Total War nutter...on the forums all the time too. Not my thing, really. Burnout was fun if you mean the one where you just crash as spectacularly as possible.

Yes, the XB1 forum on the FDev site was in meltdown when this was announced lol

Although a few have noticed the anti-aliasing has been lowered in the recent patch, so I imagine it will take a bit of a graphical step-down.

Not a surprise really. Although I can live with that providing the game works, which with Frontier is a 50/50 shot at best lol

Am liking the look of some of the new improvements though!

I just don't know how you can manage with just the Xbox controller.....I have a HOTAS and use Voice Attack and still don't have enough buttons on the HOTAS!!!!

Just got DC Universe online, Dirt 2 and Defence Grid 2 for free on Xbox one. Downloading them now and will have a go when I get home later. Love a good rally game. DC is a micro transaction game though so will play till it gets to the point where they start wanting money out of me.

One of my favourite ever racing games that. For me it's up there with the original Gran Turismo. It's one of the only games I'm actually decent at and the top difficulty setting can be a bit of a challenge.I Online was fun too, but bloody frustrating.

They have somehow managed to bind all the buttons to the controller. Mostly a combo of holding down one of the face buttons and flicking the d-pad. Works ok actually.

Although the boost button is 'B' and deploy landing gear is 'B + D-pad down' which button mis-press usually fires you into the back wall of the station

ZX Spectrum: Ghosts n' Goblins
Atari 2600: Crystal Castles
NES: Super Mario Bros 3
Sega Master System: Alex Kidd in Miracle World

SNES: Super Punch Out
Mega Drive: Shadowrun
PS1: Final Fantasy 7
PS2: Grand Theft Auto III (Toss up between about six games for this system though)
N64: Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Dreamcast: Shenmue II
XBox 360: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Nintendo DS: Dragon Quest IX: Sentinel of the Starry Skies
Nintendo 3DS: Pokemon X

... when I list it like that, I've had a ridiculous amount of consoles haha - the only two I don't currently own are the Atari 2600 and Spectrum.

The best gaming system by a mile was the PS1. Absurd amount of top quality games.

Rule 1: Unbind "Jettison All"

Honestly! Putting it next to the cargo scoop button!!! This was back before collector limpets.....I had a Type 6 loaded with Palladium and I went to scoop a couple of tons of cargo dropped by a pirate who failed in his job, when I dropped over 90 tonnes of palladium instead of deploying the scoop.

"Jettison All" went straight into the bin after that.

Yeah, I've heard of a few doing that

Luckily 'Jettison All' can only be accessed via the Right Panel on console
