Ahhh, Stuntcar Racer, one of my favourite all time games. Had it on my Atari 1040.

ETA - actually, looking at that, is that Wolf of Gladiators fame?? (I know she's Maria Whittaker)

That's a Mk II, the original looks like this (which obviously wouldn't work on the + since it's thicker). This is mine, with the original instruction sheet

Tir Na Nog, I never got the point of that game

I am musing on the grammatical possibilities of the thread title.

To wit; is it possible/permissible/acceptable to use the word "nostalge" in relation to fond memories?

ie, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm nostalging."

Really!?

Our old dog would be laughing his tail off (if dogs could laugh!) I think he maimed more actionforce troops than any of the wars I waged.

There is a slim chance that this vehicle may have survived and still be in the loft:



I seemed to be the only kid with actionforce in our street - the rest of them had Starwars figures.

It's a bit like the word SHOP, shop always used to be a noun i.e. a building containing goods for sale. If you went to the shop to buy goods then you went shopping.

But in recent years SHOP has become a verb also and is used in place of 'shopping'. People now say, "I did my weekly shop yesterday."

So I guess the same rule can apply to nostalgia. I had a nostalge yesterday.

I love this thread. I was so jealous of my brothers who had one each and I had a green stty one half its size.

That tank just reminded me of this:

I believe we have invented a new verb, "Nostalge". Let us conjugate:

I am nostalging.
I nostalged.
I will nostalge.
