Psychosis This is an all-time classic , Great Intro Music , Super play , and yes I got pretty sick sometimes losing the ball

One must not forget that the hardware used in those days were not all that great compared to today.
I had an Amiga with 2 Mb Fast and 2 Mb slow memory , but the program was written even for an Amiga 500 with only 512 Kb.
So remember when you hear the Great !!!! Intro and sounds ( 4 channel audio , 3 music and 1 effect ) and see the smoothness of screenscroll ( Amiga ) , its al written for 512 Kb !!! , and that is some programming if you ask me , compared to the 4 Gb installed in my pc today.

Personally I played this game a lot on an Amiga 500 ( original release ) , and later on pc but i must say that the Amiga version runs smoother than the DOS version , I still sometimes play this game ( when i am in a nostalgic mood ) , but not in a dosbox , but rather with WinUae ( Amiga Emulator )

My rating for this game would be a 5 ( original release on Amiga ) and a 4 for the pc version.

p.s. playback the intro of this game for a old amiga owner and i think 75 % or more will tell you the name of the game.

Dave I would say addictive and immediate (and funny of course),
I like to play it when I don't have much time and when my mind is tired.

The Fifth Horseman *Sigh*

Since the name a standard keyboard connector doesn't seem to ring a bell, I take it your experience with computers is fairly limited?

PS/2 is a type of connector commonly used for keyboards. Nowadays the USB keyboards begin dominating the market, but PS/2 ones are not difficult to find (just ask at your local computer store) and are still widely used. Most new motherboards still have PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports.

A dummy's guide to changing your keyboard to a PS/2 one:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Unplug the wireless module of your current keyboard from the USB port.
3. Locate a purple PS/2 port on the back of the computer's case. It looks like the one here
4. Plug in the PS/2 keyboard.
