Prisoner Cell Block H

Was there a Prisoner Cell Block H game?

Nah, . I just used to end up watching all the time cos it was on at ridiculous times. In the end I really got into it and wouldnt miss an epsiode for love nor money.

Long live lizzy Birdsworth.

They used to show Prisoner Cell Block H on tv here in the early 90s. I miss it.
In Australia they released a complete dvd set with all episodes, on 179 discs!

A pal of mine gave me a link to an ebay auction for that set a good while back. It sold for a small fortune. Pcbh was really good imo and I really used to enjoy it. I met Val Lehman purely by chance(Bea Smith) outside a chip shop in Castle Bromwich. How random is that lol.

It sucks that the boxset is so hard to find. Luckily there are *other* ways to find old episodes of the series.

Prisoner Cell Block H

Was there a Prisoner Cell Block H game?

Actually there was!
Not offical ones. But there was a Freeware game for Windows created by a British fan, Mark Leonard, called H Block. It was followed up by H Block 2: Return to Wentworth and H Block 3: The Siege!

They can actually still be found online even though the original site is long gone:

Not sure how easy it is to get them to work with newer versions of Windows than XP . Haven't tried to install or play them for years myself. Remember trying a few years ago on Windows Vista (shudders) and I think I only got one of them to work. But could be worth a try?

[Gibberish Driftwood]

Neat. I will try those out. Thanks for the link.

Of course being my age you've had lost of great moments playing video games. But from the most recent ones I must say the boss fight against The End in Metal Gear Solid 3. MGS is my favorite game series and I always thought the bosses in these games are really varied and epic, but the old geezer in the third installment was just an amazing experience. First time it took me 1,5 hours to beat the man. And not at one point did I get bored even the slightest. Time just flew. Tracking his footprints, trying to see the glare of his sniper rifle's scope, catching his parrot then letting it loose and following the noise with the microphone, taking your positions in a bush and just sitting still and listening, epic, epic stuff. And as the sugar on top, waiting for a few days for the guy to die of old age. These kind of things are the reasons why I love the MGS series. Back in 98 or 99 the first MGS game was a jaw-dropping experience and all games since have pretty much had the same impact on me. The only grind I have with MGS4 was that the boss battles weren't as varied and epic as in the previous games. They were very good, but not as huge as I would've wanted.

From the older gaming experiences isn't really about playing the game itself. But back in 1992 I remember playing Megaman on the Nes when my neighbor and then best friend called me and said his dad got us movie premiere tickets for WAYNE'S WORLD. So I paused the game, we went to see the movie and when I came back home, I unpaused the game and continued where I left off. I'm a highly nostalgic person and I always tell this stuff when I can.

The best gaming moment? Beating the Control Level in GoldenEye 007 on 00 Agent difficulty! What a thrill!

The first time I completed Turrican 2 on the Amiga. When the credits started rolling up the screen I thought, this is the time for gaming.

Present day? Probably finishing Dark Souls, I didn't think I would ever get through it

However, there are probably too many to think about or remember.

Finishing dark souls!! Wow, you have balls of steel my friend, balls of steel.

Haha thank you, I was literally shaking sometimes during the boss fights - pure panic!!

[StickHead]

pure panic!!

Now that's an emotion you don't feel nearly enough in modern gaming: blind panic. I remember feeling a lot back in the day, mostly when playing Sinistar clone Deathstar, or when Baron Von Blubba appeared on Bubble Bobble with that sinister music. The music/countdown when Sonic was running out of air almost paralysed me with fear, too.

I might have to invest in a bit of Dark Souls. Somebody on the forums was taling about a survival FPS game without weapons, that sounded like the kind of feeling I'm after - can anyone remember its name?

[OutRun]

so, I'm standing in my local arcade playing Street Fighter 2 when this Chinese dude comes up and just puts his coin in and cuts in to my game.

I was kind of miffed as you can imagine but I had a big smile on my face after I beat him rather badly in two straight bouts and sent him packing.

I lost my next fight but I was still smiling. lol

I cant recommend it, or Demons Souls highly enough.
