Syndicate was ace...but I want to relive the games I loved as a kid, which were :
Afterburner
remember the 180 rotation?!! COOL!
Gauntlet
insert a pound between 4 and play for 5 hours
Double Dragon
insert a pound between 2 and play til complete
N.A.R.C.
am I the only one who remembers this anti drugs propaganda double dragon-esque game?
Dragons Lair
the original Laser Disc version - very exclusive arcade game that was. I was so excited when I saw that this immense game was stored on this 12" flat shiny disc. I remember thinking "wow, where will technology go next??!"
Everyone's a Wally
think that was the name, there was a few sequels too. They were great games, you had to move around and interact with bizarre characters to solve puzzles.
Spellbound
I think the sequel was called "Knights Tale". They were awesome games...a bit like everyone's a wally but you play this little monochrome knight who can cast spells and mix potions. Very very cool.
Jet Set Willy
I can't even explain the dedication I gave to this game....but I never did manage to beat it.
Sabre Wolf
The first "3D" game that spawned a hundred rip-offs. A killer, but just brilliant.
Green Beret
2D Platform type game where you run around and shoot soldiers and tanks. Awesome.
Tau Ceti
I had a copy of this b*gger on a C60 Tape, but I didn't have the instructions. It was an absolute biyatch if you didn't know what to do. Eventually I nipped to my local corner shop and read the instructions...which led onto an unbelievable amount of gameplay.
Spy Hunter
I couldn't do it then, and I can't do it now....but I still loved it. "ooh you can change into a boat....oooooh"
Repton 1,2,3 & 4
The original "dig through the earth and release rocks by going under them, collect all the jewels and escape the level" type game. Was superb.
God I could go on for hours....there are soooo many classics....but of course, everyone knows my favourite pass-time was
Elite - the daddy of all games
