Emlyn Hughes Int Soccer,
Audiogenic (30.8K)
Not as good as the Match Day series in my opinion,
but with more options to play with. Nice player animation
too.
|
|
|
Enduro Racer, Activision
(30.4K)
A fairly early, but very playable racer. I used
to love this one (when it would load!).
|
|
|
Exolon, Hewson (23.7K)
Flick screen spaceman platform action. Difficult but
strangely addictive.
|
|
|
Fairlight 2, The Edge
(30.4K)
Isometric platformer, a la Head over Heels. Unfortuntely
nothing comes close for me, though I'm probably being
unfair........
|
|
|
Feud, Bulldog (26.2K)
This game was a budget classic, being released at only
£2.99 and winning a Crash game of the Month award (I
think!). Guide Learic around collecting ingrediants
for spells to zap his evil brother Leanoric.
|
|
|
Finders Keepers, Mastertronic
(21.3K)
This game was the first to feature Magic Knight, who
went on to star in a series of great puzzle games. Worth
a look.
|
|
|
Firelord, Impulse (32.7K)
SImilar in style to Atic Atac but with better sound
and graphics, and the added ability of being able to
nick stuff from the shops!
|
|
|
Football Manager, Addictive
(11.8K)
One of the original football manager games, given classic
status by many.
|
|
|
Footballer of the Year 2,
Gremlin (19.6K)
A slightly strange take on the football management
genre, however this game is still quite enjoyable. Manage
your career as a player instead of the team, and try
to get picked for the national side.
|
|
|
Fox Fights Back, Image
Works (24.0K)
Use your gun toting fox and bring back some chickens
for your wife, but avoid the dastardly mutts!
|
|
|

Early classic from A&F - only worth it for the
nostalgia.
|
|
|
Gauntlet, US Gold (75.3K)
Guide one of 4 adventures around the many levels in
this overhead arcade classic. Simultaneous 2 players
games are also possible.
|

Capture ghosts and defeat Zool, in this game of the
film. Watch out for the Marshmallow Man though!!
|

Great Escape, The, Ocean
(29.8K)
Escape from Colditz in this superb isometric action
puzzler. See the maps
section for help.
|
|
|
Green Beret, Ocean (30.2K)
Rescue the hostages in this classy (but difficult)
side scrolling combat game. I could never get off level
2!
|
|
|
Head Over Heels, Ocean (36.5K)
3D Isometric platform puzzle game featuring Head and
Heels. My favourite games of all time!!
Visit the maps

|
Hobbit, The, Melbourne House
(30.0K)
A text adventure based on J.R. Tolkeins superb book.
Capture the gold from the Dragon and place it in the
chest.
|
|
|
Horrace Goes Skiing, Psion
(8.2K)
An early classic from Psion. Guide Horrace across the
busy road to collect his skis, and then back again to
the slopes. Why they don't put a pedestrian crossing
in I don't know.....
|
|
|
Hypersports, Ocean (31.0K)
Another joystick buster, this time with
improved graphics and playability.
See if you can get on the Hi-Score
table.
|
|
|
IK +, Software Studios (28.6K)
A superb fighting game with a good variety of moves
and some humorous effects. Also great graphics and sound.
|
|
|
Ikari Warriors, Elite (27.5K)
A worthy sequel to Commando, with simultaneous 2 player
action and driveable tanks! Watch you don't run out
of fuel though...
|
|
|
Jack the Nipper, Gremlin (23.6K)
Score points by doing as many naughty things as possible.
Great idea, but need perseverance (I always found this
very hard!).
|
|
|
Jack the Nipper 2, Gremlin
(27.4K)
Same idea as before, but this time set in the jungle,
with a bigger play area and improved graphics. I much
prefer this one...
|
|
|
Jet Set Willy, Software
Projects(16.9K)
The most nostalgic game of all?!
|
|
|
Joe Blade, Players Premier
(22.7K)
Top notch budget game, where you (Joe Blade) have to
rescue the six international leaders who have been captured.
|
|
|
Knight Lore, Ultimate
(22.0K)
An early 3D isometric game from Ultimate, much the
same as Head over Heels, though possibly lacking some
of the gameplay. Still a very good game though.
|
|
|
Knight Tyme, Mastertronic
(60.3K)
Brilliant budget puzzle game featuring Magic Knight.
Sequel to Spellbound and followed by Stormbringer.
|
|
|
Laser Squad (66.2K)
A superb tactical game, where you must equip and deploy
your squad for each mission. I missed out on this one
when I was younger, but have made up for it since!
|
|
|
Leaderboard Golf, US Gold
(22.0K)
The first (and last) golf game I have ever played for
a decent amount of time. It may take a little too long
to draw each screen, but this is a masterpiece in it's
own time.
|
|
|
Lords of Midnight, Beyond
Software (28.6K)
This game is brilliant! Guide Luxor the Moonprince
around the land with his allies, recruiting armies and
finding useful objects, with the aim of defeating Doomdark.
An adventure wargame whose plot draws inspiration from
Lord of the Rings.
|
|
|
Lotus Esprit Turbo, Gremlin
(54.3K)
First of three racers, and my favourite of the series.
Features 2 player mode which is great fun.
|
|
|
Magnetron, Firebird (27.0K)
This game had me hooked for ages all those years ago.
Guide your robot around the levels 'grappling' with
other robots to take control of them. Similar in a way
to Ranarama.
|
|
|
Manic Miner, Software Projects
(13.7K)
The classic Spectrum game of all time?
|
|
|
Matchday, Ocean (25.5K)
Great in it's time - programmed by Chris Clarke and
Jon Ritman (Head over Heels). I'm sure it didn't seem
so difficult to score when I first played it...!
|
|
|
Midnight Resistance, Ocean
(69.1K)
Faithful conversion of the arcade machine with great
music.
|
|
|
Myth, System 3 (97.8K)

to keep you going.
