eb, I love you, man!

Now I have somewhere to refer to when I fire up Z26 thinking, "Hmmm, what would be a good game to try?"

Usually I end up playing one of the dozen games that I owned as a kid. The list of carts in the rom-audit-thingys is too full of clones and hacks and PDs to be easily browseable, I find.

[everklear]

Oh, and I'd add "Stampede" for the VCS - Activision, I believe.

[Ahchay]

Blimey - is there any chance this could be whittled down to a top ten arrangement rather than "list every game ever released for the system because it's the greatest thing evah and every game is da bomb!"

Spectrum:

Tir Na Nog/Dun Durach
Wheelie
Splat

That's not the point. THe point is to list good games for platforms so people can try them at their leisure. Not some sort of supposedly definitive top-10 that misses out a huge chunk of good games.

Hell, I couldn't even keep a GameCube "good game" selection to 10 items, and that's only been around for a while...

Ta for that. I'll stick 'em up later...

[everklear]

Hmmmm. Let me think ST for a moment.

Major Motion - was always a lot of fun (Spy Hunter clone)
Time Bandit - I think was the first game I ever had - never did finish it though.
Populous
Gods
Rainbow Islands - awesome port

Man, for all the years the ST was my prime computer you'd think I'd be able to come up with more than that. Perhaps I'll dig out a box of floppies later.

edit:

Ooh, thought of a couple more.

Airball
Crafton and Xunk

Maybe it's just me, but when I see a list of 50 or 60 games, I just can't cope with the information overload and just sort of don't bother trying anything... I'm much more likely to download and try a smaller (more selective) list iz all. Doesn't have to be definitive, just typical...

I hear you though - I was just offering up an option for discussion like
