The sequel to the classic Impossible Mission by Epyx is arguably just as good as the original, but with updated graphics and puzzles.

Viewpoint, Neo Geo
This unusual isometric shooter from Sammy is pretty much perfect on the mighty Neo Geo.
Cybermorph, Atari Jaguar
Cybermorph: one of the first reasonably impressive releases on the much maligned Atari Jaguar. That said: it’s a very simple ‘fetch’ game with light shoot ’em up elements, and – apart from some impressively coloured graphics – there really isn’t much to it.
Worms, PlayStation
The 1995 PlayStation version of Andy Davidson‘s classic Worms is undoubtedly the best version of the game ever made. Ocean and Team 17 collaborated on this release.
It is an incredible multiplayer game, for up to four people.
Far Cry, PC
Far Cry is one of the greatest first-person shooters ever made. Sure: it looks a little simplistic now, but at the time of release (2004) it was a revelation.
Wasteland, Commodore 64
Wasteland is a sprawling Role-Playing Game that could be said to be a prototype of a Fallout game, as it carries many of the traits seen in those type of games.
It was originally released on the Apple II in 1986, then later converted to the Commodore 64 and PC MS-DOS in 1988. Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions followed later.
Dungeon Master, X68000
I’ve picked this version of Dungeon Master to show first, because it features some nice extended graphics, which are unique and don’t get shown very often.
Best Commodore 64 Loading Screens, Part #2
The second part of my favourite Commodore 64 Loading Screens.
Best Commodore 64 Loading Screens, Part #1
I love home computer game Loading Screens, and the Commodore 64 has some of the best around.
Lufia: The Ruins of Lore, Game Boy Advance
Taito’s Lufia series has enjoyed moderate success over a number of platforms and releases over the decades, but this Game Boy Advance release (out in 2002 in Japan, and 2003 in North America – it never got an official European release) is the best game in the series, in my opinion.
