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.

Video game companies.
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.
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.
Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Super Nintendo
This suped-up version of Capcom‘s classic Ghouls ‘N Ghosts on the Super Nintendo is a massive amount of fun to play!
Bubble Symphony, Sega Saturn
This 1997 Sega Saturn conversion is an official sequel to Bubble Bobble, and is a brilliant game in its own right.
Jackass: The Game, PlayStation 2
Jackass: The Game on the PlayStation 2 is one of THE best video games ever made. Period. Not only is it THE ultimate multiplayer party game, but it also has an ingenious single-player element too. Ingenious because of the way it unlocks new things as you play. The reward system in this game is just brilliant.
Daze Before Christmas, Megadrive/Genesis
Sunsoft’s Christmas-themed platform game Daze Before Christmas first came out on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis in 1994.
