The BBC Micro conversion of Ultimate‘s classic Lunar Jetman is a very good one, using a high res display mode for the graphics, which are mostly monochrome (just like the Spectrum original).

BBC Micro games.
Sabre Wulf, Commodore 64
The Commodore 64 version of Ultimate‘s classic Sabre Wulf was made by Greg Duddle of Mr. Micro for Firebird Software, who published the game in 1985.
Sabre Wulf, BBC Micro
The BBC Micro version of Ultimate Play The Game‘s classic Sabre Wulf is so chunky and garish that it hurts the eyes! That said: it plays well enough.
Manic Miner, BBC Micro
BBC Manic Miner was released by Software Projects in 1984.
Compared to the Spectrum original it is slow and flickery, and isn’t quite as colourful, although it plays pretty much identically so isn’t too bad.
Spy Hunter, BBC Micro
David Hoskins made this BBC Micro conversion of Spy Hunter for Micro Power, Sega and US Gold (not to mention Bally Midway) in 1986.*
It’s a strange conversion overall.
Knight Lore, BBC Micro
Legendary developer Ultimate Play The Game gave good support to the BBC Micro, releasing many of their iconic games on the platform.
Bubble Bobble, BBC Micro
This 1989 BBC Micro conversion of Taito‘s classic arcade game, Bubble Bobble, was never commercially released. Which is a shame because it is rather excellent.
Imogen, BBC Micro
Imogen is an endearing and memorable BBC Micro action/adventure, published by Micro Power in 1986.
Castle Quest, BBC Micro
Castle Quest was published for the BBC Micro in 1985 by Micro Power.
It was written by a young Tony Sothcott and is a platform adventure game with simple puzzles and a scrolling landscape.
Uridium, BBC Micro
Another conversion, but a very good one. Andrew Braybrook‘s classic horizontally-scrolling shooter, Uridium.
