This very early 1983 ZX Spectrum game by Don Priestley is still a joy to play to this day.
The premise is simple: you have to find the missing gold and return it to its rightful place.

10th Planet, Canned Bethesda, PC
***CANNED GAME***
I remember being shown this game at Bethesda HQ in around 1995.
10th Planet it was called. And it never came out.
Final Fantasy, NES/Famicom
The first ever Final Fantasy game was released in Japan in 1987 and North America in 1990. The Famicom/NES release of Final Fantasy was when Squaresoft really made the rest of the world first sit up and take notice.
Dungeon Master, PC
Although the mighty Dungeon Master did come out on the Atari ST first, its best incarnation can be found on the PC, in MS-DOS.
Star Wars Arcade, Sega 32X
This exciting-looking Star Wars game was first released in arcades in 1993, then released for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis 32X in 1994. It was a launch title for the 32X add-on peripheral.

Dave Reidy‘s sequel to Skool Daze is a brilliant comedy sandbox ‘school simulator’ where you play a kid trying to make his way through a ‘typical’ 1980s school day, by squirting water pistols (sometimes filled with sherry, which can intoxicate teachers, if fired at them accurately), sabotaging school shields (found on some walls), avoiding lines, writing on blackboards, and trying to sneak into the neighbouring girl’s school.

Rayman was developed for the Atari Jaguar as the game’s original target system, and it is seen as something of a ‘killer app’ on the console. It certainly is one of the best – maybe even the best – platform games on the Jaguar.
Bubble Ghost, Commodore 64
There are a number of Bubble Ghost conversions floating around, but the Commodore 64 version is arguably the best.

A simple light bikes type game, but with a modern twist.
