The Great Giana Sisters, Commodore 64
The Great Giana Sisters is infamous for being the game that Nintendo went after*, because it copied the formula of their Mario games a little too closely for their liking.
Space Taxi, Commodore 64
This ancient little game, made by Muse Software for the Commodore 64 in 1984, is still completely brilliant to play now and has lost none of its appeal over the decades.
The Magic Circle, PC
Hugely fun, satirical 2015 indie game about playing a broken RPG.
The Magic Circle cleverly mixes modern high res graphics with retro DOS-style graphics, and is something of a first on that front.
Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh, Atari ST
More than just another bat and ball game, Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh on the Atari ST is a brilliant conversion of the popular Taito arcade game.
UFO: Enemy Unknown, Amiga
Julian and Nick Gollop and Mythos Games came together to make this classic 16-bit tactical combat game in 1994.
Technician Ted, ZX Spectrum
Screenshots of every level of Hewson’s 1984 platform-gaming classic, Technician Ted. And what a tough game it is! It’s playable and very colourful, though.
Thrust, Commodore 64
The late Jeremy Smith‘s all-time classic gravity game Thrust made its first appearance on the BBC Micro in 1986, through Superior Software. Jeremy soon followed up with conversions to most home computer systems.
Super Aleste, Super Nintendo
The ‘daddy’ of Super NES shooters (in my opinion), Compile’s 1992 masterpiece Super Aleste made waves on consoles, and around the world.
Aleste 2, MSX
Aleste 2 is a stand-out title on the MSX2. It has superb, colourful graphics, and challenging, fast-paced shooter gameplay.
