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.
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.
Dark Side, Amstrad CPC
Dark Side is the second game in Incentive Software‘s famous “Freescape” series, and is arguably best represented – at least on 8-bit machines – on the Amstrad.
Frak!, BBC Micro
Orlando’s Frak! first came out on the BBC Micro in 1984 and instantly became a cult hit.
Amberstar, PC
Amberstar is a German-developed RPG that was originally released for the Atari ST, Amiga and PC MS-DOS in 1992. It is an incredibly difficult game to get a foothold in, but is worth the effort because it is such an interesting gaming challenge to take on.
Oids, Atari ST
Before they made the classic Dungeon Master, FTL (or Software Heaven as they are sometimes known) made the classic Oids – a challenging 16-bit gravity game shooter on the Atari ST.
Dark Star, ZX Spectrum
Dark Star, released in 1984 by Design Design, is a very underrated game, in my opinion.
